  "account": "Sylvester Stallone has responded to accusations of nepotism surrounding his daughter Scarlet's role in the Paramount+ series Tulsa King. The character, Spencer, is portrayed by 24-year-old Scarlet Rose Stallone, who initially appeared in her father's 2014 film Reach Me as a young girl. During an interview with USA Today, Stallone dismissed the criticism, stating that it is natural for parents to provide their children with opportunities. He insisted that he only wants what is best for his children and that he is only performing the role of a parent. Stallone also revealed that his daughters have already appeared in a few small roles in films and TV shows, with one daughter, Sistine, appearing on CBS Sunday Morning at 92NY. The series Tulsa King has been renewed for a fifth season, and Scarlet has been promoted to series regular for the upcoming season.",
