'Trust Fund Baby': Reese Witherspoon's Son Deacon Phillippe Slammed for Showing Off Ritzy New York Apartment
Deacon Phillippe is getting slapped with the "nepo baby" label.
Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's son, 20, allowed TikTok star Caleb Simpson to shoot a video tour of his luxurious apartment in New York City. However, the internet quickly called out how posh the place was for a college student.
"Occupation: nepo baby," one person commented below the video of the sprawling brownstone apartment with high ceilings and a spiral staircase.
"Rich kids / nepo babies LOVE to avoid mentioning their extremely wealthy parents," a second social media user pointed out.
"The trust fund baby life," another person added of the aspiring musician's big city pad where he resides while attending New York University.
"Let’s not forget that his mom and dad are wealthy celebrities," a fourth user said of the big-time Hollywood A-Listers.
In the video, Phillippe copped to paying "West Village prices" for the spacious apartment in the expensive area.
Despite the criticism, the famous offspring seems to have an excellent relationship with both the Legally Blonde actress, 47, and the Shooter star, 49 — who also share daughter Ava Phillippe, 24.

The Big Little Lies star has received tons of support from her kiddos following her shocking split from Jim Toth – with whom she shares son Tennessee, 11.
"It's been a difficult year for her. But leaning on her kids is helping," an insider explained of her eldest children. "She had them young and is enjoying this phase. Deacon is pursuing music, and Reese loves going to his gigs around town."
As OK! previously reported, the Election star and the businessman, 53, stunned the world when they called it quits in March after tying the knot in 2011.
