Julia Roberts on the College Scandal: A Heartfelt Take
Julia, known for her role in Pretty Woman, expressed her disappointment over the college admissions scandal. "To bring the college situation into the mix, that to me is so sad because I feel from an outsider that it says a little bit 'I don’t have enough faith in you,'" she said. She went on to explain how the themes in Ben Is Back tie into this issue. "In this story, this mother is trying to say, 'I have both of our faiths until you can find the faith in yourself again.' It’s about trust and belief in one’s potential," she elaborated.

Motherhood and Life Lessons from Julia Roberts
As a mother of three with husband Danny Moder, Julia also shared her thoughts on parenting. Reflecting on her own childhood, she emphasized the importance of teaching life skills to her children. "I don’t want them to have some of the struggles I had, but at the same time, you do need to know how to make your bed, how to do your laundry, and how to cook a meal," she explained. "These are essential life skills. They have to run their own race and have their own experiences," she added, stressing the importance of letting kids forge their own paths.
Rita Wilson Chimes In
Also weighing in on the scandal earlier this week was Julia’s Runaway Bride co-star, Rita Wilson. During an appearance on Busy Tonight, the 62-year-old actress voiced her strong disapproval. "It is so unethical and disturbing because there are kids who work really hard that are on financial aid who are desperate for a spot in any college," she told host Busy Phillips.
Rita further elaborated, "It is also insulting to the colleges that are not considered elite as if there’s somehow different or you’re getting a different education. It doesn’t matter, it’s all about hard work." Her comments highlight the broader implications of the scandal and its impact on deserving students.
