A complicated relationship. While Julia Roberts and her older brother, Eric Robertsnow have a typical sibling bond, that wasn’t always the case.
“Things always went well with Julia and me,” Eric revealed during a June 2022 appearance on the “Behind The Velvet Rope With David Yontef” podcast. “I think years and years ago I was doing a press tour for a movie… It was right then Beautiful woman [had been] released, and so they ask some questions about Julia. And I said, ‘Hey, excuse me. Can we talk about me?’”
He continued, “Suddenly… I keep hearing about it [these issues] I have with my sister that I don’t have that [actually] with my sister.”
Erik initially raised eyebrows in 2018 when he claimed to have created Julia and his daughter, Emma Robertswhich he shares with ex Kelly Cunninghamknown. In his 2024 memoir, Runaway Train: or the story of my life so farhe apologized for his earlier comments, calling them ‘asinine’.
