Here are some photos of Emma Roberts pulling a strange face as she and Evan Peters arrive back in New Orleans (where they shoot American Horror Story: Coven) on Sunday. Emma’s dramatic facial expression may be because she’s hauling luggage, which just happens to be one of those Lulu Guiness lip spinner suitcases. Excuse my stereotype, but I have a mental image of anyone who uses a lip-indented suitcase as being a big drama queen. Which is pretty much how I feel about Emma herself.
Remember, it was only last July when Emma and Evan had a big blowout at a Canadian hotel. Emma was arrested for domestic violence when police determined she bit and punched Evan, and he declined to press charges. Then her people tried to push a story that Emma and Evan simply enjoyed a a “passionate” and “extreme” relationship. These two have since been photographed canoodling and packing on the PDA in public and on the AHS set. Emma later appeared on the cover of Nylon with a hilarious and sad interview about how she still “believed in the romantic movie outcome.” Well now she’s getting that “happy ending.” Evan asked Emma to marry him, and she accepted:
Actress Emma Roberts, 22, and boyfriend Evan Peters, 26, are reportedly engaged.
Extra hears that Peters popped the question with a pink gold diamond ring over the holidays in New York City. The couple then spent New Year’s in London.
The couple were recently spotted filming their FX show American Horror Story: Coven in New Orleans, and Roberts was wearing a ring on her left hand.
Roberts and Peters began dating in 2012. No details yet on when the couple will tie the knot.

Uh. Congrats? Damn, this wedding is going to be a righteous mess. Maybe Aunt Julia will stop by and add even more drama to the event. Julia’s pretty impulsively romantic, so maybe Emma comes by that quality honestly. I still find it quite worrisome that these two stuck together after Emma essentially beat the crap out of Evan last summer. I don’t care if it’s the male or female who deals out the physical abuse — when the first punch is thrown, a relationship needs to end. Instead, Emma and Evan are getting hitched. Crazy.

Is she purposely patterning herself after her aunt, because I doubt it will lead to the same results.. I may not like her, but her aunt can act…
I saw mirror mirror and I beg to differ. And Emma can act. She’s not bad. Not great, but not bad.
Ha, okay I haven’t seen the movie but will take your word for it.
They should not get married. Chances are, that wasn’t the first case of the abuse. It was just the first documented one. I hope they get some extensive therapy if they do go through with this.
Abuse is abuse. Just because she’s a wee thing doesn’t give her the right to abuse a man. Dude needs to wake up. She’s not going to change or get better anytime soon.
Yeahhh
Abuse and violence are NOT passion. I friggin hate that excuse for staying in an abusive relationship.
Best I can say is I hope she has gotten help and genuinely changed.
Wasn’t her father well-known to be a crazy violent type?
Eric Roberts had a notorious drug problem. His past includes attempted assault on a police officer, and an incident of shoving his wife against a wall (he was arrested but I can’t find info on whether he was convicted). He’s a great actor, and I always took his side against Julia – mostly because I read a biography on Julia Roberts that seemed to be sympathetic toward Eric, and mentioned problems in their relationship other than the frequently cited ones.
This whole situation is fascinating from a psychological standpoint. If Emma witnessed her mother being abused when she was a child, or if she herself was abused as a child, the typical result would have been for her to seek out abusive partners. I know very little of the psychology that leads an adult male to tolerate domestic abuse from a female partner. It would be nice for our resident Psychiatrist to chime in here.
mayamae – Victims of abuse (physical or otherwise) are also more likely become abusers themselves.
In response to the last part of your comment, male victims of abuse often do not report it due to the stigma. I would not be surprised at all if Evan feels embarrassed or pressured to ignore it due to his gender.
Agreed…they should not get married. Bad track record already, and they’re only in their 20s, which means they still have not landed on earth yet. Their needs and desires are still in flux and I just don’t see marriage as a good idea right now. Throw in the actor/actress thing where they might be separated for periods of time while filming, and boom….a recipe for disaster.
Emma has gotten very tiny over the past few years and quite dramatic in her personal life.
I’m surprised that he’s proposed. Imagine if the roles were reversed and he was the one who bit her and then hit her?! I’m sure the gossip websites wouldn’t still be fawning over this couple and talking about how great they are together .
@Anna: THIS. Makes me sick that the press supports her behavior.
It’s a double standard. Domestic violence against men often isn’t seen as “real” violence. (Not to mention that people have enough trouble recognizing violence against women. Chris Brown, anyone?)
personally i think its too soon. they probably talked about the violence and reconciled and that gave them a rush of nice feelings BOOM engaged.
oh jesus christ.
THIS^^^
Oh dear. If I was publicly caught beating up my boyfriend, let alone in the privacy of my own home, I would not be thinking about getting engaged—I’d wait at least a year for that. I highly doubt that they’ve worked out their issues. This isn’t going to end well.
