Reply to comment by Lost_Hunter3601 in ‘Sherlock’ Star Amanda Abbington Says “Nepotism” Helped Her Land Role In BBC Drama by Neo2199

It's not really about nepotism per se, it's about these so-called nepo babies acting like they got to where they are now all because of their hard work and being better than others. They refuse to acknowledge that nepotism played a major part in that. That's the real issue at hand.

They would have never gotten there without nepotism.

My personal pet peeve is when I hear them say things like "I used a pseudonym so I wouldn't get preferential treatment in the industry." Like, you can't be that naive. It's fine, dude, you're obviously talented, it's ok to say you got a leg up.

Allison Williams really has the right attitude.

Yea, as long as people are honest and grateful and recognize how lucky they are they’ll get a lot of leeway.
