Amy Schumer nudged Hilaria Baldwin for her questionable Spanish accent amid allegations that the Boston-born yoga guru has been faking her ancestors for years.
“I get it. I’ve been to Spain a few times and I loved it too,” the 39-year-old comedian wrote Sunday in a since-deleted Instagram post of a photo of herself wearing sunglasses and an oversized beach hat.
The post featured a cucumber emoji – a thinly disguised reference to Baldwin, 36, who “forgot” the English word for the vegetable on a “Today” show segment.
Schumer and Baldwin swapped barbs last week after the comic jokingly posted a photo of a lingerie-clad Baldwin and her newborn baby as if she were hers and wrote that she “wished everyone a happy holiday.”
Baldwin responded with a video about body shamers – and promptly confused fans by breaking out in an American accent.
Baldwin, who has five children with actor Alec Baldwin, was forced to defend her fluctuating accent and questions about her origins after a viral episode. tweet from Leni Briscoe that read: “You have to admire Hilaria Baldwin’s dedication to her decade-long engraving of posing as a Spanish person.”
In an Instagram video, Hilaria admitted that she was born in Beantown as ‘Hillary’, claiming that she spent ‘part of my childhood in Boston, part of my childhood in Spain’.
“Yes, I am a white girl, my family is white,” she said.
However, her agency biography states that the fitness enthusiast “was born in Mallorca, Spain and grew up in Boston, Massachusetts.”
Baldwin also tried to explain her ever-changing accent on Sunday, saying that she too is getting confused.
“If I’ve spoken a lot of Spanish I tend to mix them or if I speak a lot of English I mix that, it’s one of those things I’ve always been a little unsure about,” she said.
