Ali and Ana Abulaban have it all -- great jobs, a beautiful young daughter and the promise of stardom. A TikTok creator who gained popularity under the username JinnKid in late 2019, Ali is known for his viral Skyrim and Scarface comedic impressions, often featuring his beautiful wife, Ana. To his fans, Ali is talented, funny, charismatic and has a picture-perfect relationship with the modelesque Ana. They seemingly have it all, but not everything online is as it seems. Under the surface is a relationship falling apart, full of domestic violence, and Ali is filming it -- disturbing never-before-seen footage of private fights from his cell phone. Narcissism, addiction and crippling jealousy all play a role in Ali's desire for control and fame, while Ana seeks independence and a happy life for her and her daughter. The relationship disintegrates, and in October of 2021, the abuse takes a deadly turn that leaves two people dead, and another facing a lifetime behind bars.

Nick Schager The Daily Beast A 21st-century cautionary tale about the desire for fame and the platforms which make that dream seem so easily attainable. Jun 21, 2024 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix TikTok Star Murders has a tabloid-like focus on the most sensationalistic aspects of this notorious case and leaves out many important facts. This documentary mostly ignores Rayburn Barron, the other victim in this double homicide. Jul 8, 2024 Full Review Radhika Menon Decider For true crime ‘heads, this story shows the perils of unchecked thirst for stardom and the pitfalls of a chronically online life.

Scot D Keep in mind this is not an objective documentary. It is carefully edited and one-sided. However, that does not excuse the horrors inflicted by Ali Abulaban. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review B P New True Crime Documentary Exposes The Dark Side of Social Media Stardom. This true crime documentary is equal parts compelling and heartbreaking.
