Emma Roberts has taken after her father...once again. The third generation actress, daughter of actor Eric Roberts and niece of famed actress Julia Roberts, was arrested on July 7 for domestic abuse. Emma reportedly battered and bit her boyfriend, American Horror Story star Evan Peters. Poppa Roberts has quite the checkered past, himself. Is the young starlet destined to follow in her father’s footsteps?
The all-seeing eye of TMZ is reporting that Canadian cops showed up to the couple’s hotel room after a fellow guest called them to investigate a fight. When the cops arrived, they found Evan Peters with visible wounds. The up and coming actor had a bloody nose and a bite mark.
Roberts was arrested for domestic abuse but was later released after Peters decided not to press charges.
Reps from both actors released a joint statement on Monday to E! News:
“It was an unfortunate incident and misunderstanding. Ms. Roberts was released after questioning and the couple are working together to move past it."
Roberts' recent behavior seems to run in the family. Father, Eric Roberts has had some highly publicized problems with drugs in the past, leading to multiple arrest, including a 1995 domestic abuse arrest of his own.
Eric was also estranged from his sister Julia for many years largely in part due to substance abuse issues. Worst of all was Eric's 2010 stint in rehab...celebrity rehab that is. The award winning actor and co-star of 2008’s acclaimed blockbuster The Dark Knight was reduced to public humiliation as a cast member of the fourth season of the VH1 reality show.
If you can't get enough of the young couple covered in blood, then be sure to check out Emma and Evan as they co-star in the upcoming season of the FX series American Horror Story: Coven. Meanwhile, Ms.Roberts will surely be glad when this whole bloody mess blows over and she can return to the days where the only thing she had to worry about was what color to dye her hair.
