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 Carmen, 11, Rafael, 10 Leonardo, 8, Romeo, 7, Eduardo, 4, María Lucía, 4, and Ilaria, 2, 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.
