In a recent interview with Flaunt magazine, Emma Roberts talked about her career, movies, personal life, and more. During her candid chat with the outlet, Roberts also shared her views on nepotism and how it has affected her journey in the Hollywood film industry. The actress said that contrary to what some might think, being from a famous family hasn't given her an advantage in getting jobs.

The outlet asked whether having famous family connections helped her in her professional career, to which the actress replied, “I’ve lost more jobs than I’ve gained from being in the business." 


Roberts continued, “People have opinions, and sometimes maybe they’re not good opinions of people in your family," noting that she has never "gotten a job" because of it but has definitely "lost a couple of jobs because of it.”
