The social media outlook that sparked Hilary Baldwin’s Spanish accent scandal said in a new interview that the popular yoga guru should “own what she did” – and called her a “offensive and wrong” birth in Spain. .
The woman, who started a thread on December 21 under @LeniBriscoe, who questioned Baldwin’s claim that he was born in Mallorca, told the Daily Mail that he has little regret that he was behind the action.
“People were asking me to have nothing better to do and the answer is: no, no,” she told the press on condition of anonymity. “It’s a pandemic, it’s cold outside and I don’t celebrate Christmas.”
Monday said in it Infamous tweet“You have to admire Hilary Baldwin’s commitment to her ten-year charge of imitating a Spanish person.”
In the midst of the firestorm, Baldwin was forced to admit that despite speaking with a dubious accent and claiming to have been born in Spain, she is in fact just a “white girl” from Boston.
The Twitter resident told The New York Times anonymously on Wednesday that he was afraid of going public because Hilaria’s wife, Alec Baldwin, could beat her.
Briscoe – who attended elite Vassar College in upstate New York – criticized Hilaria for claiming to have been born in Spain.
“It is offensive and wrong to pretend that you are an immigrant and that you speak English as a second language and you are approaching the real experience that real immigrant women have. That’s not what happened, “she told the Daily Mail.
“She published a post saying that the people in the park think she is a nanny because her children are blond and have blue eyes. That’s what happens to black mothers who actually have an accent, “she said.
“It’s offensive, these are hard experiences that people actually have and she pretended. It is not really necessary. It could be a hot white influence. A lot of people do that, ”Briscoe added.
She also said that at first she did not realize that Baldwin imitated a Spaniard before people found articles about Spanish culture.
“That makes me worse,” she told the Daily Mail.
Briscoe also revealed that she was inundated with messages from her original letter, some of which were not kind.
“Some said I did it because I’m jealous and uglier. I don’t care if I’m uglier. It seems like a lot of work to look like her, ”she told the outlet.
But he also said he “feels some responsibility” for reacting to Baldwin on social media.
“It was funny in this case, but social media can be really cruel and harmful when there’s a lot when someone does something that people don’t like. I don’t think it’s wonderful, “she said.
“People were saying cruel and useless things. That bothered me. There are so many things you could criticize Hillary Baldwin for, you don’t have to make fun of how many kids she has, which was really offensive to me, “she added.
“It reminded me of when people make fun of Melania Trump for modeling the nude. Who cares? That doesn’t hurt anyone. He did other things you can make fun of, ”Briscoe said.
“There are elements of misogyny that come in, but it’s important to call people when they do harmful things, which I think was,” she said.
Asked what she would say to Baldwin, Briscoe said: “I would say that I should be sorry for all immigrants and second language English learners and mothers of color who are actually confused with their children’s nannies. He should own what he did. “
