Ireland Baldwin is defending Hilaria Baldwin.
The 29-year-old daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger posted a lengthy message to social media backing up her stepmom—who shares Carmen11, Rafael10 Leonardo8, Romeo7, Eduardo4, María Lucía4, and Ilaria2, with Alec—amid criticism of her online.
“I wanted to take a second to talk about my step mom @hilariabaldwin,” Ireland began her Sept. 4 Instagram post. “I think if people actually knew her the way I do, they would be quite surprised.”
“This post may come out of left field since I don’t post about her or any family members much,” she continued. “I expect misinformed comments and plenty of comments about me only playing nice so I can secure my inheritance. C’mon, people. I see the comments. I’m not getting an inheritance. I have 7 siblings.”
The model went on to map out some of the Dancing With the Stars hopeful’s characteristics that she also sees in herself.
