Actress Emma Roberts denounces double standards when it comes to criticism of “nepo babies”, pointing out the fact that actors are not reminded that they had a career when someone close to them was famous before them, while we do it all the time for women.
For Emma Roberts, female “nepo babies” are more often the target of criticism than male “nepo babies”. The daughter of Eric Roberts, and niece of Julia Roberts, wants proof that no one ever criticizes George Clooney, even though he also had a known relative before making a career.
Interviewed this week for the “Table for Two” podcast, the actress said what she thought about this injustice. “Why doesn’t anyone criticize George Clooney for being a ‘nepo baby’? [Sa tante] Rosemary Clooney was an icon,” she said, recalling that George Clooney’s aunt was indeed a singing star.
The fact that George Clooney is not constantly told that his aunt was famous is, according to Emma Roberts, further blatant proof of the sexism that actresses have to face.
Stating that she has absolutely nothing to reproach George Clooney, the actress stressed that, generally speaking, it was not acceptable for anyone, man or woman, to be criticized for pursuing their dreams.
