The Time 100 list is not ranked. Rather, the annual list names 100 tech leaders, activists, actors, musicians and the occasional astronaut of both the NASA and idle rich varieties and hails them as the most important people of that year.
The video posted Monday on TikTok showed Cruz, his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, older brother Romeo and Romeo's girlfriend Kim Turnbull seeming to mock the family drama by mouthing along to the instrumental opening of "On The Block," a 2021 song by Lil Maru. The caption on the video read simply, "Imagine hating and we're just here like." Cruz's video wasn't loading on TikTok at publication time, but you can see what was going on via an X share from user @LucyLuMerrygold.
I do not want to reconcile with my family. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.
What a baffling documentary this is. It offers a surface-level explanation of the story (a young man severing ties with his apparently controlling family), which would have been handy for a mainstream novice audience, but the entire thing is fully geared towards the sort of terminally online person who already knows the drama in forensic detail, and those aren't people who are likely to watch Channel 4 on a midweek evening.
