Emma Roberts Says She's Never Gotten A Job Because of Nepotism

Emma Roberts is doubling down on how nepo baby status ain't all it's cracked up to be ... claiming once again it's lost her jobs -- but never helped her land one.

The actress sat down for an interview with the magazine Flaunt that dropped earlier this week, and she reflected on being a nepo baby ... totally laughing off the idea she's getting help with her career from her dad Eric or aunt Julia Roberts .

ER says, "I’ve lost more jobs than I’ve gained from being in the business. People have opinions and sometimes maybe they’re not good opinions of people in your family. I’ve never gotten a job because of it, I know I definitely have lost a couple of jobs because of it."

Roberts' assertions will definitely raise some eyebrows, but they fall in line with everything Emma's been saying as the daughter/niece of super-famous stars.

Remember ... Emma recently sat down for an interview with the podcast "Table for Two" -- and, she said nepo babies who are women catch more flak than their male counterparts, using George Clooney as an example .

During the same convo, Emma said she's lost jobs because of her family ties ... but, this is the first time she's said she's never gotten a job because of the fam, as far as we can tell.

It's not easy for normies to make it in H'wood ... but, sounds like Emma's saying a star-studded family tree doesn't make it any easier.
