off the top Baldwin leaves twitter ‘Party’

Actor Alec Baldwin has temporarily left Twitter after his wife Hilaria found herself in a scandal surrounding her heritage. “Twitter is like a party where everyone is screaming. Not much of a party,” Alec tweeted Monday. “Goodbye for now.” Earlier in the day, he had retweeted some news articles and shared a quote from Martin Luther King Jr. Controversy over Hilaria rose when Twitter user Leni Briscoe questioned her fluctuating accent and past claim that she was born in Spain and raised in Boston. Hilaria then admitted on Instagram that she was actually born in Boston and that her real name is Hillary. Amid the controversy, Alec stood by his wife. “Twitter is just a vast orchard of crap, he said on Instagram at the time. “And I have certainly slung some crap in that orchard myself every now and then with things I’ve said ... I’m guilty of that as well.”
