Amy Schumer isn't letting us forget about Hilaria Baldwin's controversy — when a viral Twitter thread revealed all of the ways in which Alec Baldwin's wife had led people to believe she was from Spain when she's actually from Boston.
In Schumer's new Netflix stand-up special, "Emergency Contact," the comedian had no problem jokingly bringing up the mystery that made headlines back in 2020.
"Do you guys know who Hilaria Baldwin is?" Schumer slyly asks in the stand-up special around the 51-minute mark.
"I'm saying it wrong. I'm sorry," she adds before using a Spanish accent to complete her sentence: "Hilaria Baldwin. I just can't wrap my head around this story."
Schumer then recalled meeting Hilaria "years ago" when the two were backstage at NBC's "Saturday Night Live." The comedian claimed that Baldwin said she was "'from España,'" using "a very thick Spanish accent."
"They have a von Trapp amount of children," she jokingly continued, referencing "The Sound of Music," a film that centered on a family with seven children. (Alec and Hilaria Baldwin also have seven children.) "And they named them all ― I'm not sure, but very Spanish names like Jamón, Croqueta and Flamenco."
"And all of this would be fine and beautiful, except that 'Hilaria from España' is actually Hillary from Boston," Schumer deadpanned. "This woman is in no way Spanish. Her parents are not from Spain. No one in her life is from Spain. You're going, 'What?!'"
Schumer later said that she's "not trying to bully a sociopath. I have a point, OK?"
Insider reached out to Baldwin for comment on Schumer's latest stand-up special, but didn't immediately hear back.
Back in 2020, Baldwin tried to clear up her nationality and where she was raised in an Instagram video.
"I'm born in Boston, and then I spent some of my childhood in Boston, some of my childhood in Spain," she said in the video. "There was, like, a lot of back-and-forth my entire life, and I'm really lucky that I grew up speaking two languages, and I'm trying to raise my kids so that they speak two languages too."
Baldwin added that when she was "growing up in this country," or the US, she went by the name Hillary, but her "whole family" called her Hilaria.
On the same Instagram post, Alec commented and said: "You never claimed you were from Spain. You always maintained you were born here."
Still, the comment came after a 2013 David Letterman interview in which Alec publicly claimed that his wife was from Spain, Insider previously reported.
