It may feel like centuries ago in the current news cycle, but that was actually just last month. And if you forgot, it all started with comedian Amy Schumer having fun with Baldwin posing with her baby in lingerie.
Now Schumer is talking about the story that has consumed the internet.
Schumer re-posted the image on her Instagram account with a brutal caption. But Baldwin does not see humor in Schumer’s message and goes to her own Instagram page with a video message calling out Schumer and body shamers. Commentators then began to notice that Baldwin’s usual Spanish accent was conspicuously absent.
It was then that her legacy was called into question, and people pointed out that she grew up in Boston, despite numerous online biographies mentioning that she was born and bred in Spain. Although her family now lives on the Spanish island of Mallorca, they are from America. There, videos of Baldwin’s television shows began to circulate, one from the “Today Show” in which Baldwin forgot the English word for cucumber, and even her husband said late one night that she was from Spain.
It was then that Schumer again made fun of Baldwin on Instagram in a post that has since been removed.
“I felt like everyone was watching it. Just like, ‘What’s going on?’ I thought we were still 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], ”Schumer explained.
“Look, she’s a mother. She has a million and a half children, and it’s really hard,” Schumer added. “So I just do not want them to have a bad time. But you can also not just pretend to be from Spain. ‘
Since the controversy, Baldwin has gone low and has not posted on her Instagram page since the end of December.
