Julia Roberts talks about the viral Instagram post with her niece Emma
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar six years ago, Julia Roberts talked about the changes that Instagram has made to her life. She said that the remarks made by random users on Instagram over a picture of her that her niece Emma Roberts shared online, which recently went viral again, pained her.
"One weekend morning, Emma slept over, and we got up and were having tea and playing cards and having this beautiful morning, and then a couple of days later she posted a picture of us," she said at the time, adding, "And the number of people who felt absolutely required to talk about how terrible I looked in the picture — that I’m not aging well, that I look like a man, why would she even post a picture like this when I look that terrible!"
Roberts said that she was "amazed" that the comments impacted her so much. "I’m a 50-year-old woman and I know who I am, and still my feelings got hurt. I was sad that people couldn’t see the point of it, the sweetness of it, the absolute shining joy of that photo. I thought, “What if I was 15?'" she said in the interview.
While she was surprised the clip surfaced again, she understands why it resonates. "So many people think that's a new interview. But I clearly say, 'I'm a 50-year-old woman.' Well, I'm 56," Roberts told People. "But the fact that we are still here, and this vitriol is still happening six years later, shows how little progress we've made," she concluded.
Meanwhile, Roberts gave a moving speech at the banquet honoring International Women's Day, requesting everyone to advance the cause. Lifting her glass, she celebrated the ladies in attendance and urged the gentlemen to join her by adding, "All of you gents, hold us up a little higher."
