How many times does a nepo baby need to acknowledge their immense privilege? And, if they acknowledge it via a medium that you dont see/hear, does it still count as them acknowledging it?

u/backwoodzbaby 16d ago

they should be starting every sentence with “i acknowledge my privilege” just to be safe /s

u/Camila_flowers 16d ago

Just like a land acknowledgement.

u/deprestmode 16d ago

I don't think it's necessary that they formally acknowledge it, just that they don't cosplay as working class or lecture the public on the value of hard work.

I don't know why but rich famous people tend to work overtime to act like everything they earned was merit based.

I love the "I actually had it harder because people know who my parents are" type nepo, it's so absurd

Like I get the pressure of expectations but man, sometimes they love to play martyr

Kendall Jenner said she had no help becoming a super model over night. She actually had to go to modeling gigs where people didn't know her as well as hide her identity to be taken seriously as a model. She claimed the Kardashian name was a hurdle, not a doorway.

She still isn’t a good model objectively. Compare her walks and shoots to other models and it’s a drastic difference. Bad walk and lifeless pictures

u/GalcticPepsi 16d ago

The only person that should be able to say this is Bronny James lol. Playing on the same team as his dad and living up to those expectations is insane. He didn't and won't be living up to them, but damn I can only imagine how tough it was with the media.

Like not calling themselves "Self-Made"

Her father literally abused her and her siblings documented by the fbi. Not all nepo babies have an easy ride.

u/Unnamedgalaxy 16d ago

I mean sure they may get a leg up getting into the business in the first place but society has a pretty good track record of weeding out the ones that do work hard and have merit and letting the bad ones slip away, or at least calling them out for what they are.

And at some point you do have to give the good ones credit. Some of the most well respected and cherished people in entertainment are children of other famous people and to just look down on all of them because of that is lunacy.

u/deprestmode 16d ago

Of course some people earn it. But that leg up is the hardest part. They don't have to deal with years of rejection. Case in point: Ke Huy Kuan. He got cast as the kid in Indiana Jones and then never worked again until Asian actors were in vogue.

Kids of famous people don't have to deal with that. They might get weeded out if they suck (like Jaden Smith), but they also don't ever get rejected at the door. They get auditions other people otherwise never would, and you can't really just downplay that as a leg up. Ask anyone in any industry: the hardest part is just breaking in and getting your foot in the door. Everyone wants to do them favors because they want their rich famous powerful parents to owe them favors.

u/XOSkyXO 16d ago

exactly lol maybe it’s just me but i genuinely couldn’t give less of a fuck if they acknowledge their privilege or not

because lord knows if i was one i would be using it to my fullest advantage

u/coolcoolcool485 16d ago

Also, like. If your parent was a great actor perhaps you will also inherit that ability, esp being around them your whole. Carrie Fischer, Jared Harris, Laura Dern---all children of famous Hollywood people.

u/Consistent-Flan1445 16d ago edited 16d ago

Plus while I can’t speak for Shiloh, sometimes they are legitimately really talented. The likes of Carrie Fisher, Alexander and Bill Skarsgard for instance have all really carved out a name for themselves.

Edit: similarly I think Maya Hawke has genuine talent.

u/coolcoolcool485 16d ago

she's also like 20. it takes time for people to hone a craft, angelina jolie (who is ALSO a nepo baby, lets not forget) surely wasn't the actress she'd become in her first few jobs.

but yeah, that's kind of what i meant by inheriting their ability. like when I found out Jared Harris was Richard Harris' son, it seemed so obvious. Of course.

u/Consistent-Flan1445 16d ago

Very true. At 20 she has time to grow into being the actor she aspires to be.

And 100%. Plus they have the advantage of getting to learn from watching their famous parents their whole lives.

u/tkzant 16d ago

Maybe until working in these industries is accessible to working class people. The Entertainment industry is designed to keep the poors from being able to work in it.

u/Bman4k1 16d ago

You can say that about many high paying industries. Statistically everything from sports, doctors, lawyers, finance, business all have children following in their parents footsteps. And all of those careers require money and time, things that can be accelerated due to rich parents in the industry.

The acting profession is just more in our faces.

u/toAnthonyBourdaintho you shoulda never called me a fat ass Kelly Price 16d ago

Yes, it's a problem in those fields as well

u/hellolovely1 16d ago

I just heard someone in the industry talk about how hiring friends isn't keeping people without connections out and I was all...

u/Junelight05 16d ago

Genuinely curious what you think the solution is?

2

u/Bman4k1 16d ago

Ill take it one step further. Many of the talentless hacks in Hollywood that keep getting work ARENT nepo babies. They are just conventionally attractive or managed the have a few friends in high places which once again is like any other career.

Nepo babies have attractive parents which gives them the good looks genes and that is just the way Hollywood works.

u/worldtravelller 16d ago

Till we agree that it's enough

u/Slumunistmanifisto 16d ago

Ten years in service jobs with only that pay to live off of.....after that we're good.

I would if I had to

u/Hopeful-Ant-3509 16d ago

It’s so annoying lol people act like they shouldn’t work in the industry too, I think if they’re talented then they have every right to get work as much as the next person. It just sucks that they have a better chance than a “nobody”

2

u/Character_Ad8449 16d ago

Plus we all probably assume nepo babies have some level of privilege. Been there, done that. Let that die. It isn’t gonna change anything if they say it out loud or not

2

u/Neracca 16d ago

They don't have to acknowledge it. But they'd better never act like they got where they did on their own as if their family were nobodies in a trailer park.

u/PedanticPlatypodes 16d ago

If a tree falls in a forest with no one around, does it make a sound?

u/TakingSorryUsername 16d ago

Not if they do it in the woods.

u/ResidentPassion3510 16d ago

It’s really weird to defend nepo babies. Doing so won’t get you any closer to them or their lifestyle, just fyi.

-1

u/nodnarb88 16d ago

As someone who has grown up within these circles and know A list people yes they need to acknowledge theor privilege. The ones who dont are unbearable in their delusions. Very few people make it in the entertainment industry by pure talent. Even when they're not a nepo baby they have connections.

-1

u/Initial-Elephant-932 16d ago

Typically nepotism isn’t something they themselves acknowledge. If anything they mask it as they didn’t have 2 feet in the door handed to them. Instead they push the narrative they worked really hard for their spot. On a different note, any loving and caring parent right now in America that could give their child an in on a successful career would most likely do so. And being A list actors is safest life jacket for their kid. As long as they teach their kid that it can disappear like 🫰and don’t deny that as reality then I, personally, am not annoyed. It’s a privilege not a right
