Alec Baldwin flew the Twitter cage and announced on Monday that he would leave the social media platform “for the time being”.
‘Twitter is like a party where everyone shouts. Not much of a party, “he tweeted. “Goodbye for now.”
Baldwin’s departure from Twitter comes weeks after wife Hilaria Baldwin came under fire after the internet began questioning the author’s podcast and Spanish heritage. Old videos appear of Hilaria Baldwin apparently speaking with a Spanish accent. She was born in Boston, MA, but grew up in Spain.
In an Instagram post, Hilaria Baldwin addressed those who questioned and challenged her identity, explaining that she and her husband ‘celebrate both cultures in our home’ by raising their children to be bilingual.
In the midst of the controversy the 30 Rock and Saturday Night Live actor defended his wife by posting an Instagram video in which he says “if you like someone, you want to defend them” and encouraged viewers to ‘consider the source’.
Twitter is like a party where everyone is screaming.
Not much of a party.
Goodbye for now.– AlecBaldwin (HABF) (@AlecBaldwin) 18 January 2021
