In her new book, "Manual Not Included," Baldwin opened up about the emotional toll of being the target of jokes that questioned her identity and heritage. 

Although the wife of Alec Baldwin did not mention Schumer's name, she wrote about a "famous person, someone I've never met, who said nasty and untrue things about me and my family" in excerpts obtained You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login.

Baldwin claimed in her book that an unnamed celebrity mentioned her and her family in a "show" and that "she even tried to bait me and Alec via Instagram."

"We didn't engage with her and I guess I am proud of that," she penned. "It made me mad at the system, but here, in this book, is where I can talk about it. I don't need to use her name, and I don't want any problems with her..."

She continued to call her a "total stranger" and preferred to be "left out of any articles that mention her, because she has nothing to do with me..."

Baldwin revealed that the public scrutiny surrounding the scandal left her physically ill with stress. The mother-of-eight also claimed her kids were brought to tears over the controversial commentary. 

"It gutted me because I couldn't understand how someone could be so inherently cruel," she wrote. "I don't need an apology... No matter what, I hope I never meet her."

Schumer recalled meeting Hilaria "years ago" backstage at "Saturday Night Live." When Alec attempted to introduce his wife to the comedian, Schumer said, "I saw her and I said, 'No, thank you.'" 

She added, "I'm trying to hang on to my self-esteem, OK. She is a tiny Disney princess and I look like Ben Roethlisberger from most angles."

Schumer remembered Hilaria having a "very thick, Spanish accent, from Spain." 

"They have a von Trapp amount of children, and they named them all ― I'm not sure, but very Spanish names like Jamón, Croqueta and Flamenco, you know. And all of this would be fine and beautiful, except that 'Hilaria from España' is actually Hillary from Boston."

The Baldwins share eight small children together – Carmen, 11, Rafael, 9, Leonardo, 8, Romeo, 6, Eduardo, 4, María Lucía, 4, and Ilaria, 2. The couple welcomed María Lucía via surrogacy five months after the birth of Eduardo. Hilaria chose to do surrogacy after she miscarried one embryo following in vitro fertilization.

Baldwin claimed she was born in Mallorca and raised in Boston. She said on a podcast in April 2020 that she moved to the U.S. when she was 19 years old to attend NYU.

She has since apologized for the confusion and admitted in an Instagram post at the time that "culture, languages, sexual orientations, religions [and] political beliefs" are "allow[ed] to be fluid."

Meanwhile, Schumer criticized Baldwin in her comedy special, saying, "My point is that all evidence points to this woman, since she met her husband, has straight up pretended to be from Spain. And her husband shot someone ... now stay with me."
