Amy Schumer has hit out at 'sociopath' Hilaria Baldwin for faking her Spanish heritage.
The comedian went in on the 39-year-old, who is married to Hollywood A-lister, Alec Baldwin, over her 'pretend' Spanish roots.
Schumer didn't hold back and addressed the whole ordeal in her latest stand-up special for Netflix, Amy Schumer: Emergency Contact which premiered yesterday (13 June).

In the newly-released show, Schumer gets cheekily candid about lasering her face, postpartum sex, her baby-naming disaster and chewable Viagra.
Talk about range.
Elsewhere in the programme, the 42-year-old begins to speak about Baldwin, asking the audience if they know who she is, while pronouncing her name in a Spanish accent.
Baldwin, who is also a yoga instructor, has been accused now for a quite some time of impersonating 'a Spanish person', with one Twitter user first calling her out two years ago.
The mother-of-seven later addressed the claims on her own social media to which she told her followers that, while she was born in Boston, she 'grew up spending time with [her] family between Massachusetts and Spain'.
Schumer began her roast by recalling the moment she first met Baldwin 'years ago', whilst the pair were backstage at Saturday Night Live.
The comedian claimed that when Baldwin introduced herself to Schumer, she did so with a 'very thick Spanish accent'.
"I’m Hilaria, from España," said Schumer, mimicking the allegedly fake accent.
Schumer then went on to reference the Baldwin family - namely their very apparently Spanish-sounding names.
She said: "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."
The Trainwreck star continued: "And all of this would be fine and beautiful, except that ‘Hilaria from España’ is actually Hillary from Boston."
The couple in question share seven children; Carmen, nine; Rafael, seven; Leonardo, six; Romeo, four; Eduardo, two; Lucia, two; and Ilaria, who is just seven months.
And it didn't stop there, as Schumer went on to highlight: "This woman is in no way Spanish. Her parents are not from Spain. No one in her life is from Spain."
Explaining that she was not 'trying to bully a sociopath', Schumer later suggested that Baldwin’s 'Spanish' accent could have developed after she visited Spain.
She said: "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, f***ing LOOOVED it."
Neatly wrapping up the segment, Schumer resolved: "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.
"My point is, neither of them give a f*** find someone who can stand you."
The stand-up special, Amy Schumer: Emergency Contact, is currently available to stream on Netflix.
