by

The latest Netflix documentary series, titled “Bad Influence: Unveiling the Dark Side of Kidfluencing“, has been making waves on the streaming platform. With a vast collection of true-crime documentaries, this series is currently occupying the third position among Netflix’s most popular TV shows. Other shows in the top list include recent favorites such as “Adolescence“, “Black Mirror“, and “Love on the Spectrum“.

The emotional documentary series titled “Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing” chronicles the life of young celebrity Piper Rockelle, who was propelled to stardom by her mother’s ambition. However, it wasn’t just Piper’s own efforts that led to her success; her friends were strategically chosen to keep up with popular trends on YouTube. The creative minds behind this were Tiffany Smith, Piper’s mother, and Hunter Hill, a camera operator and Tiffany’s partner, who orchestrated “The Squad,” the close-knit group that often acted out pre-written scripts, ranging from humorous to questionable scenarios.

It wasn’t until some ex-members of The Squad started sharing their experiences that allegations about Piper Rockelle and Tiffany Smith emerged. Eventually, some parents from The Squad’s acting group decided it was time for action. However, when an inquiry was launched to see if Tiffany owed money to her fellow creators, the children stepped forward, disclosing that they had been subjected to emotional and sexual abuse by Tiffany on set.

Where Are Piper Rockelle and Tiffany Smith Today?

Following the disclosure of the traumatic event, the dynamic shifted significantly for the team responsible for the Piper Rockelle craze. Despite no longer receiving monetization from YouTube, Piper continues to generate income through various other channels. Her public image has not been severely impacted by the media uproar, and it appears that life inside her follower community remains relatively unaffected. She continues to be active on social media platforms, with millions of devoted followers eagerly consuming her content. However, this situation remains a subject of debate due to the controversial nature of some of her content, given that Piper Rockelle is still a minor, and certain videos have been deemed inappropriately suggestive.

As a movie enthusiast, I found the documentary to be an eye-opening exploration into the dark reality hidden behind the glossy facade of certain social media content. It’s not just about financial gain; it’s a complex web that becomes more troubling as you delve deeper. Regrettably, there are viewers who continue to fuel this phenomenon known as “kidfluencing”. Some might be innocently enjoying their idols, but there are others who exploit these platforms for sinister intentions.
