The 'Holidate' actress, whose father is Eric Roberts and aunt is Julia Roberts, previously admitted that she has faced some challenges navigating the world of nepotism.

AceShowbiz - Emma Roberts might have a famous father and aunt, but it doesn't mean she couldn't make her own mark. In a new interview, the "Holidate" leading lady claimed she's never gotten a job from nepotism.

"I've lost more jobs than I've gained from being in the business," the 33-year-old told Flaunt Magazine. "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," Emma, whose father is Eric Roberts and aunt is Julia Roberts, added. "I know I definitely have lost a couple of jobs because of it."

Emma previously admitted that she has faced some challenges navigating the world of nepotism. She rejected the notion that fame is her ultimate goal, acknowledging the potential pitfalls it can bring.

"Fame has never been the goal," she said when speaking to Variety. "Because fame at a certain level is kind of scary... when you've seen fame like that up close and you see what that really does to people [and] their families."

Back in January, Emma shared her perspective on the "nepo baby" debate, bringing attention to the gender disparity in criticism directed at children of celebrities. Speaking on the "Table for Two" podcast, she said, "I always joke, 'Why is no one calling out George Clooney for being a nepo baby? [His aunt] Rosemary Clooney was an icon.' "

Emma, who made her acting debut at the age of nine in the movie "Blow", noted that gender plays a significant role in the nepo baby discussion. She observed that young girls face harsher criticism than their male counterparts. "I feel like young girls get it harder with the nepo baby thing. Like, I don't really see people calling out sons of famous actors," she added.
