Gracie Abrams, the daughter of “Star Trek” director J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot co-CEO Kaite McGrath, recently told The New York Times’ “Popcast” that she understands the online discourse about her nepotism.

“The nepo stuff is obviously in the discourse, appropriately,” Abrams said. “I think about the privilege there, and it’s like, I had a safety net, and that allowed me the ability to experiment, and concentrate, and I had the gift of time to dedicate to doing this thing I loved. I wasn’t growing up afraid financially, and that’s the biggest deal.”
