Julia Roberts and Brother Eric’s Alleged Drama Explained

A complicated relationship. While Julia Roberts and her older brother, Eric Roberts, have a typical sibling bond now, that wasn’t always the case.

“Julia and I have always been fine,” 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 some movie … It was just when Pretty Woman [had been] released, and so they’re asking a bunch of questions about Julia. And I said, ‘Hey, excuse me. Can we talk about me?’”

He continued: “Suddenly … I keep hearing about [these issues] I have with my sister that I don’t [actually] have with my sister.”

Eric initially raised eyebrows in 2018 when he claimed he made Julia and his daughter, Emma Roberts, whom he shares with ex Kelly Cunningham, famous. In his 2024 memoir, Runaway Train: Or the Story of My Life So Far, he apologized for his past comments calling them “asinine.”
