#Momager Mayhem: The Dark Truth Behind Piper Rockelle’s YouTube Fame (Bad Influence Ep. 1 Recap)
Manage episode 498502519 series 2614097
What do you get when you mix a YouTube-famous 10-year-old, an overbearing stage mom, and millions of views? You get Piper Rockelle, The Squad, and the chaos of Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing—Netflix’s docuseries that exposes the disturbing reality behind viral childhood fame.
In this episode, we’re diving into Episode 1: #Momager, where we meet Tiffany Smith, Piper’s momager-slash-mastermind, who built an influencer empire—and may have shattered a few childhoods along the way.
We’re talking:
Pageant moms turned power-hungry content creators
Kids filming until 2 a.m. for “exposure”
Puppet dogs used to emotionally manipulate children (yep, you read that right)
Early signs of toxic control that set the tone for everything that followed
If you thought slime videos and prank wars were harmless, think again.
🎧 Don’t forget to rate, review, and follow—and check out our YouTube for more true crime breakdowns that’ll leave you yelling at your phone.
