Amy Schumer MOCKS nemesis Hilaria Baldwin in shock gesture after star ‘slammed’ comedian in memoir

Amy Schumer made a apparent thinly-veiled dig at nemesis Hilaria Baldwin as she stepped out in New York City this week.

The drama ramped up Baldwin, 41, furiously denounced an unnamed celebrity in her new memoir – and many readers suspect she may be discussing Schumer.

Schumer was scathing about Hilaria in a 2023 comedy special, calling her a ‘sociopath’ and mocking her for pretending to be from Spain.

After Baldwin was mocked on social media for seemingly showing off her new memoir in paparazzi shots, Schumer recreated the pose as she arrived at the Comedy Vs Cancer event at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer.

A slimline Schumer, 42, who had admitted to taking diabetes and weight loss drug Mounjaro, enthusiastically pointed at a copy of The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt.

The star showed off her figure in a black bodycon dress and heels.

After she was papped holding the book – Manual Not Included – in a bizarre position, Baldwin took to Instagram to deny she had been plugging the tome for photographers.

She said: ‘I was on my way to a signing and they always tell me to bring at least one copy of the book with me. 

‘I wasn’t trying to hold my book in a particular way… this was not about my book!’

Schumer sparked drama in 2023 with the yoga teacher and her husband Alec Baldwin for having ‘a von Trapp amount of children, and they named them all – I’m not sure, but very Spanish names like Jamón, Croqueta and Flamenco.’

Now in her new book Manual Not Included, Hilaria, who has seven children, has blasted a nameless ‘famous person’ for discussing her and her family in a ‘show.’

Accusing the celebrity of saying ‘nasty and untrue things’ about her, Hilaria said she became ‘sick with stress’ when she first heard the news that she and her family would be a target of jokes in the special.

Hilaria also said that the unnamed celebrity made ‘derogatory remarks’ about her children, and that at one point after the special dropped ‘I found one of my boys crying in bed, asking why this woman was making fun of him.’ 

Since tying the knot in 2012, Alec and Hilaria have welcomed seven children – which is in fact the exact number of Von Trapp progeny in The Sound Of Music.

All seven children have indeed been given Spanish names, Carmen, 11, Rafael, nine, Leonardo, eight, Romeo, six, Eduardo, four, María, four, and Ilaria, two.

In her new book, Hilaria accused the celebrity many readers think is Amy of discussing her in a show,’ saying she ‘even tried to bait me and Alec via Instagram.’

She claimed she and Alec ‘didn’t engage with her and I guess I am proud of that,’ adding that the situation ‘made me mad at the system.’

Hilaria continued: ‘I don’t need to use her name and I don’t want any problems with her, and I would like to be left out of any articles that mention her, because she has nothing to do with me. A total stranger.’

She recalled being ‘sick with stress’ upon hearing that a comedy special would come out in which she and her family would be mocked.

On the day of the show’s release, Hilaria went for a run but fell down because she was so preoccupied, and was left crying and bleeding from her leg.

Hilaria wrote in her memoir that the special ‘gutted me because I couldn’t understand how someone could be so inherently cruel.’

However she maintained that ‘I don’t need an apology’ from the mystery star, witheringly stating: ‘No matter what, I hope I never meet her.’

In her 2023 Netflix special Emergency Contact, Amy claimed to have met Hilaria ‘years ago’ backstage at Saturday Night Live, where she allegedly spoke with a ‘very thick Spanish accent’ and described herself as being ‘from España.’

Amy joked: ‘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. 

She continued: ‘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?’

Amy added: ‘So, I’m not trying to bully a sociopath. I have a point, OK? 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!’

She went on: ‘My point is that all evidence points to this woman, since she met her husband, has straight up pretended to be from Spain.’

Amy then brought up the legal battle Alec was facing over the fatal shooting on the set of his western Rust in November 2021.

The saga culminated in a judge dismissing the involuntary manslaughter charges against Alec in connection with the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. 

Concluding her takedown of Hilaria, Amy vamped: ‘And her husband shot someone… find someone who can stand you.’

One week after the special bowed, an interview ran in which Hilaria said: ‘It is a ridiculous thing to be cruel to another person,’ via Romper.
