“#Woman Who Exposed Hilaria Baldwin Speaks Out: ‘It’s Offensive & Wrong’
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nFeel bad about Hilaria Baldwin<\/strong>\u2019s collapse? The woman who exposed her on Twitter<\/a><\/strong> sure doesn\u2019t!<\/p>\n

The owner of the handle @lenibriscoe<\/strong> spoke to DailyMail.com<\/em><\/a> about her viral tweet that sparked the discussion on the influencer\u2019s alleged Spanish heritage grift, telling the publication that Alec Baldwin<\/strong>\u2019s wife should \u201cown what she did.\u201d<\/p>\n

As we reported, the 36-year-old yoga instructor tried to defend herself following the backlash, telling the New York Times<\/em>\u00a0 she did nothing wrong \u2014 but Briscoe said Hilaria is \u201coffensive and wrong\u201d to falsely claim she was from Spain because she was taking opportunities away from people who actually have Spanish roots.<\/p>\n

The woman \u2014 who asked to remain anonymous, but revealed that she\u2019s white and went to Vassar<\/strong> college in New York \u2014 said she had little regrets about tweeting on December 21 out of boredom:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to admire Hilaria Baldwin\u2019s commitment to her decade long grift where she impersonates a Spanish person.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The tweet ignited a social media frenzy, causing swarms of critics to post examples of Hilaria using a Spanish accent while others pointed out that she was born and raised in Boston to white parents (pictured above) whose families had lived in New England for generations. Some even claimed they knew her when she was in school \u2014 and still a rich white girl named Hillary who had no trace of an accent.<\/p>\n

While all the information was out there, it just needed one good shove to get over the tipping point and go viral. Enter the \u201cgrift\u201d tweet.<\/p>\n

Briscoe, who lives in New York, said there wasn\u2019t one particular thing that the mother-of-five did that made her share the tweet, but suggested Hilaria\u2019s persona needed to be exposed in general<\/a>. She explained that \u201cmy friends have taken her yoga class in New York and her accent has been really consistent (Spanish),\u201d adding:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s offensive and wrong to pretend you\u2019re an immigrant and that you speak English as a second language and app<\/a>ropriate the actual experience that actual immigrant women have. That\u2019s not what happened. She made a post saying people at the park think she\u2019s the nanny because her kids are blonde and have blue eyes. That is something that happens to moms of color who actually have an accent.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She\u2019s certainly not wrong there! The New Yorker continued:<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s offensive, these are hard experiences that people actually have and she pretended. It\u2019s not really necessary. She could be a hot white influencer. Plenty of people do that\u2026 When I started I didn\u2019t realize she\u2019d been impersonating a [Spaniard] and other people found articles where she talked about [Spanish] culture. That makes it worse to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Another reason Briscoe fired off the tweet? Pure boredom. She explained:<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople were asking me don\u2019t you have anything better to do and the answer is: no I don\u2019t. It\u2019s a pandemic, it\u2019s cold outside and I don\u2019t celebrate Christmas. If I were that rich I\u2019d have something better to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

LOLz!<\/p>\n

Still, Briscoe thought \u201cnothing that much\u201d would come from the tweet, assuming that \u201cmaybe people would talk about it on Twitter and it would be funny.\u201d But as fate would have it, the tweet went viral \u2014 so much that the media started reporting on it. She recalled:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first couple of articles on NBC were very pro Hillary, like Hilaria fires back, just the tone seemed very corporate synergy given Alec Baldwin is on (NBC show) 30 Rock<\/em>. When it got bigger I thought it was embarrassing for the Baldwins.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Over the weekend, Hilaria and Alec each filmed their own response videos; she admitted to being a \u201cwhite girl\u201d but blanched at the idea she was faking a whole culture.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Alec compared Briscoe to a used bar coaster. In response, Briscoe fired back on Twitter:<\/p>\n

\u201cDid Alec Baldwin just call me basura (trash) and compare me to QAnon sir this is not that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Unsurprisingly, all the drama has made Briscoe a public target as well, with users berating her with hateful messages on social media. She said:<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people said I did it because I\u2019m jealous and uglier. I don\u2019t care if I\u2019m uglier. It seems like a lot of work to look like her.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And while she would likely post the tweet again, Briscoe admitted she \u201cfeels some responsibility\u201d for the anti-Hilaria commentary getting out of control, sharing:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this case it was funny but social media can be really cruel and harmful when there\u2019s a pile on when someone does something that people don\u2019t like. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s great. In this case people were saying some cruel and unnecessary things. That bothered me. There are so many things you could criticize Hillary Baldwin for, it\u2019s not necessary to make fun of how many kids she has, that was really offensive to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Agreed. Anyone just using this as an excuse to bully and not legitimately call out wrongdoing is pretty nasty\u2026 and sadly par for the course online. The Twitter user mused:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt reminded me of when people make fun of Melania Trump<\/strong> for modeling nude. Who cares? That\u2019s not hurting anyone. She\u2019s done other things that you can make fun of. There are elements of misogyny that come in but it\u2019s important to call people out when they are doing things that are harmful which I think this was.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As for what the critic would say to Hilaria if she had the chance (she said she wouldn\u2019t be in a room with Alec, referencing his violent past)?<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I could talk to Hilaria on her own, I would say she should say sorry to all the immigrants and English second language learners and moms of color who are actually mistaken for their children\u2019s nannies. She should own what she did.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In other words, Hilaria should admit she lied about her heritage. But based on what we\u2019ve been reporting, we don\u2019t think that\u2019s gonna happen anytime soon. If anything, she\u2019s reached the stage of blaming everyone else for just getting confused. Right\u2026<\/p>\n
