Overview
- Eric Roberts told The Hollywood Reporter's It Happened in Hollywood podcast that reports of a family feud are false and said he and Julia Roberts are fine.
- He praised his sister as a wonderful actress and person and said he admires her role as a mother.
- Roberts said press coverage turns their relationship into a contest and noted they would never go up for the same roles.
- Reports revisited his 2018 Vanity Fair claim that his early success helped launch the careers of Julia Roberts and his daughter, Emma Roberts.
- Coverage also recalls his 2024 memoir critique of Julia’s Steel Magnolias performance and places his new denial alongside a history of blunt remarks and later walkbacks, with no public response from Julia in these stories.
