Hilaria Baldwin Attributed Spanish Accent Mix-Ups To ADHD

“I’d sit on my bathroom floor, nursing my baby Edu at 3 a.m., and speak to my brother in Spain, and I’d cry to him, nauseous about it all,” Baldwin writes. “He’d try to lighten things up by saying, ‘Can we just stop for a second and talk about how nonsensical this is? You’re speaking to me in Spain, where I’ve lived for most of my life, in Spanish, about the validity of our connection to Spain. No one is really offended —it’s COVID, and they are home alone and bored, and there is so much misinformation.’”

People shares that in her book, Baldwin references a New York Times article about male soccer players’ accents switching up when they change teams in different countries or how sometimes they take on their teammates’ different accents. Baldwin reportedly suggests that she’s received backlash because she’s a woman.
