On Tuesday, 25 June, Emma Roberts made her appearance in the famous podcast show “Table For Two.” During the show, the actress was asked multiple questions about her career including whether becoming a “massive movie star” was a priority when she decided to go after her father’s footsteps, Eric Roberts, and her aunt, Julia Roberts. To which Emma replied that she did not always want to become an A-star actress since her aunt’s fame showcased to her how scary a popular actress life could be.
“I saw very up close what that looks like. It’s fun and it’s great, but there is a part of it that’s scary. So I’ve wanted to kind of carve my path. … Fame has never been the goal, because fame at a certain level is kind of scary” explained Robert.
Since Roberts is a close relative to two of the famous Hollywood actors, Eric Roberts and Julia Roberts, she has faced numerous nepotism allegations in her entertainment career.
The Paradise Hills actor went on to speak about nepotism in the podcast show and said, “There’s two sides of the coin. People like to say, you know, you have a leg up because you have family in the industry. But then the other side to that is, you have to prove yourself more. Also, if people don’t have good experiences with other people in your family, then you’ll never get a chance.”

In the same statement, Emma Roberts criticised several aspects of the internet’s nepotism statement, saying that while her father, Eric, was a Hollywood icon, she has her struggles too.
Lastly, the MTV Award actress concluded her statement by criticising the netizens who like trolling “nepo babies” by saying that they “only see your wins, because they only see when you’re on the poster of a movie — they don’t see all the rejection along the way. That’s why I’m always very open about things I’ve auditioned for and haven’t gotten the part for.”
On the work front, Emma Roberts has recently appeared in the superhero film, Madame Web, wherein she played Mary Parker. Additionally, two of her forthcoming films, Space Cadet and Saurus City, are in the post-production stage.
