If you weren’t aware, The Dark Knight star Eric—who is also the brother of Hollywood icon Julia Roberts—welcomed Emma into the world with his former partner Kelly Cunningham back in 1991.

Throughout his career, Eric has been transparent about how his intense battle with substance addiction made it nearly impossible to navigate parenting during Emma’s early years. These struggles eventually led to him losing custody of her. “I loved my little daughter with the strength of Hercules, despite my own weaknesses,” the actor penned in his 2024 memoir Runaway Train: Or, the Story of My Life So Far. “However, I couldn’t handle the realities of an infant coming into my life, and I couldn’t handle being a parent! I’m still not a father figure.”

“The biggest consequence of my drug use was losing Emma. I was still impossibly coked up when she was born, which explains everything,” he admitted, further adding, “I never saw myself as someone who deserved to have physical custody of Emma, not in a million years.” This week, Eric appeared on Kara Mayer Robinson’s Really Famous podcast to delve deeper into his history as a father.

Reflecting on a poignant memory from Emma’s infancy, Eric recalled the moment the newborn stopped “screaming her head off” when he sang “Happy Birthday.” It was a song he had frequently sung to Kelly’s belly while she was pregnant. “It was the most complete moment, maybe I have ever had in my life,” he shared. “That something I did was recognized by a brand-new creature who had my DNA. Oh my God. And there she was, and she already knew me.”

While describing that connection as “maybe the most incredible thing” he has ever experienced, Eric also looked back at his fragile emotional state during that time. He explained that he was deeply entrenched in depression and a cycle of “self-abuse.”

“Emotionally, I was a wash rag. I was not to be depended on emotionally whatsoever, ‘cause I was a car wreck. And I was a car wreck because of many things, but I take full responsibility for it,” the actor confessed.

Despite their rocky past, Eric noted that he felt completely “comfortable” with host Kara bringing up Emma during their chat, stating emphatically, “I’m so proud of my daughter.”

When the interview turned toward whether the relationship between Eric and Emma Roberts is currently “complicated,” Eric dismissed the notion. “Not really. It’s only complicated to outside eyes because they don’t get any of it, so they have their own take, whatever that is, and it’s not.”

Reaffirming his admiration for Emma’s career trajectory, Eric noted, “You know, she didn’t start off as a great actor. But she became a great actor. She’s fabulous, and I’m so proud of that… The first thing I saw her do that I was like, ‘Wow, oh my God, I’m so proud of you,’ was, uh, Maybe I Do. Is that it? I don’t know, I’m so bad with titles.”

Maybe I Do hit theaters in 2023, featuring an ensemble cast including Diane Keaton, Richard Gere, William H. Macy, and Luke Bracey. Of course, long before that project, Emma established herself as a household name through hits like American Horror Story, Scream Queens, Wild Child, Nerve, and We’re the Millers.

Later in the episode, Kara suggested that there are likely “emotions that are complicated” regarding their personal history. Eric drew a firm line, replying: “Probably, but that’s not an issue. And that’s not anything I’m here to discuss with you. It is what that is, but that’s a whole other issue in my life. That’s not what we’re talking about today.”

To get you up to speed: After news broke that Barry and Sabrina reportedly split in late 2024 after a year of dating, the internet was flooded with rumors that he had been unfaithful to the “Espresso” singer with influencer Breckie Hill.

Despite the denial, the wave of online negativity aimed at the Saltburn star was so intense that he eventually felt forced to delete his Instagram account and release a statement regarding the “hate” he was enduring during that period.

While appearing on a recent episode of the Friends Keep Secrets podcast, Barry addressed those persistent cheating rumors directly. He shared a candid look at how the public narrative has fundamentally altered his life—and his perspective was truly heartbreaking.

“I came off Instagram and social profiles,” he confessed during the interview. “I’ve stopped going to events. I’ve stopped, you know, just, socializing. It’s because, you know, there was a narrative out there that was never really sort of even spoken on, a narrative that’s not true, and I never confirmed or said anything about it. And, you know, I just disappeared.”

Reflecting on the unique struggles of “having a relationship in the public eye,” Barry pointed toward the video where Breckie denied the rumors. “No one seemed to latch on to that video,” he noted, expressing frustration over how the public perception has shifted since the breakup.

“I’m not asking for people to become my fan and like me because that’s not normal either,” he continued. “But I’m asking for people to stop assuming and also stop jumping on this narrative and attacking me and dragging me down in any way you can, involving my parents who are no longer with me… just absolutely disgusting and vile. There’s videos on TikTok literally going, ‘I hate him.'”

If you’re a millennial of a certain age, you know Shannon Elizabeth from a few things. Between the American Pie franchise, Tomcats, Scary Movie, and even a Jay and Silent Bob movie or two, she was arguably one of the queens of the “movies you watched at a sleepover party” subcategory.

Shannon’s acting career has remained fairly steady since then, but she recently took on a new role entirely: OnlyFans creator. She joined the service just a few weeks ago, telling People at the time that starting her own OnlyFans was because “I’ve spent my entire career working in Hollywood, where other people controlled the narrative and the outcome of my career. This new chapter is about changing that, showing off a more sexy side no one has seen, and being closer to my fans.”

Well, just a few weeks later, People has a new report on how the OnlyFans foray is going for Shannon — and as it turns out, she’s seemingly struck content-creator gold in the process.
