Alec Baldwin Says ‘My Wife Is From Spain’ (She’s Not) In A Resurfaced Letterman Interview As The Hilaria Baldwin Story Takes Its Latest Weird Twists

“I’m born [sic] in Boston. It was literally the first thing that I told my husband.” Those exact words came out of Hilaria Baldwin’s mouth in response to people accusing her of pretending to be Spanish. She made the statement in this Instagram video (shortly after the 5:00 min mark). In that video, Mrs. Baldwin also stated, “Yes, I am a white girl” and clarified that her actual name is Hillary. This strange mess is precisely the reason why people are revisiting an interview that her husband, Alec Baldwin, gave to David Letterman in 2013.

In the below video, Alec related a story about her wife being on the phone with her hairdresser. During the anecdote, he mimicked an accent and then declared, “My wife is from Spain.” He added, “I don’t mean to be racist when I put that accent on, by the way.”
