BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: Hilaria Baldwin is making headlines amid rumors of her potential involvement in 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' (RHOBH). The 40-year-old yoga instructor, who resides in New York with her husband, Oscar-nominated actor Alec Baldwin, was seen in Los Angeles with their seven children. Sources indicate that she met with executives from the Bravo reality show during her visit to LA.

Reports suggest that there is interest in having Hilaria join the cast of RHOBH, and one of the current stars of the show is reportedly advocating for her inclusion. When asked about potential replacements for recently dismissed cast member Annemarie Wiley, Kyle Richards hinted at Hilaria, suggesting that she might consider relocating for the opportunity. While Hilaria currently resides in New York, there is speculation that she could potentially make the move to Los Angeles for the show.

However, fans of the show have expressed their disapproval of this potential decision. Viewers of the show went as far as sharing how they'd stop watching the show if Hilaria joins the franchise. "I've been looking for a reason to stop watching this show, this would definitely do it," said a user. "I hope this is a very lare April fools joke!" said another. "Where is the REAL part of real housewives??? Get a woman who is powerful and not a second Dorit," added one. 

Others attacked her for her fake accent, "Please no unless they drag her for her fake accent." "Will never watch again," said one. "Absolutely not I would not watch," said another. 

Hilaria Baldwin accused of having ‘daddy issues’

Hilaria Baldwin responded to criticism about the 26-year age gap between her and her husband Alec Baldwin. She emphasized that their relationship dynamics are not defined by age, stating that sometimes she takes on a maternal role for Alec despite their age difference. Hilaria, who is 39 years old, met Alec, who is 65, in 2011 when she was 27 and he was 52. They quickly became engaged and married just over a year after meeting.

Contrary to accusations of having "daddy issues" due to the age gap with her husband Alec, Hilaria emphasized that their relationship is multifaceted. She stated that sometimes she takes on a maternal role, referring to herself as "mommy" to Alec, according to Romper

Why was Hilaria Baldwin called an ‘identity hoaxer’? 

Hilaria Baldwin was labeled an "identity hoaxer" by The Atlantic in March 2021 due to allegations and controversies surrounding her public presentation of her ethnic background and identity. The term "identity hoaxer" implies that someone has misrepresented or fabricated aspects of their identity for personal gain or to create a false impression.

The controversy surrounding Hilaria Baldwin stemmed from discrepancies and contradictions in her portrayal of her cultural and ethnic background. While Baldwin had presented herself as having a Spanish heritage, including claiming to have been born and raised in Spain, several inconsistencies emerged that led to skepticism and criticism.

One major point of contention was Baldwin's use of a Spanish accent and her claims of being bilingual. Many people questioned the authenticity of her accent, especially considering her upbringing in the United States and lack of formal education in Spain. Additionally, there were discrepancies in her statements regarding her time spent in Spain versus Massachusetts during her childhood.

Furthermore, Baldwin's inability to recall basic English words during television appearances, such as forgetting the word "cucumber" on The Today Show, raised eyebrows and led to speculation about the authenticity of her claims.
