I believe that everyone knows who Julia Roberts is. Unless someone has been living under a
rock… But how much do you know about her niece, Emma? Did you know that her dad, Eric
Roberts claims that neither she nor her aunt, Julia, would have made it in Hollywood if
it wasn’t for him? Why is it so? Well, stay with us to find out, why Emma Roberts is an
example that sometimes children repeat their parents’ behavior. I mean look at her ex,
Evan Peters. You have no idea what I'm talking about? Then let’s get into this video and
find out! I obviously know who Julia Roberts is, and
maybe it’s not because I like how she acts, or how she looks, but because her filmography
is impressive. She’s played in more than fifty movies and has a long list of appearances
in various TV shows, which is not really surprising to anyone.
So I know her mainly for her movies and believe me when I say that before this video, I had
no idea who her niece Emma Roberts was. And I’m not here to judge anyone, so if you’re
like me, here’s some info about Emma’s background.
Her full name is Emma Rose Roberts, and she was born on February 10, 1991, in Rhinebeck,
NY, to Kelly Cunningham and Eric Roberts, Julia's brother.
However, not long after she was born, her parents split because of accusations of domestic
violence against her dad. In fact, after the abuse accusations came into the light, Julia's
brother publicly announced that he had a drug problem.
Aunt Julia showed her big heart after Emma's parents separated. Not only did she turn her
back on her abusive brother and took the side of her former sister-in-law, Kelly in the
fight for the custody of her niece. But she also bought a house so that both Emma and
Kelly could live in peace. That angered Eric so much that he cut ties not only with Julia
but also with his daughter. The award for the best dad definitely won’t be his.
Anyway, in 1992 Eric got married again, this time to Eliza Roberts. But only 3 years after
that, in 1995, he was arrested. Guess why?! Well, it turns out that he did his thing again.
And I'm not even going to talk about what he did to his wife because such terrible actions
do not deserve to be talked about. What is the most ridiculous and wrong thing,
is that this man avoided jail. Instead of getting his punishment behind bars he was
released on $50 thousand bail. Well, this case definitely isn’t an example of how
criminals should be punished! Anyway, the last thing about this man, is
that some time later, he said in an interview that neither his sister, Julia, nor his daughter,
Emma, would have been someone in the movie industry if it wasn’t for him. Alright,
whatever you say, Eric. Better let's move on to nicer things. And, contrary to what
Eric said, the truth is that Emma owes her interest in acting mainly to her aunt, Julia.
That’s because, despite the fact that Emma’s mother, Kelly, didn’t want her to become
an actress, when little Emma accompanied Julia to the movie sets, she couldn't help but feel
fascinated and really wanted to be like her aunt.
Because of that, after attending the “Archer School for Girls,” in LA, and then the “Sarah
Lawrence College,” she finally decided to drop out to fully focus on her career as an
actress. Thanks to her unquestioned talent and charisma she debuted on the screen when
she was just 10 years old, and she didn’t do it in just any movie!
Emma appeared in the movie "Blow" in 2001, alongside none other than Johnny Depp and
the beautiful Spanish actress, Penelope Cruz. If you’ve already seen this movie you will
know that it is far from being a production that is suitable for children. Well, the fact
that it’s Rated R says it all. For that reason, Emma's mother decided that her daughter
wouldn’t watch it until she turns 18. However, the director, Ted Demme, made a clean
version, almost in Disney style, so that little Emma could watch it. Isn’t that the sweetest
gesture?! But when did Emma Roberts' career really take
off? Her breakthrough came when she had the opportunity to appear in the Nickelodeon series,
"Unfabulous", in 2004. Her performance in that successful production, in addition to
bringing her international fame when she was just 13 years old, also brought her many awards
and nominations. Among them, she’s won a “Teen Choice” and a “Young Artist Award”.
Well, Unfabulous was so successful that, in 2005, Emma also tried her luck in the musical
field, when the production team of the Nickelodeon series released the album "Unfabulous and
More", and the actress wrote some of the songs and appeared in a few music videos.
Then in 2010 something that all the Julia and Emma Roberts fans had been waiting for
finally happened. That’s when Julia and Emma finally had the opportunity to share
a film set while working on the movie “Valentine’s Day”.
