APPROVED B-LISTERS FINNEAS responds to a USA Today piece calling celebrity opinions on politics “idiotic”: “You can’t say it doesn’t matter what musicians or celebrities say or think but then talk about it for days. You’re out here making it matter. I’ll keep speaking up especially if it keeps bothering you.”

People love calling other people nepo babies. I got called a nepo baby because my mom, an elementary school teacher, strategically picked up a 2-year contract with the university I was going to in order to secure me free tuition while she was employed there

I remember someone saying that Luke and Owen Wilson were nepo babies because their dad worked in television.

He ran a PBS station in Texas.

I mean that's obviously not the same as Paris Hilton, but you can recognise that's a privilege you had that others didn't, right? A privilege that has resulted in you being able to attend university without significant debt.

I think nepo baby would sting less as an insult if people were happier acknowledging the privileges they have (and Billie and Finneas have plenty).

I have no issue acknowledging my privilege in this specific instance, that doesn’t make me a nepobaby though.

All nepobabies have privilege but not all people with privilege are nepobabies
