Amy Schumer has definitely not held back in her new Netflix comedy special Emergency Contact, where she tells some controversial jokes that even the Oscars were too scared to air.
No topics were off-limits for the 42-year-old comedian, including the recent controversies surrounding Alec and Hilaria Baldwin.
One of the controversial comic's jokes was centered around the tragic Rust shooting, which saw cinematographer Halyna Hutchins fatally shot with a prop gun held by Baldwin, 65, on set in New Mexico in 2021.
Initially, Santa Fe prosecutors sought two involuntary manslaughter charges against the father-of-seven, however, it was reported in April that all criminal charges were dropped.
Two years ago, Schumer hosted the Oscars, but allegedly several of her jokes were banned from the evening. During her comedy special, she made mention of the joke, telling the audience: "Don't Look Up is the name of a movie? More like don't look down the barrel of Alec Baldwin's shotgun."
The mother-of-one then added: "I wasn't allowed to say any of that, but you can just come up and [slap] someone," in reference to the infamous moment when Will Smith stormed onto to stage and slapped Chris Rock across the face for making a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
But Alec wasn't the only Baldwin in focus during Schumer's special, oh no. In fact, anyone would be crazy to let his wife Hilaria's Spanish controversy slide. For those who are unaware, for years Hilaria appeared to feign a Spanish accent, leading people to believe that she was from Spain, even going as far as apparently forgetting the English word for 'cucumber' during a live cooking demonstration on TV.
Though, netizens later discovered in 2021 that Hilaria was actually born Hillary, and was not from Spain but from Boston. While her and her family often spent holidays in Spain each year, she's definitely not Hispanic in any sense of the word. The former yoga teacher had been lying for years about her Spanish heritage, with Schumer taking the opportunity to poke fun at the drama.
Amy Schumer roasts Hilaria Baldwin in her new stand up special:In fact, she told her audience in Emergency Contact that she'd met Hilaria "years ago" backstage at SNL where Hilaria told her she was '''from España,' pwith] a very thick Spanish accent.'
She continued making jokes about the couple, quipping: "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. And all of this would be fine and beautiful, except that 'Hilaria from España' is actually Hillary from Boston.
"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?!' Did you think I was just doing a really racist Spanish impression? So, I'm not trying to bully a sociopath. I have a point, OK?" Schumer continued.
"I think what had happened was she went to Spain. And I've been lucky enough to go to Spain. Some of you have been. It's great, right? Don't you love it? I loved it, too. But Hillary from Boston … loooved it! 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... find someone who can stand you," she added.
Alec and Hilaria share seven children - Carmen, nine, Rafael, seven, Leonardo, six, Romeo, five, Maria, two, Eduardo, two, and Ilaria, eight months. Baldwin also shares 27-year-old Ireland Baldwin with ex-wife Kim Basinger.
