Amy Schumer Trolls "Sociopath" Hilaria Baldwin Over Spanish Heritage Claims & "von Trapp Amount" of Kids

Amy Schumer is going in on Hilaria Baldwin.
The comedian poked fun at the controversy surrounding Hilaria, who has been accused of faking her Spanish accent and heritage, in her newly released Netflix special, Emergency Contact.
Sharing that she had met the Living Clearly Method author (born Hillary Thomas) and her husband, Alec Baldwin, backstage at Saturday Night Live years ago, Amy recalled how the mom-of-seven spoke with a very thick accent as she introduced herself as "Hilaria from España."
"This woman is in no way Spanish," Amy pointed out, referencing Hilaria's confirmation in 2020 that she was born in Boston. "Her parents are not from Spain. No one in her life is from Spain."
The Inside Amy Schumer alum went on to clarify that she was "not trying to bully a sociopath" by rehashing the scandal, but rather highlight how important it is to "find someone who can stand you."
"My point is that all evidence points to this woman, since she met her husband, has straight up pretended to be from Spain," Amy explained, before pointing out Alec's connection to the Rust shooting that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. "My point is that neither of them give a f--k."
Elsewhere in the special, the Trainwreck star joked about the "von Trapp amount of children" the couple have together. (Hilaria and Alec share kids Carmen, 9, Rafael, 7, Leonardo, 6, Romeo, 5, Eduardo, 2, María Lucía, 2 and Ilaria, 8 months.)
"And they named them all...very Spanish names," Amy noted. "And all of this would be fine and beautiful, except that 'Hilaria from España' is actually Hillary from Boston."
This was not the first time Amy weighed in on Hilaria's Spanish heritage controversy. Back in December 2020, when allegations that Hilaria had lied about being from Spain first surfaced, the I Feel Pretty actress wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post, "I get it. I went to Spain a couple times and loved it too."
A month later, Amy joked that Hilaria "is probably the only person who is happy about the insurrection in the Capitol" because it "distracted" people from the scandal. "She is amazing and I wish her and her family the best," she told Entertainment Tonight in January 2021. "And I hope she gets to visit Spain as much as she wants."
For her part, Hilaria—who had spent her childhood splitting time between the U.S. and Spain—has addressed chatter around her heritage multiple times.
"There's nothing wrong with me," she said in a December 2020 Instagram video, "and I'm not going to apologize for the amount of time that I spent in two countries and I'm not going to apologize for the fact that I speak two languages and I'm not going to apologize for the fact that I have two versions of my name."
In a New York Times profile published that same month, the Witches Anonymous podcast host maintained that she never misled the public about her background. "The things I have shared about myself are very clear," she said. "I was born in Boston. I spent time in Boston and in Spain. My family now lives in Spain."
She added, "Home is where my parents are going to be. If my parents move to China, I am going to go to China and say, ‘I'm going home.'"
