Years after the tragic death of Julia Roberts’ half-sister Nancy Motes, damaging accusations from Motes’ grieving fiancé John Dilbeck still threaten to tarnish the Oscar winner’s reputation.
Motes, a dog trainer, died by suicide at age 37 in February 2014 after years of turmoil involving Roberts. As per Dailymail, in her suicide note, Motes directly blamed the Hollywood icon for “bullying” her about her weight and causing her deep depression.

According to The Sun, in an interview, Dilbeck doubled down on his previous claims that Julia Roberts intimidated Motes and deliberately kept her from spending time with their ailing mother Betty Lou Motes in her final years.
Dilbeck stated: “Julia always felt that Nancy had her time with their mother, now it’s her turn, as if she was a toy or animal…There should be no Betty and Nancy.

Things were going so well for "Leave the World Behind." Netflix's latest psychological thriller/disaster film hit the service on December 8, 2023, and promptly dominated the most-watched charts, claiming the top spot in 85 countries around the world as of December 11 (according to streaming data aggregator FlixPatrol). Directed by "Mr. Robot" creator Sam Esmail, the film also managed to impress critics, succeeding where other Netflix thrillers such as the disappointingly muddled "Reptile" failed.
The movie holds a 75% rating on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of writing, with critics praising Email's direction and the film's overall tone, which manages to establish a creeping sense of dread throughout. The performances were also singled out as a highlight, which is hardly surprising considering "Leave the World Behind" features one of the best casts yet assembled by Netflix. With Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, Myha'la, and Kevin Bacon, even if the script and direction were complete rubbish,...

Leave The World Behind: Director Sam Esmail Opens Up About Friends Reference In Julia Roberts Starrer! (Picture Credit: IMDb)
Netflix’s dystopian science-fiction movie Leave the World Behind, starring Mahershala Ali, Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, Myha’la Jael Herrold, and Kevin Bacon, has garnered rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. Based on the award-winning book by Rumaan Alam of the same name, the film follows two families as they cope with an impending apocalypse.
Leave the World Behind sees Julia Roberts play Amanda Sandford, a privileged white woman, the type the internet prefers to call ‘Karen’, who takes her family —her husband Clay (Ethan Hawke) and two kids, Archie (Charlie Evans) and Rose (Farrah Mackenzie)— to a weekend getaway to a Long Island beach house. Amanda gets the shock of her life when G.H. Scott (Mahershala Ali), claiming to be the property owner, shows up with his...

[This story contains spoilers for Leave the World Behind.]
Sam Esmail’s Leave the World Behind currently ranks atop Netflix’s film chart, and longtime fans of the filmmaker are now decoding its place in his greater universe of storytelling.
Ten minutes into the thriller, Mr. Robot buffs likely picked up on a familiar site: a yellow emergency preparedness kit with the branding of the USA series’ villainous corporation, E-Corp. That bucket would serve as one of several early signals that a cyberattack would incite the film’s imminent disaster and systematic destabilization of the United States. Esmail had already wanted to make a disaster film that revolved around a cyberattack, and when he read Rumaan Alam’s novel, Leave the World Behind, he knew he could merge that idea with his existing universe of stories, not just Mr. Robot.
“It felt pretty natural, and to be honest with you, I didn’t just do it with Mr.
