"It's weird to me to reduce somebody to the idea that they're only there because it's a generational thing. It just doesn't make any sense,” she said in her interview.

Lily-Rose added, "If somebody's mom or dad is a doctor, and then the kid becomes a doctor, you're not going to be like, 'Well, you're only a doctor because your parent is a doctor.' It's like, 'No, I went to medical school and trained.'"

"This is the problem with rich people born into privilege,” one user wrote on Twitter. “They have literally no perspective on what the average person has to do to just get the resources and opportunities they were born with.”
