I’ve come to realize the error of my ways, and I humbly apologize for any pain or misunderstanding caused. To Julie, I hope this public apology finds its way to you and is accepted. In retrospect, what I said was foolish, though I am proud of my sister. Unfortunately, that pride led me to twist the truth to my advantage, which was a grave mistake.

In another part of their conversation, the Babylon performer added that it’s quite possible his sister could have thrived on her own without his assistance. He emphasized that the actress from Pretty Woman is incredibly ambitious and suggested that someone else might have recognized her talent in a bustling city like New York, regardless of his help.

According to the source, he hinted that if Julia Roberts had chosen to stay in Atlanta instead, her career may have unfolded quite differently, suggesting he played a part in motivating his sisters to move with him to New York. The actor pointed out, “She observed my life as a budding actor in New York and the way I was making a living, and she decided to give it a try herself.

In a 2018 interview with Vanity Fair, Eric Roberts boasted about his role in the success of his famous sister, Julia Roberts, and daughter, Emma Roberts.

Roberts added that upon his sister’s arrival in New York, he boldly approached the William Morris Agency and enquired, “Who among you will represent my sister Julia?” The performer also expressed his pride in being the first to secure both Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations, a feat accomplished well before his sister received similar recognition.
