Former federal legislator Shina Peller refutes rumors of a familial connection to a prominent TikTok personality sharing the surname.

The entertainment executive clarifies that, while the Peller family is extensive, this individual is not a relative.

In a recent Channels TV interview, Mr. Peller stated, “I am aware of the TikTok star, and many have inquired about a family relationship.”

“Truly, Professor Peller’s family is quite extended, but he is not a member of the family.

“The name ‘Peller’ was given to our father as a magician and it’s a name that the family has adopted since the time of my father.

“So, Peller, the comedian is not a member of the Peller family. It’s a successful name. He’s just being smart. He’s being able to pop with the name. You can’t blame him but I can tell you categorically that he’s not a member of the Peller family.”