It’ll be great! They’re not too young and they have such a healthy, happy relationship! Oh wait…
Nothing was ever more “MORE THAN”, than when we were in our early 20s was it? 😉
They’ll learn, hopefully with the least pain possible (and without the violence please).
My take is she is needy and has too much drama going on, he seems like he will do whatever it takes to please her. Far too young at 22 and 26 you don’t even know who you ARE yet. Run for the hills you will thank me in a couple of years.
22 is not 18. I got married at 22 a year after I graduated college and had a good job. My hubby was 24 and we have been together 4 years now and life is great. I think rather than age it comes down to personal maturity.
We’re getting married this summer. We’ll both be 24. Own a house, two cars, have pretty decent jobs. Just because a lot of people aren’t put together in their 20s, it doesn’t mean it’s always the case. My best friend got married at 21, is 23, and just had her first baby. Our other closest friends will be 24 when they get married this summer as well. We all are professionals, and have our shit together. We’re honestly more mature than most of the 30-40 year olds I’m working with.
Agreed. I got married at 24. We bought a house together, had stable careers, and good finances. If they are mental and emotional mature I see no issues. My husband and I were also together throughout our university days though. We didn’t just date for a year and get engaged. Also, no assault history… That’s troubling.
This won’t end well for them.
26 is not necessarily super young, I mean for me personally it would be too young to get married but generally speaking everything older than 25 is okay. But 22 is insane, she is barely out of her teens and after her abusing him this is the worst idea. If he would have beaten the crap out of her they would not be dating anymore because of the public pressure.
I agree with you completely Karolina.
Congrats, Erinn! Best wishes for a lovely wedding!
LOL I was going to warn you, people will jump all over you for that statement with a heaping pile of defensiveness and anecdotal evidence 😉
Might I add: everyone is different and I’m sure you’re all doing the right thing in your lives. 😀
“Far too young at 22 and 26 you don’t even know who you ARE yet. ”
I disagree. I married when I was older, so I’m not being defensive about this. Western society continues to infantalize young adults for reasons that I can not fathom, and can not endorse. Maybe it’s because the economy is hard and so many young adults have not yet achieved the hallmarks of “maturity” (a stable job, moving out of their parents’ home, professional quaifications). Nonetheless, I wish we’d stop treating people in their twenties as if they are children who are incapable of taking responsibility for their personal and professional successes and failures.
That being said … these two should not get married. The relationship dynamic seems far too volatile. I am glad that the celebitchy writers did acknowledge Roberts’ abuse of Peters. I was pretty critical of the tone initially taken by this site that seemed to minimize her abuse, and I’m pleased that it’s not being ignored in the name of “good gossip.” Thanks.
I agree that if the roles were reversed, there would be more concern. Besides physical violence, there may be emotional abuse going on. If it’s this dramatic in the dating stage, then marriage will probably not help matters.
I’ve never really liked Emma Roberts. Of course nepotism runs rampant in Hollywood, but her career feels way to forced. I doubt they will actually make it to the altar, unless they elope. Emma looks like she might be a massive pain of a bride-to-be.
The coffee has not kicked in yet and my first reading of this headline was “Emma Roberts & Evan Peters got dramatically enraged over the holidays.”
I thought: And? Didn’t they get enraged another time and she physically attacked him? What’s different with this incident?
I need to drink my coffee before coming onto the Bitchy or unintentional hilarity can ensue.
Erp.
Look at the position of her hand – that’s not what a hand looks like when it’s carrying something. Pretty sure that suitcase was rolling and she was guiding it with her hand – and just grimacing to keep in practice.
Oh yeah – congratulations. Yikes.
It seems like she’s getting a bit of a pass on the domestic violence issue because she’s a young/rich/white woman? It’s totally unacceptable. That guy should leave her, but I know it’s easier said than done for a lot of people.
I’m not disagreeing with you, but I would add in the fact that she’s tiny, and is known to be the niece of a former America’s Sweetheart. I wonder how differently this would be treated if Emma was built more like Serena Williams. I think the perception is Evan could easily defend himself against someone her size. I don’t support that sentiment, but I think many do.
Wasn’t she abusive to her former boyfriend as well? I did a quick search and apparently she was abusive to her last two boyfriends:
Emma Roberts was recently arrested for domestic violence after allegedly getting into an altercation with her co-star boyfriend, Evan Peters.

http://www.celebitchy.com/206041/us_weekly_emma_roberts_was_a_complete_bitch_to_chord_overstreet/
Her history of domestic violence, as well as this recent incident with her now-fiancee does not bode well for their future as a couple, married or not. Making it legal only adds an extra layer of trouble imo. She strikes me as a spoiled and immature brat who thinks she can say and do whatever she wants, and that big dramatic relationships mean true love (and dramatic in her book includes biting, hiting and verbal abuse). Sad
The issue isn’t age. It’s the alleged drug abuse.
