Actor Eric Roberts has directly addressed and refuted circulating rumors about a rift between himself and his sister, actress Julia Roberts, which allegedly led to his exclusion from his daughter Emma Roberts' recent wedding to Cody John.
In a statement, Eric Roberts clarified that the reports of his absence from the wedding due to familial discord are untrue. "Not true. Never was true," Roberts stated, emphasizing that while disagreements are a normal part of family dynamics, the relationship with his sister remains one of mutual liking and respect. "We have disagreements as people do, but we like and respect each other very much."
The persistent rumors suggested that Julia Roberts influenced the decision to not invite Eric to Emma's wedding. These claims have now been explicitly denied by Eric Roberts himself. He did not provide further details about the wedding itself or his current relationship status with his daughter, but his comments focused on dispelling the narrative of a significant family feud.
Roberts has previously been the subject of public interest regarding his family relationships, but this is a direct refutation of specific claims that have gained traction in some media outlets.
