Julia Roberts is reportedly furious with her brother, Eric Roberts, over his new tell-all memoir where he criticizes her acting abilities. The siblings, who have had a strained relationship in the past, are now facing even more tension due to Eric’s comments in his book.
In the memoir, Eric not only apologizes for falsely claiming credit for Julia’s success in a previous interview but also goes on to critique her performance in the 1989 film “Steel Magnolias.” Despite Julia receiving critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination for her role in the movie, Eric expressed his opinion that her performance did not hold up to his standards.
According to Eric, Julia was exceptional in films like “Mystic Pizza” and “Pretty Woman,” but he felt that her performance in “Steel Magnolias” fell short. He acknowledged that his comments may come across as biased or jealous, but he stands by his opinion.
In addition to criticizing Julia’s acting, Eric also includes some bizarre stories about their relationship in the memoir. One particularly shocking claim is a whispered rumor that suggests the siblings had an incestuous relationship. These revelations have only added fuel to the fire in their already complicated dynamic.
Friends close to Julia have revealed that she is deeply hurt by Eric’s portrayal of their relationship in the memoir. Despite their troubled history, Julia had hoped to maintain a semblance of peace with her brother. However, Eric’s decision to include such personal and damaging stories in his book has pushed Julia to her breaking point.
Julia, who is 12 years younger than Eric, feels that he has exploited their relationship for the sake of selling his book. She believes that Eric’s actions are unforgivable and has chosen to distance herself from him rather than engage in a confrontation.
The ongoing drama between Julia and Eric has captivated fans and the media alike, with many speculating about the future of their relationship. As Julia navigates this latest chapter of family drama, she remains focused on her career and personal well-being.