This right here … her anger issue. It has nothing to do with age. It has to do with what ever she is putting up her nose.
Run, Evan, run!!!
I bet this will be like the Miley/Liam engagement. She’ll flash the ring for a while, promise the wedding is still on, & eventually it will become clear that it ain’t gonna happen. At least I hope so, Evan is too good for her
“the run away bridegroom” staring the poor sap now engaged to the hair trigger tempered nepotism niece of that hollywood actress who made and wore the “aloe vera” shirt.
run Evan run. he won’t though because he stays for the abuse so he is controlled by her.
i don’t like her, her aunt or that suitcase.
“i don’t like her, her aunt or that suitcase.” That made me laugh.
don’t worry folks, engagement doesn’t mean “we’re getting married” anymore. for reasons that escape my understanding, these days it only means “at this point, we think we’ll get married someday, but we still have plenty of time to back out.”
I really hope they have their issues worked out now. Being abusive to your partner is completely unacceptable. I could never be with someone who didn’t think my physical safety was important. and I’m a belief that all physical abuse is also emotional abuse, which is something else I just couldn’t deal with.
Oh man. As much as it pains me to say it, I like her on this season’s AHS. It’s probably because she’s basically playing a more famous version of herself so it’s not too difficult. That said, I LOVE Evan on all three seasons so far and I hate to think of him being abused. He reminds me a lot of Patrick Fugit with his friendly face.
I don’t think this is a good idea, but I know a man who gets punched or slapped in every fight he has with his waify wife, and he always acts like he doesn’t mind, like it’s a non-issue because it doesn’t hurt. They also broke up and got back together about 2 dozen times before they were married (when we were closer), and she would verbally abuse him as well. It’s as if men don’t think they’re abuseable, or it doesn’t count if it doesn’t really hurt.
I just can’t get my head wrapped around why ~ANYONE~ male/female/straight/gay/rich/poor would stick around for even a nanosecond after their supposed ‘love’ beat the crap out of them. One hit, out the door, barring extreme and extremely ~rare~ exceptions (in the midst of true hysteria, someone get cold water in the face, a grab is acceptable if the other option is falling in front of a car, and to be fair, my husband HAS slugged me once. But since that was in the middle of a brawl and a nutter with a knife was charging around, I was trying to get some little girls out of range while the hubs and 8 other guys were trying to subdue the maniac, and I got clocked through a tangle of bodies and flailing limbs. Doesn’t really count, and the poor guy was a wreck for a week. The morning after when he saw the black eye, he sat on the bed and sobbed and 6 years later he still gets upset if it comes up.). MARRY the abuser? Just… why does anyone accept this anymore? What am I missing?
A 22-year-old getting married in Hollyweird. The marriage is domed. No way these two kids will stay together for the rest of their lives. I’d be surprised if they even make it down the aisle. I see this playing out the same way as Miley’s disastrous engagement to Liam Hemsworth.
I agree with you Bedhead, she seems like an arrogant, bratty drama queen. Personally, I think Evan Peters is making a big mistake, but, oh well…Maybe he will come to his senses before it’s too late?
Hot Mess….whether they are teens, 20s, 30s, — you get my drift. They are not compatible in any group.
This story makes me very, very sad.
Emma Robert’s is a well known domestic abuser-yes, women are perfectly capable of physically abusing their spouses too, no matter their “size” ugh-and the reports/police calls have not just come from the time she’s been with Evan.
Remember all the reports from the set of “Glee” and beyond of the constant emotional and verbal abuse that she subjected poor Chord Overstreet to during their relationship?? He eventually got out but then took her back. (A very common pattern for victims.)
It drives me crazy that her behavior gets so casually swept under the rug by the media or the men get the blame placed upon them for it (I vividly remember many commenters asking what EVAN could have done to “provoke” her assault on HIM at the time of the story. Seriously??) Victim blaming is never ok!
Classic example of gender/racial bias and exceptions at play here…I really hope that Evan changes his mind and gets out soon 🙁
Run away Evan! Run straight into my arms, I will never hurt you and I’m not that psycho.
I wonder how his family feels about this? I can’t imagine this would be happy news for them, knowing the woman he is going to marry assaulted their son. I hope Evan isn’t downplaying her assault on him because she is a woman, an abuser comes in all forms and gender. He should insist that before they end walk down the aisle to say their “I do’s” she attend behavior health therapy, because someone needs to get her help for that temper of hers before someone ends up in the hospital or worse. Chord Overstreet is should be thanking his lucky stars he is free from this woman. I don’t think this is a good thing for either of them, especially Evan. I really hope he rethinks this and decides to cool it for the time being.
good luck Madison & Kyle!!! 😉 you crazy kids lay off the telepathy & bludgeoning so you can have a
happily ever after, mkays! Lol 😀
Its not that crazy that they are getting married. In fact getting married is pretty much the only thing she can do now to save her reputation. What happened this summer is none of anyones business, but it was not good.
