Sometimes a mom’s gotta do what a mom’s gotta do.
Acclaimed filmmaker Sofia Coppola, 52, recently revisited the time she had to ground her 16-year-old daughter Romy after she went viral on TikTok for attempting to charter a helicopter.
While speaking with The Hollywood Reporter to promote her upcoming film “Priscilla” — which follows the love story between Elvis Presley and Priscilla Beaulieu — Coppola said the whole situation isn’t what she “hoped for.”

“We were raised to be so private and social media is so opposite of how I grew up,” she explained. “So, it was the best way for her to be rebellious.”
Coppola would have preferred if her parenting wasn’t in the public eye, sharing: “I got a lot of compliments on her filmmaking. And comedy. She’s funny. But people discussing my parenting publicly is not what I would’ve hoped for.”
Back in March, Romy took to TikTok in a since-deleted clip to make the fact that she was grounded public.
Coppola’s daughter then explained that she was grounded because she “tried to charter a helicopter from New York to Maryland on my dad’s credit card because I wanted to have dinner with my camp friend.”

Romy then went on to explain that her parent’s biggest rule was for her not to have any public social media accounts. When explaining why, she flashed a Grammy award to the camera and stated: “Because they don’t want me to be a nepotism kid, but TikTok is not gonna make me famous, so it doesn’t really matter.”
She even said her parents were never home, so her babysitter’s

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Fresh off the world premiere of her last directorial effort, “Priscilla,” at the Venice Film Festival (where star Cailee Spaeny won best actress), Sofia Coppola joined Rolling Stone to reflect on the 20th anniversary of her beloved “Lost in Translation.” Coppola, whose script for “Lost in Translation” won the Oscar for original screenplay, partly used the dissolution of her marriage to fellow director Spike Jonze as inspiration for the film, which follows a college graduate (Scarlett Johansson) who accompanies her celebrity photographer boyfriend (Giovanni Ribisi) on a trip to Tokyo. While he’s out flirting with a Hollywood actress (Anna Farris), she befriends a faded movie star (Bill Murray) who’s in town to shoot a commercial. Since the film premiered in 2023, viewers have associated Johansson’s character with Coppola and Ribisi’s with Jonze.

Sofia Coppola’s new film about Priscilla Presley is earning rave reviews.
The tears flowed for Priscilla Presley following the world premiere of Sofia Coppola’s biopic, “Priscilla”, in Venice on Monday.
Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla got a rousing response at its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on Monday evening. The pic, a biopic of Priscilla Presley, who was in attendance for the move based on the memoir she co-authored, scored a 7-minute, 45-second ovation.
Priscilla Presley was all shook up at the Venice Film Festival premiere of “Priscilla.” The subject of Sofia Coppola’s drama wiped away tears from her face on Monday night in Italy as the audience on the Lido exploded in a 7-minute standing ovation for the A24 indie film. Coppola and Presley attended the premiere alongside Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi, who star as Priscilla and Elvis. The actors were granted a SAG-AFTRA waiver to promote the film amid the strike.
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic The last time Sofia Coppola made a movie about a teenage royal living in a rococo palace that turned out to be a lavish prison, it was 2006, and the movie, “Marie Antoinette,” was a stylized dream of history — the story of the young queen as naïve and isolated rock star.

Always the pills: squeezed in a palm that opens to reveal its little white prize; lined up in bottles on the bedside table; slipped into a pocket on the way to school. “Maybe the pills are too much,” ventures Priscilla Beaulieu to her boyfriend Elvis Presley, after one of his flares of temper where she just manages to dodge his fist. “I have doctors looking after me,” he growls. “I don’t need a second opinion.”
The most powerful aspect of Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla,” premiering in Competition at this year’s Venice Film Festival, is in the title: to focus on Priscilla Presley, née Wagner, formerly Beaulieu, is to show a side of a marriage and of the King himself less familiar than and in some ways different from the romantic popular legend. But Coppola’s film does much more than simply show us the facts of how a fourteen-year-old girl gets to become the girlfriend and then wife of one of the biggest artists of all time.
Although she wasn’t seated at the dais this afternoon, and rather in the audience, Priscilla Presley loomed large over the Venice press conference for Sofia Coppola’s film, Priscilla, which screens in competition here tonight.
