DENIED! An embarrassed Roberts is turned away from the bakery (Splash News)
Wait in line with the plebes? But I’m an actress!
Julia Roberts’ niece and “We’re the Millers” star, Emma Roberts, had a healthy reality check yesterday when she pulled a “Do you know who I am?” and tried to skip the line of people queued for an elusive cronut outside the Domonique Ansel Bakery in Soho, according to reports.
The $5 half-donut, half-croissant is so popular, fans spend up to three hours every day lining up for the treat.
Upon seeing the crowd, Roberts and her publicist reportedly bee-lined it straight to the door for the A-list treatment.
But the bakery’s security would have none of it and sent the 22-year-old back to the end of the line. She eventually walked away empty handed.
The bakery produces only 250 cronuts a day — and there’s a limit of two per person. Lines for cronuts can stretch down the entire block of Spring street in Soho and the demand has led line-sitting entrepreneurs to charge $50 to hungry sweet tooths not willing to wait.
Roberts was arrested last month on domestic violence charges after a reported fight with her beau Evan Peters at a Montreal hotel. Peters did not want to press charges and Roberts was released.
Roberts and Peters later released a statement saying, “It was an unfortunate incident and misunderstanding.”
