Ep 137: TikTok Star Murders (Peacock, 2024)

from Midday Movies · host Laura Fones and Stephen Frothingham

Today we’re discussing the content of Peacock’s new true crime documentary, “TikTok Star Murders.” Produced by 50 Cent, this social media documentary follows the tragic, ultimately-fatal relationship roller coaster of TikTok content creator JinnKid (Ali Abulaban) and his wife Ana. Culminating in a shocking double homicide in San Diego’s luxury Spire residences, this true story unfolds through TikTok content and damning private recordings created by the perpetrator himself. A tale of dangerous personality, social media obsession, and deteriorating mental health, viewers will be riveted by such intimate insight into an all too common category of crime. We discuss the material and mental health dangers of social media consumption (and Scarface fandom) and whether TikTok is safe for anyone. Content warning for domestic violence, drug use, and femicide.Follow us on your favorite podcast platform for more!⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@middaymusingspod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linktree⁠: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/middaymusingspod⁠⁠
