Hilaria Baldwin showed up for a coffee run on Saturday morning when she was teased on social media for using her “wrong” Spanish accent while distracting reporters on Friday to allow her husband Alec to escape their Greenwich Village apartment block.
Baldwin was seen in jeans and a turtleneck, clutching coffee cups from the Madman Espresso store on University Place as she walked with another woman.
On Friday, she told reporters she would be speaking with them after it was revealed that Alec will be charged with manslaughter in the 2021 shooting of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
“On a human level, you know I’m not going to tell you anything. You know that. So please leave my family alone and let this all take its course. OK?” Hilaria, with her newborn strapped to her chest, told the assembled journalists.
When she then told the journalists to “go home,” Alec snuck out and was later seen smiling as he tried to hide his face as he entered the Film Center Building on Ninth Avenue.

Hilaria was later blasted online for the slight Spanish accent she sometimes uses during her bait-and-switch with the press. In 2020, her true heritage was revealed to be Massachusetts native Hillary Thomas — rather than a native of Spain, as her husband once claimed.
“She sounds authentic as you say,” one snorted, while another mused, “It never ceases to be funny for a white girl from Boston to pretend to be Hispanic.”
“This is one of the longest-running LARP characters in history,” said another tweet, referring to live-action role-playing games where players dress up with props and play roles.

Hilaria refused to answer any questions on Saturday as she came and went, once carrying her infant daughter and pushing another of the couple’s seven children in a stroller.
A local worker said she felt sorry for Alec Baldwin.
Massiel Pimentel, who works at Joey Healy Eyebrow Studio on University Place, where Hilaria is a customer, said she recently saw the actor at a local bagel shop and wanted to confront him. She claimed he stole an $80 fare from her cousin, a taxi driver in Puerto Rico.
“But I saw him and he looked so bad. I guess this whole situation is really taking a toll on him, so when I saw him I was like, ‘Let me just leave him alone.’ Because he looks really bad,” she said.
Speaking on FaceTime from Puerto Rico, her cousin confirmed he wasn’t paid by the actor but said the incident happened 10 years ago and he didn’t want to make it difficult for him.
“He’s in enough trouble with everything that’s going on,” he said. “Karma gets you.”
