‘Glee’ Star Dianna Agron Faces Backlash Over New Accent

Dianna Agron, best known for her role as Quinn Fabray on Glee, has drawn significant attention and mixed reactions for her newly adopted transatlantic or mid-Atlantic accent showcased in a recent Vanity Fair interview. Many fans and social media users expressed confusion and compared her accent shift to that of Hilaria Baldwin, who famously has a fluctuating Spanish accent despite her American upbringing. While Agron was raised in the United States, some speculate that her relationship with Belgian painter Harold Ancart, with whom she has been linked since 2022, may have influenced her accent change. Supporters argue that adopting local accents is natural and note that Agron's extensive time living in hotels during her childhood and adult life in New York City might have contributed to her evolving speech patterns. Despite the backlash and humorous critiques likening her to celebrities like Madonna and Meghan Markle, others defend her choice and emphasize the normalcy of accent shifts due to environment and relationships. Agron's representatives have yet to comment on the public's reaction to her new voice.
