She is back!
Hilaria Baldwin returned to social media on Friday, posting a photo of herself with husband Alec Baldwin and their five children.
The pseudo-Spaniard, 37, was absent from the public eye for a month after it was discovered that she was actually born Hillary Hayward-Thomas and grew up in Boston, as opposed to Mallorca, as many people believed.
“For the past month I’ve been listening, thinking, and wondering how I can learn and grow,” she began in an elaborate caption. “My parents raised my brother and me in two cultures, American and Spanish, and I really feel a part of both.”
She continued: ‘The way I spoke about myself and my deep connection to two cultures could have been better explained – I should have been clearer and I’m sorry. I take pride in the way I was raised and we raise our children with the same love and respect for both. Being vulnerable and forcing ourselves to learn and grow is what we have built our community on, and I hope to return to the supportive and friendly environment we have built together. “
Hilaria’s scandal unfolded in December after a Twitter user called out to her with a simple comment: “I have to admire Hilaria Baldwin’s dedication to her decade-long caress of posing as a Spanish person.”
From then on, Hilaria’s life imploded as clips resurfaced, including one of her pretending not to know the word for cucumber in English on the “Today” show. She also struggled to sign her 2009 tax return.
She later insisted that she hid her background as a Bostonian only to protect the privacy of her parents – who later moved to Spain.
Hilaria previously said she would take a break from the social media platform in December, but posted just a few hours later.
Alec, 62, himself took a break from social media last month and vowed to stay off Twitter in the aftermath of the scandal.
A representative from Hilaria did not return to us immediately.
