Williams told Vulture Magazine she found the recent backlash from famous children to the "nepo baby" label "ludicrous."
"All that people are looking for is an acknowledgment that it’s not a level playing field. It’s just unfair. Period, end of the story, and no one’s really working that hard to make it fair. To not acknowledge that me getting started as an actress versus someone with zero connections isn’t the same — it’s ludicrous," she told the entertainment outlet.
