Emma Roberts, the niece of actress Julia Roberts, opened up about the downfalls of being born into a famous family during an interview with Flaunt magazine earlier this week.
Roberts was excluded by New York Magazine amid their explosive “Nepo Baby” discourse.
“Should I be offended?” She laughs when asked about it. “It was a cheap shot to put all the celebrity kids on the cover of a magazine on babies’ bodies. It’s like maybe the ‘Nepo Baby’ conversation would’ve been a more interesting article written intelligently in Vanity Fair with nuance, but instead, it was kind of this viral hating-on-people thing.”
So are there no professional benefits from famous family ties?
“I’ve lost more jobs than I’ve gained from being in the business,” Roberts says. “People have opinions and sometimes maybe they’re not good opinions of people in your family. I’ve never gotten a job because of it, I know I definitely have lost a couple of jobs because of it.”
