Julia Roberts Upset Over New Details in Brother Eric’s Tell-All Memoir

Julia Roberts Reacts to Brother Eric’s Controversial Tell-All Memoir

The tension between Julia Roberts and her older brother Eric has reached new heights following the release of his tell-all memoir, which includes startling claims about their relationship. Eric, the 68-year-old actor known for roles in films like The Dark Knight, has made headlines for criticizing Julia’s acting skills in his book.

Despite previously stating that he would refrain from discussing Julia publicly at her request, Eric has now openly declared his stance, saying, “But I do!” In an interview back in 2018, he took credit for her rise to fame, a claim he later admitted was fabricated.

In his memoir, Eric does not hold back, particularly when recalling Julia’s performance in the revered 1989 film Steel Magnolias, which was her first Oscar nomination. “Julia was good in Mystic Pizza, great in Pretty Woman, but not much in Steel Magnolias, in my opinion,” he wrote. His comments have sparked outrage, as he asserts, “I don’t want to sound like an actor talking, or a jealous sibling, but I don’t think her performance held up in that movie.”

Eric’s troubled history with Julia is well-documented; the duo was estranged for over two decades before cautiously reconciling in 2004. In his memoir, he doesn’t shy away from sharing outlandish stories, including unfounded rumors of an incestuous relationship between them.

An insider revealed that Julia is furious about Eric’s latest revelations. “Julia, who is 12 years younger than Eric, feels that he knows very little about her and using her life story to promote his book is simply unacceptable,” the source shared. “She’d rather cut ties with him entirely than confront him directly.”

As this family saga unfolds, it remains to be seen how Julia will respond to the further revelations in Eric’s memoir, and whether this will solidify their estrangement once more.
