At some point during our childhood, we all were probably grounded at least once, but I’m willing to bet none of you were grounded for trying to charter a helicopter on your dad’s credit card.
16-year-old Romy, daughter of filmmaker Sofia Coppola, went viral on TikTok back in March after she shared a video complaining about how she was grounded for trying to charter a helicopter from New York to Maryland.
Why? So she could have dinner with a friend from camp. She revealed she decided to tell everyone on TikTok because she was “already grounded” and her parents’ biggest rule is that she’s not allowed to have any public social media accounts.
She also accused her parents of never being home. Yikes.
That was back in March though, and now finally, several months later, Sofia is talking about the embarrassing incident. While speaking with The Hollywood Reporter about her upcoming film, Priscilla, Sofia addressed her daughter’s comments.
We were raised to be so private and social media is so opposite of how I grew up. So, it was the best way for her to be rebellious. I got a lot of compliments on her filmmaking. And comedy. She’s funny. But people discussing my parenting publicly is not what I would’ve hoped for.
Hopefully they’ve worked things out since then. Honestly, sounds like Romy may have been seeking attention from her parents, and she knew that would be the best way to get it.
In addition to Romy, Sofia also shares 12-year-old Cosima with her husband, Thomas Mars.
