00:00 Is Lainey Wilson's accent fake?
00:01 The country star sets the record straight.
00:03 Here has been a long heated debate among country music fans
00:06 as to whether Lainey Wilson's distinct accent is authentic.
00:10 Some states completely fabricated,
00:12 others think it's exaggerated,
00:13 but what's the real story
00:15 and why would Lainey want to fake her accent anyway?
00:17 Lainey's accent is definitely unique.
00:19 It sounds country or Southern,
00:21 but doesn't exactly fit the mold
00:22 for a classic small town Southern accent.
00:25 However, there is a reasonable explanation
00:27 as to why Lainey sounds the way she does.
00:29 Lainey is from a small town
00:30 in Northern Louisiana called Baskin.
00:32 Anyone who's ever visited the town
00:34 or who's from there knows that just about everyone in Baskin
00:36 sounds very similar to Lainey.
00:38 Though she doesn't live in Baskin anymore,
00:40 she keeps in regular contact
00:41 with her family and friends there,
00:43 which explains why her accent hasn't changed.
00:45 In a 2022 interview with the Associated Press,
00:48 Lainey discussed the rumors.
00:49 She said, "I've had a lot of folks,
00:51 not necessarily in the industry, but just in general,
00:54 comment on social media and stuff
00:56 and say there's no way that she really talks like that."
00:58 Well, let me just dial up my mama and my daddy
01:01 and my granny and everybody else
01:02 and let you have a conversation with them.
01:04 Then you'll realize that what you see is what you get.
01:06 The way that I talk is the way that I sing,
01:08 like it or lump it.
01:09 The haters can say anything to me.
01:11 They can say, "You're ugly, you can't sing."
01:14 But when they start talking about my accent,
01:16 oh, it makes me mad
01:17 because then I start thinking
01:18 that you're talking about my family.
01:20 During a recent appearance on the Bobby Bones Show,
01:22 she discussed her feelings toward the matter again.
01:24 That's why I don't look at the comments anymore
01:26 'cause when they start talking about my accent,
01:28 I start feeling like they're talking about my family
01:31 and I'm ready to fight, she said.
01:32 "I love her accent.
01:33 She is so real and ignore them, Lainey.
01:36 I have a strong Southern accent.
01:38 Also, I think people are jealous,"
01:40 fans wrote in support of Lainey.
01:41 Wilson also said on the podcast
01:43 that it'd be hard to keep up with a fake accent all the time
01:46 and she hopes that in 30 years
01:47 when her accent sounds the same,
01:49 people will stop asking her whether it's real or not.
01:51 According to Yahoo, Lainey is from Baskin, Louisiana,
01:54 where everyone supposedly has the exact same twang
01:57 as she does.
01:58 Yes, some may note that Wilson
01:59 is not a regular in Baskin anymore.
02:01 At the same time, she still speaks to her family
02:04 and friends there on a regular basis.
02:05 She actually talked about the rumors
02:07 that she was exaggerating her accent back in 2022.
02:10 Lainey told the Associated Press this,
02:12 "I have had a lot of folks, not necessarily in the industry,
02:15 but just in general, comment on social media and stuff
02:18 and say there's no way that she really talks like that.
02:20 Well, let me just dial up my mama and my daddy
02:23 and my granny and everybody else
02:24 and let you have a conversation with them.
02:26 Then you'll realize that what you see is what you get.
02:28 The way that I talk is the way that I sing,
02:30 like it or lump it.
02:31 The haters can say anything to me.
02:33 They can say, 'You're ugly, you can't sing.'
02:35 But when they start talking about my accent,
02:37 oh, it makes me mad because then I start thinking
02:40 that you're talking about my family."
02:41 After talking about it once and setting everyone straight,
02:44 one would think the gossip would have stopped.
02:46 Sadly, people are still thinking
02:48 that Lainey Wilson's accent is not real.
02:50 She spoke out on the Bobby Bones show a short while ago
02:53 and noted she has to not look at what people say.
02:55 When she does that, it makes her want to throw down
02:58 as she feels like people are talking about her family
03:00 and that is not cool.
03:01 Fortunately, fans have sent their love and support to her
03:04 so that is all that matters.
