Emma Roberts slams sexism around Hollywood's nepo baby backlash: 'Why is no one calling out George Clooney?'
Fox News
Julia Roberts' niece and fellow actress Emma Roberts is calling out the sexism behind the nepotism conversation, asking why men aren't as scrutinized as women with famous families.
"I think there's two sides of the coin, you know. People like to say, 'You have a leg up because you have family in the industry,' but then the other side to that is, you know, you have to prove yourself more," she explained. "Also, if people don't have [a] good experience maybe with other people in your family, then you'll never get the chance." "I always joke, I'm like, ‘Why is no one calling out George Clooney for being a nepo baby? Rosemary Clooney was an icon.'" Caroline Thayer is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
