Amy Schumer calls Hilaria Baldwin a 'sociopath' for leading people to believe she's from Spain. Baldwin is actually from Boston.
- Amy Schumer jokingly called out Hilaria Baldwin in her new Netflix stand-up special.
- A viral Twitter thread in 2020 accused Baldwin of leading people to believe she's from Spain.
Amy Schumer isn't letting us forget about Hilaria Baldwin's controversy — when a viral Twitter thread listed the ways Alec Baldwin's wife led people to believe she was from Spain when she's actually from Boston.
In Schumer's new Netflix stand-up special, "Emergency Contact," the comedian had no problem joking about the story that made headlines in 2020.
"Do you guys know who Hilaria Baldwin is?" Schumer asked in the stand-up special around the 51-minute mark.
"I'm saying it wrong. I'm sorry," she said before using a Spanish accent to complete her sentence: "Hilaria Baldwin. I just can't wrap my head around this story."
Schumer spoke about meeting Hilaria "years ago" backstage at NBC's "Saturday Night Live." The comedian recalled Baldwin saying she was "'from España'" while using "a very thick Spanish accent."
"They have a von Trapp amount of children," she continued, referencing "The Sound of Music," a film that centered on a family with seven children — Alec and Hilaria Baldwin also have seven children. "And they named them all ― I'm not sure, but very Spanish names like Jamón, Croqueta, and Flamenco."
"And all of this would be fine and beautiful, except that 'Hilaria from España' is actually Hillary from Boston," Schumer said. "This woman is in no way Spanish. Her parents are not from Spain. No one in her life is from Spain. You're going, 'What?!'"
Schumer later said that she's "not trying to bully a sociopath. I have a point, OK?"
Insider reached out to Hilaria Baldwin for comment on Schumer's latest stand-up special but didn't immediately hear back.
Hilaria addressed questions about her nationality and upbringing in a 2020 Instagram video.
"I'm born in Boston, and then I spent some of my childhood in Boston, some of my childhood in Spain," she said in the video. "There was, like, a lot of back-and-forth my entire life, and I'm really lucky that I grew up speaking two languages, and I'm trying to raise my kids so that they speak two languages too."
Baldwin added that when she was "growing up in this country," or the US, she went by the name Hillary, but her "whole family" called her Hilaria.
On the same Instagram post, Alec commented: "You never claimed you were from Spain. You always maintained you were born here."
Still, the comment came after Alec told David Letterman in a 2013 interview that his wife was from Spain, Insider previously reported.
