Chanel Ali: Relative Stranger

Relative Stranger details Chanel’s tumultuous foster care childhood, her mother’s untimely slip into schizophrenia, and a court ordered paternity test that led her to meet her cop dad when she was 18 years old.

In 2023, Chanel starred in a commercial for 23andMe. That commercial opportunity led her to a shocking revelation: she had a 30-year-old brother whom she had never heard of. After connecting with her new brother, Chanel realized they have the same father, an award-winning, handsome, community hero police officer who seems wholly unable to accept the idea that his past has caught up to him.
