We can sure count on Amy Schumer to always tell it like it is. The comedian recently opened up about her thoughts on the Hilaria Baldwin fake Spanish heritage controversy.
After she was outted by an anonymous Twitter user, Hilaria was forced to admit that her real name is actually Hilary and not Hilaria and that she was born in Boston and not in Mallorca, as was previously reported.
Amy isn’t shy about trolling Hilaria on social media, which she has done on several different occasions. Speaking to ET Online, Amy opened up about all the backlash Hilaria has received in recent weeks for apparently duping everyone in believing that she was Spanish when in fact she’s just as white girl from Boston.
Amy Schumer Says The Hilaria Baldwin Fake Spanish Heritage Controversy Was ‘Insane’
“Oh my god, I really don’t even know what to say. I didn’t know that was going to happen, obviously,” Schumer said of the scandal. “I feel like it was so insane and entertaining that I think Hilaria is probably the only person who is happy about the insurrection in the Capitol, because it distracted [people] from that.”
“She is amazing and I wish her and her family the best,” she added. “And I hope she gets to visit Spain as much as she wants.”
When Amy posted a photo of Alec and Hilaria Baldwin with their five kids as her own pseudo holiday card, she says she had no idea that the Baldwins would be making headlines the next week.
Amy says that she just thought her joke was funny and in no way thought it was insulting to Alec and Hilaria. Amy also posted a photo of Hilaria holding her newborn baby while in lingerie, but pretending that it was her.
She said, “It’s a little insane to be in, like, lingerie with your baby. I just thought that was a little funny, and then I saw that she made a video and she seemed a little bit upset. Not at me, but about the comments she was getting. I was just like, ‘I don’t want to be mean,’ and she seemed like maybe it hurt her feelings, so I just took it down.”
“We were just playing with each other, and then the whole Spain thing came out,” she continued. “I just felt like everybody else watching it. Just like, ‘What is going on?’ I thought we were still kinda playing, so I wrote, ‘Hey, look, I love Spain too.’ But then it became this whole big thing and people were really upset so I just took it down [too].”
