    there’s a couple nepo babies in Hollywood that I’m ok with. She’s one of them, Julia Louse Dreyfus is another one. I mean, granted going into acting and getting some success was not exactly due to straight up hard work, but there’s plenty of people in similar situations who don’t put in ANY work, don’t give us good performances and don’t support decent social causes…

    I just can’t get angry just from where they came. I get angry with those that exploit and feel entitled simply due to their luck of birth.

      How is Julia Louis-Dreyfus a Hollywood nepo baby? Her family doesn’t work in the industry. Sure she’s privileged as hell since she is a billionaire heir. She never had to worry about money while pursuing an acting career, but being privileged isn’t automatically nepotism. Maybe her family could have used their vast network to get her an audition for SNL but there is no proof of that.

      Though her son is a straight up nepo baby.

        Yeah, I suppose you are right, but money pretty much replaces connections in any industry so I lump them in the same category. Both had roadblocks cleared for them that most don’t due to connections. One came from the industry, another from Industry.
