Ireland Baldwin is following in her famous dad’s footsteps, taking to Twitter to blast her critics.


The 18-year-old daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger sparked outrage earlier in the week when she donned Native American regalia for a Halloween costume .

She proceeded to post a picture of the character, "Indian Chief" - or rather, caricature, from the 1953 animated classic "Peter Pan." ("This is who I was being for Halloween at Disneyland. You are all pathetic," she wrote.)


But the model then went further, revealing that she’s in fact part Native American herself in another tweet:

Baldwin’s controversial costume choice comes just after “Dancing With the Stars” alum Julianne Hough made waves for showing up to a Halloween party in blackface.


Hough later apologized for showing up as the character Crazy Eyes from Netflix’s “Orange Is the New Black,” a role played by African-American actress Uzo Aduba.


Baldwin's father deleted his own Twitter account in June after an angry rant over a Daily Mail reporter who alleged in an online article that his then-pregnant wife, Hilaria Baldwin, tweeted in the middle of actor James Gandolfini's funeral.
