Amanda Seyfried Argues That People Should Stop Criticizing 'Nepo Babies'
HuffPost
The actor declared that they “aren’t the worst.”
In late 2022, a viral New York magazine article about “nepo babies” and the world’s complicated relationship with them spurred massive discourse across the internet. Now, actor Amanda Seyfried has entered the chat to offer her take on the touchy debate about celebrities whose parents are also celebrities.
“Listen, nepo babies aren’t the worst. We gotta stop giving them a bad name. It’s not their fucking fault,” the actor, 39, said in a TikTok clip posted by Canadian news outlet Etalk on Tuesday.
TV correspondent Traci Melchor agreed with Seyfried while expressing that she wished she didn’t have to “fight” her way into the industry. Seyfried replied, “Me too!”
The actor argued that nepotism won’t save anyone who’s not talented because “it all comes out in the wash,” adding, “if you’re not good, you’re not good.”
