That’s a much fairer perspective, but I’m not sure it was worth reporting on? I was reading it like, what’s new here…?
Of course it’s much better to acknowledge the privilege than deny it, but you can also accept it without needing to talk about it so unapologetically - not that she needs to apologise as such, it just felt somewhat out of touch to me.
I also read that interview with Maya Hawke and I thought “well of course you don’t have a problem with it”.
I also think the “I’m not helping anyone by not doing it” is short sighted… if there was zero nepotism in Hollywood, it would leave a lot more opportunities for people that don’t have the “right” surname.
The interview offered nothing more than her saying, “Yeah, I know I’m privileged, but you know what? I don’t care.”
I took her comments as acknowledging the nepotism without apologizing for her career and ambition. So many people in her position have tried to act like nepotism didn't help them and they did it all by themselves. She's agreeing that it gave her an advantage but she seems passionate about her craft and wants to continue to pursue that.

I agree it's not all that newsworthy, but that's more of a media problem, with their insistence on asking celebrities about this kind of thing.
Also true… I feel like such a cynic 😂
