LATEST UPDATE: Julia Roberts ‘Raging All Over Again’ Over Fresh Revelations About Her Relationship With Actor Brother Eric In His Tell-All Memoir

The already strained relationship between Julia Roberts and her older brother, Eric, has taken a turn for the worse after the 68-year-old “Dark Knight” actor criticized her acting skills in his new memoir.

Just months after Julia instructed him not to speak about her publicly, Eric openly stated, “But I do!” He also apologized for a 2018 interview where he falsely claimed credit for her success, admitting it was untrue. However, he went on to criticize her performance in the 1989 film *Steel Magnolias*, which earned Julia her first Academy Award nomination.

“Julia was good in *Mystic Pizza* and great in *Pretty Woman*, but I don’t think she was very strong in *Steel Magnolias*, in my opinion,” wrote Eric, who is an Oscar-nominated actor. “I don’t want to come off as a jealous sibling or an actor critiquing, but I just don’t believe her performance held up in that film.”

The frequently troubled Eric, who had been estranged from Julia for over 20 years before they reached a tentative reconciliation in 2004, also shares strange anecdotes about her, including a whispered rumor about an incestuous relationship between them. A friend revealed to RadarOnline.com that Eric’s new book has left Julia feeling furious.

A friend shared, “Julia is 12 years younger than Eric, and he had already moved out by the time she was in second grade. She believes Eric knows very little about her, and using her life to promote his book is unforgivable—though she won’t confront him about it. The source added, ‘She’d rather never speak to him again!'”
