Alec Baldwin has once again deleted his Twitter account. Just hours after taking a subtle swipe at the buzz over Gillian Andersonโs accent switch at the 2021 Golden Globes, the former 30 Rock alum deleted his official account.
Prior to deactivating his page, the 62-year-old actor weighed in on peopleโs confusion over The Crown starโs native American accent. Retweeting an article about the issue, he made a subtle dig at the heritage controversy plaguing his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, by writing, โSwitching accents? That soundsโฆfascinating.โ

Well, the big difference is that Gillian Andersonโs British accent is actually very real and Hilaria Baldwinโs is actually very fake.
Baldwinโs wife Hilaria came under fire for her claims to Spanish heritage, with many pointing to her comes-and-goes Spanish accent as evidence that she was faking the whole thing.
Alecโs post came after many questioned Gillianโs American accent that she used when accepting her Best Supporting Actress in a TV Series trophy. Gillian, who was born in America but spent years living in London, was mostly seen speaking with a British accent on a number of TV series including Sex Education, Bleak House, and The Fall. Back in 2009, she talked about her ability to switch between American and British accents. To The Telegraph, she said, โEven on the phone, my accent will change.โ

โPart of me wishes I could control it, but I canโt,โ she pointed out. โI just slip into one or the other. When I moved to the States I tried hard to cling on to my British accent because it made me different.โ
After his Anderson tweet, Baldwin immediately got dragged and ended up deleting his Twitter account.
In the video, the โ30 Rockโ alum spoke to a camera while driving a car, which is justโฆ

โWanted to post a quick video to say that I deactivated my Twitter account today,โ he said. โI found myself writing a little mention โ I donโt want to drag other people into my debates or what have you โ but I noticed that someone said that this actress, who I wonโt mention, had switched accents during the press for her show.โ
Baldwin said that โyou canโt do any irony on Twitterโ or โin the United States anymore because the United States is such an uptight, stressed out place,โ so he chose not to comment on the post.

He explained that heโs a โhuge fanโ of the actress that he was speaking about and that his โcomment was meant to just illustrate the point that I find, as I said, that the multi-cultural expressions of anyone for that matter โ whatever country, language, music, food, clothing, art, any of it, whatever of those expressions are important to you โ thatโs your business.โ
The actor further slammed the social media app, saying itโs โwhere all the assholes in the United States and beyond go.โ
โYou canโt say anything dark enough to describe a lot of the crowd on Twitter,โ Baldwin continued.
