How do you say "cut" in Spanish?

The truth about the star's stupidest lie

Hillary Baldwin flaunted a Spanish identity for years, even though she was born in Boston to blatantly non-Spanish parents.

After the truth was revealed, a flood of jokes and angry reactions flooded the net - but one must ask: is it really that awful?

Does it hurt anyone?

Instead of getting angry, you might as well reinvent yourself

Why is it so annoying to us?

Hillary Baldwin once attended a morning show.

She showed viewers a recipe for Spanish gazpacho soup, which makes sense because she is from Spain.

At some point, perhaps out of excitement, she forgot for a moment how to say "cucumbers" in English, which makes sense, because she is Spanish and English is not her mother tongue.

Alec Baldwin, her husband, also often said in interviews that his wife is from Spain, which it probably makes sense, because she is from Spain.

So what if she actually does not?

No need to make an issue.

Hillary Baldwin, it turned out surprisingly this week, is really not Spanish.

She's not even Hillary.

She was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, to the appallingly wasp name Hillary Hayward Thomas, to two distinctly white and non-Spanish parents.

The family spent time here and there in Spain, which is probably their favorite.

Baldwin's parents even moved there after they retired and her brother also lives there with his family.

But she did not grow up there, and on the face of it there is really no excuse to present her as a Spaniard and there is also no reason for her to have a Spanish accent when she speaks English or she will forget how to say cucumber.

Although she has some excuses for that too, if you ask - but do not ask, because it is not really interesting and they are also bad.

A post shared by Hilaria Thomas Baldwin (@hilariabaldwin)

Twitter and Instagram exploded with shocked, angry and contemptuous posts for Hillary Baldwin upon learning the truth about her identity.

She herself, by the way, claims that she has been trying to tell the public her "true story" for a decade, but people just do not understand.

She does not admit, Hillary, that she deliberately misled and created for herself a Spanish image that made her more interesting.

She does not even admit in a softened version that she did not bother to correct those who misunderstood.

She claims she has clarified this matter several times in the past but people just have not absorbed.

Now the question arises: why do we even care that Hillary Baldwin is Hillary from Boston?

Why does this make us angry?

Take a look at these names, black on white and see what they bring up in you: Hillary Hayward Thomas is just someone else from Boston who had a privileged childhood.

She was in high school and was captain of the debate team or cheerleader, she played Lacrosse and was a good student.

Then she probably went to college, got married, had kids, moved to the suburbs, bought a minivan.

The end.

But Hillary?

Hillary is not from here, she is from somewhere else.

She studied flamenco and ate paella, she traveled in Ibiza (and not in Ibiza).

She's exotic, she's a pan, and no wonder the Hollywood star fell in love with her right away and since then they've been living together for fun and making a new kid every year.

Fields of excuses.

Who would you rather meet - Hillary or Hillary?

Obviously you're Hillary.

No question at all.

So why is it annoying?

Okay, that's annoying because it's a lie.

I understand.

But let's try to transcend that for a moment - because besides she's lying to us (which is wrong, Hillary. Este no come on), what did she do altogether?

Who did it hurt that she said she was from Spain?

So she faked a little accent - is that so awful?

We live today in a world that is trying to get sexual and gender fluidity.

Who knows how to contain (or at least aspire to know) people who were born in a particular biological species, but feel that their gender does not match it, or even more challenging cases - of people who do not feel they belong to just one gender.

Maybe we can also get Hillarya Baldwin - a Spaniard born in the body of a wasp, a tumultuous Latin soul who was imprisoned for years in the body of a white and generic girl from Boston.

You will also be Hillary

Life is more beautiful with Hillary.

So what makes you angry?

That she took on an artistic freedom and invented a new and exciting identity while remaining committed to the simple identity you were born into?

So do not be angry, you will also be hilarious.

Let go of the imagination and your hidden desires and maybe you too will be able to live the life you dreamed of.

You do not have to reinvent yourself completely, even a spicy biography decoration can do the job.

Try to start saying words in an Italian accent, or maybe fake a small limp and when someone notices tell him "oh, is that? A shrapnel wound" and rub his left knee and bite a tongue knowingly that will leave more questions than answers.

Isn't it nicer to just be an organizational consultant from Rehovot or a product manager from Rosh HaAyin?

"6 times Hillary Baldwin's Spanish accent went wrong in front of the camera"

When I walk into a Starbucks branch abroad and the cashier asks what my name is, I do not say string. I realized pretty quickly that my Hebrew name is too much for them. After they pour into it their leaky coffee.I have no strength to start spelling it for them and I have to try every time to figure out if on the night of the consonants that was hesitantly ejected into the room space was their attempt to read 'Death RRRR' from the collection stand. Sasha "or" Shannon "- yes, every time something different. It's more interesting that way, more fun. It hurts someone? It's

hard for us with imposters, it's obvious. Life is a challenge that has not made a career out of it. I'm not talking, of course, about the cases in which impersonation is used to steal or take something from people fraudulently - whether it's money, control or emotions. Hillary did not take anything from you, on the contrary, she is a gift that never stops giving. Yes, Spanish, no Spanish ... Hillary 11 ... How to say in Spanish. ? fun with you.
