Actor-comedian Adam Sandler's daughter got a lot of notoriety for her series, You are so not invited to my Bat Mitzvah, despite the show's high positive ratings due to audiences calling her role, "a nepo kid's privilege."

In response to this, Sandler has defended casting his daughters in starring roles alongside himself. Asked about the nepo kid controversy, Sandler had admitted that while he cast his friends and family members, he doesn't do it if he doesn't see any potential in them.

Adding to his rebuttal of the argument, the series producer-director Sammi Cohen also chimed in and said, "Sandler has a reputation for making movies with his friends, and that's something we all want to do. What I say is, he's still making movies with his friends, but they're his kids. He is the kind of dad who is also your best friend. When it comes to the sort of chatter we are hearing online, I don't think twice about it because I'm going like, ‘Yeah, he's doing the same thing he has always done'."

"Sandler was looking for a young Jewish director who could relate to the story of the kids, the culture and how everything needed to be told through a modern lens," she continued, adding that they creatively aligned after talking about being Jewish and how they listened to kids.
