Emma Roberts calls out gender bias

Emma Roberts is sick of hearing the same old sexist talk about nepotism in Hollywood. According to a report, the actor discussed her views on the ongoing controversy surrounding nepo baby rumours and labelled it as gendered when she participated on the Table for Two podcast. She said that criticism of guys like George Clooney should be levelled on the same basis.
During the conversation, Emma talked about the nepo baby debate and said, “There’s two sides to the coin. People like to say, You know, you have a leg up because you have family in the industry. But then, on the other side of that, 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.”
“Everybody loves this kind of overnight success story. And so if you’re kind of not the girl from the middle of nowhere that broke into Hollywood, there’s kind of an eye roll of like, ‘Well, your dad was this.’ I always joke, ‘Why is no one calling out George Clooney for being a nepo baby? [His aunt] Rosemary Clooney was an icon.’ I feel like young girls get it harder with the nepo baby thing. I don’t really see people calling out the sons of famous actors, not that they should be called out.”
In addition to being a well-known actor, George Clooney has directed and produced several Hollywood productions. He made his television acting debut in the late 1970s and went on to star in movies including Ocean’s 11, Out of Sight, Three Kings, The Perfect Storm, O Brother, Where Art Thou? and The Descendants.
