Allison Williams joins ‘nepo babies’ discussion:

“There’s no conversation about my career without talking about the ways in which I have been fortunate. I was concerned with making sure people understood I was a hard worker, as if somehow that would absolve me of the privilege.” pic.twitter.com/1QhYxAG9B3

There's an example of a Nepo Kid in your gif. But I don't want to hear from any of that family.

Billy Bush is a cousin of theirs & he didn't want to use that connection to further his career (even though people knew about it). One TV station he worked for before he got on Access Hollywood did some promo with with something like; "We have the President's cousin working here!" and he quit because he told them he didn't want to play up the connection.

But nepotism isn’t about whether it’s widely known you have connections. It’s about the connections themselves. If people “knew about” his connections, they were used in furtherance of his career whether he wanted that or not.

I had a similar thought. But it seemed like he wanted praise for quitting because of that.