Unfortunately, for some it was a great disappointment. Not only because of the terrible reviews that
the film got but also because Julia and Emma shared only the movie set and they didn’t
have any scenes together. And now, we’ve arrived at the most important
point of the video which is the scandals. Well, let me tell you what I found out while
doing my research. So, it’s been rumored that Emma is to blame for the breakup between
the actors Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen. According to a lot of sources, in 2017 Bilson
found several text messages exchanged between her now ex-partner and Emma what led her to
believe that they were having an inappropriate relationship. Apparently, this is why Rachel
and Hayden split up after 10-years, despite having a daughter together.
Emma’s own relationships also don’t go very smoothly. Probably her most famous one
is the stormy and passionate love affair that she had with the actor Evan Peters which started
in 2012 and lasted until the beginning of 2019.
If you think I was exaggerating when I said that it was stormy, do you remember how at
the beginning I told you that Emma was an example that sometimes children follow their
parents’ behaviors? And, do you remember what her father did? Well, consciously or
not, the actress has similar issues to her dad.
But before I tell you about it let's briefly review how Emma’s relationship with Evan
Peters started. By the way, if you still aren’t familiar with who Evan is, or if you aren’t
a fan of the series "American Horror Story", this guy is the charismatic son of Magneto
- "Quicksilver" from the X-Men movies. Now that you know more about him, let me tell
you about the relationship. I’ve already told you that this pair of lovebirds started
dating in 2012, after they worked together on the film “Adult World”. But very soon
it became obvious that the thing would not end as well as the fans wanted it to because
almost immediately, the media started to report that the couple had arguments all the time.
Somehow they always managed to fix their differences and get back together.
However, as it often happens, what starts badly, ends badly. After Emma and Even were
seen arguing in public a few times, that stormy relationship finally ended in Montreal, Canada.
And after that, Emma wanted to hide everything by saying that it was nothing but a huge misunderstanding.
Well, if you don’t know what I'm talking about, let's go back to the part where I told
you that, consciously or unconsciously, Miss Roberts had the tendency to repeat some of
her dad's behavior patterns. This is all because in 2013 the guests of
the hotel where Emma and Evan were staying reported that the couple had a massive fight.
According to witnesses, Emma's behavior was rather wild and she allegedly left Evan with
bruises on his body and a bleeding nose. Despite all that, the actor apparently didn’t want
to press any charges. Do you see why I told you that their love
was passionate? Nah but seriously, the couple eventually fixed their problems and got engaged
in March 2014. From that moment on, it was a story of never ending breakups and getting
back together. But finally, earlier this year, they decided to end their toxic relationship
for good. Currently, according to many sources, Emma
is dating the actor Garrett Hedlund, and continues to star in the series "American Horror Story".
By the way, the series is already on its ninth season, and recently celebrated the 100th
episode with a massive Halloween party. And before we get to that and the drama that went
down during that party, I’m gonna tell you about Emma’s new man because their relationship
is getting serious! The first reports about Emma and Garrett dating
appeared in March after they had been spending time together in various “social settings”
before things turned romantic. They started going on casual dates and back then they were
planning on taking things slow. They prefer to keep things rather private so there haven’t
been many sightings of these two together. They didn’t even make an official red carpet
appearance and they never made things Instagram official. They like to go on hikes and spend
time bowling though. And it looks like Emma’s mom approves of
the relationship. It’s because recently the actors went out for lunch and her mom,
Kelly Cunningham was with them. She and Garrett even gave each other a hug when they were
leaving! And don’t tell me that dinners with the parents aren’t a big deal, especially
that Emma’s father is Julia Roberts’ brother. By the way, Garrett Hedlund is an actor too
so he fit perfectly into the family. He starred in Friday Night Lights, Eragon, Country Strong
and recently in Triple Frontier. This guy can also sing, he even featured on the soundtrack
to the movie Country Strong and his duet with Leighton Meester charted on the Billboard
Hot 100. Alright, now back to that Halloween party
that celebrated the 100th episode of American Horror Story. According to People magazine,
Emma had quite an awkward and unpleasant time, because her ex-boyfriend, Evan, came with
his new girlfriend, Halsey. And they were sitting right at the table next to Emma! Well,
that situation has already been awkward, but that was not the worst of the night. It turns
out that, and I don't know if it was with the pure intention to completely ruin Emma's
night, or if it was an honest thing, but the couple wouldn’t stop showing their affection
towards each other right in front of Emma’s eyes... Geez, guys, what is happening?! Are
they really so in love that they simply cannot keep their hands to themselves?
What do you think, guys? Do you think Evan and Halsey have been acting like that just
to give Emma Roberts a hard time? How do you think Emma’s new relationship will develop?
Do you believe that she inherited the abusive behavior from her dad?? Let me know what you
