As Julia Roberts' niece and Eric Roberts' daughter, the door was already open for her in Hollywood. She decided to walk through that door. She has done well for herself so far, and is now filming for the third season of the FX hit series "American Horror Story". People are starting to call her the next Lindsay Lohan with her hard partying after her breakup from Chord Overstreet of "Glee". She recently got arrested for domestic violence on her current boyfriend, co-star Evan Peters of "American Horror Story". She was released from custody because Peters did not want to press charges.From justjared.com
Her family has a history of domestic violence and drug abuse with her father being arrested for both and also went on Vh1's "Celebrity Rehab" with Dr. Drew. Her Aunt Julia Roberts hasn't had any problems with drugs, alcohol, or domestic violence, but she has had issues with relationships in the past. Julia starred in the movie "Runaway Bride", when in fact she was one. Is Emma Roberts more prone to destructive behavior with her family's past? Probably since you are more likely to be addicted if your father was also addicted to drugs and alcohol.The problem is that with no one taking actions and being bailed out by her own boyfriend that she was allegedly attacking (he had a bloody nose when police arrived), everyone around her is enabling her. She seems like a put together actress until recently to fans, however, she hasn't been put together for awhile according to friends. Emma has just been able to stay out of the media until now. It appears that Emma has had nothing but drama filled relationships, including with Chord Overstreet, which is probably why they broke up. If you add a little late night partying with other substances, the fights will get more dramatic and violent as everyone has seen. If she continues on this path, she will most definitely end up in rehab and possibly jail, which she has already conquered one out of the two.From justjared.com
Unfortunately, she has an obvious problem coping with any sort of issues in life and relies on outlets via alcohol and/or allegedly drugs. It's surprising than Evan Peters would put up with bloody noses, it can only get worse from here. I'm sure she takes the role as the abuser, profusely apologizing and saying it will never happen again, but women can be just as damaging and violent as men can be. Although the media claims her recent arrest of domestic violence was not just her fighting, it was mutual fighting and hitting, but is that actually better? Absolutely not. If the sources are correct, then Evan Peters was also hitting Emma Roberts while she was hitting him enough to cause blood. Not only does this not sound like a healthy relationship, but both people need help before it is too late.From ibtimes.com
As for her being the next Lindsay Lohan, let's go down the checklist. Dramatic and abusive relationships? Check. History of dependence on substances including family and herself? Check. Being arrested? Check. Hard partying all night long? Check. Emma Roberts is doing great on the Lindsay Lohan checklist, all she needs is a stint in Rehab and going to court a few times and some community service hours. Watch out Emma, the Lilo tornado is coming for you and you will do enough damage to level a city. Your life and career will be over before you can blink.
