Eric Roberts Issues Apology To Julia Roberts Following “Asinine” Comments Where He Took Credit For His Sister’s Career

I was first to get Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations, so Im proud of that.

And I hope Julie will accept this more public apology.

It was an asinine thing to have said.

I was proud of her, but it was pride turned on its head, to my own advantage.

On the other hand, I was born to do this.

I moved to New York City when I wasnt even old enough to drink a beer in public.
