Salma, who famously worked with Hilaria's husband, Alec Baldwin, on comedy series 30 Rock, continued: “We all lie a little bit. She makes my friend happy. She's a good... she fooled me because she's such a good mother and she has five of them.

"And you know, I don't care. She, I'm sorry. I know I don’t mean to betray or hurt anybody's feelings. And I don't know if it's right or if it's wrong and I don't, I'm not gonna judge somebody just because of that one thing.

"And I think, I feel honor that somebody wants to be, their alter ego it's to be like something that is similar to my roots. It makes me feel proud that people are inspired because you know, I am Mexican Lebanese, but my grandparents, my ancestors on my mother's side are Spanish."
