has defended “nepo babies” – a term for children of famous parents – and accused the entertainment industry of causing “childhood trauma” due to its unfriendliness towards working parents.

In response to her own tweet she added: “And before you come at me for being a nepo baby myself, I will be the first to tell you that I literally deserve nothing.” Allen has appeared in two of her mother’s films, “Elizabeth,” starring Cate Blanchett, in which she played a lady-in-waiting, and more recently “How to Build a Girl.” According to IMDb, her first on-screen appearances as a child were background roles in projects that starred her father, including TV show “The Comic Strip Presents…”

In response to one Twitter user who asked “Why are your parents blue links on Wikipedia[?]” Allen replied: “Because I’m a nepo baby, and both my parents are super talented.”

Omg these pathetic people in the comments…”wahhh, I don’t have famous parents so I don’t get to be famous.” All anyone cares about is being famous, that’s why no one is bothered by nepotism in any other professions that carry way more weight in terms of shaping policy and world.

Someone having the right connections and resources to nurture their children's talents, whether that's working in the music industry or not, is still denying someone less fortunate of the opportunity.

She literally cancelled a world tour because 'she wasn't up to it'. There's people who work their way from the ground up who deserve this more.

this is juicy. and real. of course us black people have no dog in this fight cause.....well ya know....racism

she's already clarified this.

*tries to pass blame to other group of people*

Says the nepo baby….lol

At least the ones in law firms had to go to university and pass the bar. And most have to be competent to advance. Unlike a Beckham or a Gallagher or a Moss. It’s still not fair but it doesn’t cancel mediocre celebrity offspring occupying so much space.

Is she still around? You find the further they are from their heyday the more likely they are to try to get our attention. Lilly, no one wants to know what you have to say.

We have the headspace to worry about all of them. FFS

Both can be true at the same time. What people criticizing nepo babies are saying is that we are not born equals and it ALSO (not only) reflects in the entertainment industry.

She’s not wrong, but I ain’t ask her.
