The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley defended exposed culture vulture Hillary 'Hilaria' Baldwin on Saturday following her Spanish scandal.

'I feel bad for what she's going through at the moment. I don't think she deserves it. I've had so much scrutiny over the way I speak,' the 44-year-old Beverly Beach designer - who boasts 1.1M social media followers - wrote via Instastory.

'I've learned to ignore all the noise but at first it was really hurtful. I'm sure all of this backlash has been hard on her. I don't know her but I've followed her for years and I hope she's back on social media soon.

'I would love to see less trolling and bullying on social media in 2021. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.'

The 36-year-old influencer has yet to apologize or admit any fault over the public's perception that she was born and raised in Majorca after a Twitter thread from Leni Briscoe went viral.

Hillary has since clarified she was born and raised in Boston's posh Beacon Hill district to parents (who moved to Spain in 2011) with deep roots in the United States.

Baldwin even went as far as to blame her agency CAA and ¡Hola! magazine for mistakenly referring to her as Spanish in an interview with the New York Times last Wednesday.

'Home is where my parents are going to be,' the Mom Brain podcaster bizarrely explained. 'If my parents move to China, I am going to go to China and say, "I'm going home."'

But as far back as 2011, Hillary perpetuated her fictional heritage by tweeting that she was a 'Spanish yoga teacher.'

As recent as two months ago, Baldwin's husband Alec told Aaron and Rohit's Hopeless Show 'my wife is from Spain' and he said the same on Late Show with David Letterman in 2013.

The defiant NYU alum and the 62-year-old Oscar nominee are now laying low in their 18th-century farmhouse in East Hampton with their five children and two nannies.

Meanwhile, Connecticut-born Dorit has been blasted for years for affecting an English accent - blaming the influence of her British husband Paul aka 'PK.'

'I think the way I speak is probably a combination of many things. First and foremost, I am married to a Brit who's got a very, very strong London accent,' Kemsley told Bravo's Daily Dish in 2017.

'And I'm sure some of his inflections have sort of rolled over on me. My parents are not American. I was born and raised in America. I did spend a significant amount of time, nearly 10 years, back and forth going to Europe.'

Next month, Dorit and the 53-year-old Nixxi Entertainment CEO will celebrate the seventh birthday of their son Jagger and fifth birthday of their daughter Phoenix - followed by their sixth wedding anniversary in March.

CAN'T KEEP TRACK OF HER OWN STORY: HILARIA'S LATEST CONTRADICTIONS 

How she met Alec: 

Hilaria claimed that she told husband Alec from the off that she was from Boston despite his now infamous 2013 Letterman interview in which he claimed she is Spanish. 

'My wife is from Spain,' the 62-year-old had said. 

'I walked by him,' Hilaria told the Times of meeting Alec in a vegan restaurant in 2011. 

'He said, "Where are you from?" And I said, "I’m from Boston." That was the first thing I said, that has always been my narrative.'

Yet, two years later, Alec was on Letterman saying she was from Spain, which she did not give an explaination for. 

Why her Spanish accent changes: 

Hilaria says that despite being raised in Boston, she speaks in English with a Spanish accent depending on her emotions at the time.  

The Today Show incident:

The 36-year-old also claimed she was confused about the word for cucumber on the 'Today Show' because she was nervous to be on live TV for one of the first times. 

Yet she is clearly heard asking for the word in English. 

How much time she has spent in Spain:

Hilaria now says that she was born in Boston but started to visit Spain annually as a baby, implying she only vacationed in the country. 

She has previously only spoken about the Spanish island Mallorca where her parents and older brother like but not claims to have spent most of their family vacation time on mainland Spain in Madrid, Seville and Valencia. 

She told the Times that Spain 'was part of my childhood' but could not say how much time she had spent there in total.  

Claim she went to school in Spain:  

'Sometimes there was school involved. Sometimes it was vacation. It was such a mix, mishmash, is that the right word? Like a mix of different things.'

In the interview, Hilaria suggested that she went to school in Spain but there is not evidence of this.  

Her move to NYC: 

The story she told the New York Times leaves ambiguity on whether she moved to New York from Spain as she has previously said or whether she moved from another part of the US. 

'I was born in Boston. I spent time in Boston and in Spain. My family now lives in Spain. I moved to New York when I was 19 years old and I have lived here ever since,' she told the Times.

'For me, I feel like I have spent 10 years sharing that story over and over again. And now it seems like it's not enough.'

Yet Hilaria had previously said she moved from Spain.   

Profiles stating she was born in Spain: 

Hilaria alleges that she did not know that magazine ¡Hola! had written that she is Spanish as she does not read pieces about herself. 

And claims that talent organization Creative Artists Agency must have pulled their bio that states she was born in Mallorca, Spain, from the internet without fact checking.
