Sylvester Stallone defends casting daughter in ‘Tulsa King’

Actor Sylvester Stallone has responded to criticism regarding nepotism after casting his daughter, Scarlet Rose Stallone, in the crime drama ‘Tulsa King’. The 80-year-old actor defended the decision, stating that parents naturally want to provide advantages for their children.

Scarlet Rose Stallone, 24, plays the character Spencer in the series. While she debuted in the first season, her role is expected to expand in the fourth season as her character becomes more involved in the show's criminal operations. Stallone noted that while he can provide the opportunity, the ability to maintain excellence is up to the individual performer.
