“HOLY FORK,” replied Hewson, who thenretweeted the diagramand said, “I HAVE JUST BEEN MADE AWARE I HIT MY 2023 GOALS AND IT’S STILL 2022.”
“For those of you who have just tuned in to my existence, I am asked about my privilege a lot. And I have always been very keen to state how much my father’s name helped me get a start in acting,” she said, adding her gratitude for the opportunities she has had.
In afollow-up tweet, Hewson asked that people refrain from taking her jokes too seriously.
“And to the Twitter bots and girlos calling me a spoiled brat.. please don’t forget to have a sense of humour in life,” theBehind Her Eyesstar finished in athird comment. “And try to be kind. We all need a little bit more kindness in the world. Much love xx”
But theEverything Everywhere All at Oncestar rejected the premise of the discourse, saying it was “designed to try to diminish and denigrate and hurt.”
“It’s curious how we immediately make assumptions and snide remarks that someone related to someone else who is famous in their field for their art, would somehow have no talent whatsoever,” the actress wrote on Instagram. “I have come to learn that is simply not true. I have suited up and shown up for all different kinds of work with thousands of thousands of people and every day I’ve tried to bring integrity and professionalism and love and community and art to my work. I am not alone.”
SingerLily Allenspoke out about the issue as well,defending herselfand her fellow “nepotism babies” on Twitter.
“The nepo babies y’all should be worrying about are the ones working for legal firms,the ones working for banks,and the ones working in politics, If we’re talking about real world consequences and robbing people of opportunity. BUT that’s none of my business,” said Allen, 37, who is the daughter of actor Keith Allen and producer Alison Owens. (Allen’s younger brother is Emmy-nominated actorAlfie Allen, who played Theon Greyjoy onGame of Thrones.)
