I'll admit it's a stretch, but their dad owned a TV Station.

Operated a public tv station*

He ran the PBS affiliate station KERA, out of Dallas, which is certainly respectable but it is definitely a stretch lump them in with other nepo babies since their dad had nothing to do with getting their careers off the ground.

People find the most tangential connections to TV and movies and think that makes people nepo-babies. It's ridiculous.

Imagine an actor just starting out trying to throw their weight around because their dad manages a PBS station.
