‘Taking Her Voice': Hilaria Baldwin Revisits Her Accent Controversy
It was the cooking demo heard round the world. During the Covid-19 lockdown of December 2020, online sleuths stuck at home began digging up past public appearances of Hilaria Baldwin, a yoga instructor and the wife of Alec Baldwin. They were pointing out what they viewed as discrepancies in her Spanish accent and in stories she had told about childhood experiences in Spain. A chief example was one in which Ms. Baldwin seemingly forgot the English word for cucumber during a cooking segment on the 'Today' show, an event that The New York Times once called 'the unfortunate cucumber moment.' Five years later, in a new memoir, 'Manual Not Included,' Ms. Baldwin talks about being 'canceled' over claims that she was faking a Spanish accent. She doubles down in defending her speech, explaining that it is the result of a common tendency among bilingual speakers to 'code-switch.' She also invokes medical research around how common this behavior is and notes that her attention deficit hyperactivity disorder can affect her speech.
