Emma Roberts reveals major career problems due to famous family ties

Emma Roberts made a surprising revelation about the consequences of being a “Nepo baby” in Hollywood.

In conversation with FlauntThe American Horror Story The star claimed she had “lost jobs” due to her connection to famous father Eric Roberts or her aunt Julia Roberts, refuting the contradictory narrative.

“I’ve lost more jobs than I’ve gained from being in the industry,” she told the outlet. “People have opinions and sometimes they may not be good opinions about people in the family. I’ve never gotten a job because of it, but I know I’ve definitely lost a few jobs because of it.”

The mother of one child had previously denounced the sexist double standards surrounding the “Nepo Baby” discussion and pointed out that people like George Clooney were not held accountable.

“I think there are two sides to the coin, you know. People like to say, ‘You have an advantage because you have family in the industry,’ but the other side of that is, you know, you have to prove yourself more,” Emma said during an appearance on Bruce Bozzi’s Table for two Podcast. “If people haven’t had good experiences, maybe with other people in your family, then you’ll never get the chance.

“I always joke, ‘Why doesn’t anyone tell George Clooney he’s a Nepo baby? (His aunt) Rosemary Clooney was an icon,'” the actress added.
