Interesting observation. I definitely cannot recall any negative media attention about her being "too thin". And by media's standards she's definitely "too thin" (not by our standards of course). I don't see her as Hollywood royalty, though, despite being Julia Robert's daughter. And even if that were the case, the fact that she may be Hollywood royalty hasn't stopped the media writing other negative things about her - remember when she got into a violent fight with her boyfriend Evan Peters? The media went to town on her! I think the reason why she never had the "too thin" label was because, generally speaking, she's always maintained the same size. Most actresses yo-yo, hence the media is very quick to call them "too thin" when they're looking thinner than normal and quick to "praise their curves" when they're looking bigger.
I've actually seen a few websites calling her too thin or saying she's addicted to juicing and such, but you're right I haven't seen any "anorexic" accusations
She isn't even her daughter she's her niece, but I do think the relationship has something to do with tabloids and such going easier on her. Domestic altercations appear out of the ordinary (i'm not on a personal level with any celebrities so I am not to say if it does or doesn't happen often) but it is not publically done or condoned in the slightest so I feel like this was an instance where they could go to town on her. Take pre-weight gain shenae grimes - she started out slim and from the first episode of 90210 was labeled as anorexic. Basically what I'm saying is the relationship to Julia Roberts has helped her stay out of negative press in my opinion for matters that are petty like "too thin" of a body thag most starletts are subjected to
Emma has always been borderline-impressive to me. I think it's because she's so petite (not skinny but a small person in general). Look at her legs compared to others in spring breakers
That being said, sometimes she's not skinny for her. I think that's the difference. You can be a petite person but still be "full". Her arms have never looked sharp enough for me to say she's SG skinny.

she apparently was booted from Spring Breaker for refusing to gain weight for the role. The directors wanted a "more average" type of girl.Emma has always been borderline-impressive to me.

If that's true that makes me happy to hear. Granted she probably has enough money and industrial pull with her aunt that she didn't need spring breakers to make her career, but I like that she took a stand and didn't give up the skinny body she liked because Americans need to feel good about seeing people like themselves in bikinis
Unrelated - i hated that movie so fucking much. It wasn't fun, funny, edgy, interesting....it was just weird in the worst way possible
I agree. To me Emma Roberts is not my skinny preference. It's generally harder for petite girls.

Interesting that we criticise Jennifer Lawrence for refusing to lose weight for a role but praise Emma Roberts for refusing to gain weight for a role. I think if the role calls for it, actresses should transform their body accordingly - whether that means gaining weight or losing weight. Men gain and lose weight for roles all the time - no questions asked. Obviously Emma's situation was different because she just flat out refused to be in the movie but it would have annoyed me if she had been in the movie and refused to change her body for it.
I think it depends on the movie. Spring Breakers was a hot mess. There wasn't really a plot, no character growth. There is no impact with the movie if Roberts does or does not lose weight. The Hunger Games lost it's impact/social commentary with Lawrence being thicker (and white, but I'm not blaming that on her)
Like @Kit said, Spring Breakers wasn't a movie impacted by size. It was drugged up girls running around in bikinis. She was supposed to lose weight so the audience could relate to her while seeing her in a bikini...that's a stupid reason.
Movies where the story is benefitted by weight gain/loss etc. whether it be based on a real character/true story, just make the plot realistic or whatever, is a different story. In that case I would agree it is their job to look the type if they want that role.
That's why i mentioned being Julia Roberts' niece as well as past acting gigs probably helped her ability to turn it down. An up and coming actress would risk her career by not gaining the weight and probably couldn't afford that
Oh yes absolutely agree - I was thinking this after I submitted my message but couldn't be bothered editing it to clarify!
Wow, that's quite big for her! As a fellow short girl, I appreciate her tiny bone structure. Hate to see her gain.
she said, fuck @AllyKat , next time I'm going out in flats to show off and I don't need a black iced coffee to prove that I'm a skinny bitch (hence the cream)
