Emma Roberts has recently shared her thoughts on “nepo baby” criticism.
During an appearance on the latest episode of Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi podcast, Emma, who is the daughter of Eric Roberts and niece of Julia Roberts, believed that women face more backlash than men in Hollywood.
“I feel like young girls get it harder with the nepo baby thing,” said the 33-year-old.
Emma stated, “I don’t really see people calling out sons of famous actors – not that they should be called out.”
“I don’t think anyone should be called out for wanting to follow their dream,” remarked the Wild Child star.
The Madame Web actress quipped, “I always joke, ‘Why is no one calling out George Clooney for being a nepo baby? [His aunt] Rosemary Clooney was an icon’.”
Emma explained, “That's the thing that I always talk about – people kind of only see your wins because they only see when you’re on the poster of a movie.”
The American Horror Story actress added, “They don’t see all the rejection along the way.”
Reflecting on her career, Emma mentioned, “I’m always very open about things I’ve auditioned for and haven’t gotten the part for.”
“I think it’s important to talk about – otherwise, people just think everything’s been so great and linear and easy, and no, it’s not at all. But of course, it looks like that to the outside perspective or to the naked eye,” she added.
