Mom Pimps Out 10yo Daughter to ‘Sugar Daddy’ for Gucci Bags?

Netflix’s documentary “Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing” has brought fresh attention to accusations towards Piper Rockelle’s manager, Tiffany Smith. Among these allegations is one suggesting that she communicated with an adult identified as “Megan” online, a matter that some viewers might find troubling. (Please be advised: this content may contain distressing details.)

Previously this year, the series “Devil in the Family” on Hulu brought attention back to the topic of young people using social media, delving into the crimes committed by Ruby Franke. More recently, it’s been brought back into the limelight due to the show “Bad Influence”.

The three-part documentary series focuses on Piper Rockelle and her team, known as The Squad, a collective of young internet sensations who amassed billions of views and made millions online. But off-camera, their world wasn’t nearly as carefree as it appeared in their online content.

As a gamer speaking about my personal life, let me share some troubling news: My mom, Tiffany Smith, has been accused of some serious offenses, including exploitation, manipulation, and sexual abuse. One of the most shocking allegations is that she knowingly placed me in dangerous situations and even had interactions with a possible pedophile.

Who is “Megan” in Bad Influence?

In a different term, “Megan” is the pseudonym employed by an older male admirer of Piper Rockelle, who used to send her presents. Smith stands accused of exploiting this situation, going as far as sending pictures of his 10-year-old daughter in exchange for costly gifts.

In the book “Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing”, Ashley Rock Smith, Smith’s sister-in-law, remembers finding Piper engulfed by stacks of presents.

She recalls noticing a plush pink flamingo, assorted toys, and numerous squishy items. These gifts were presented to them by a well-wisher named Megan, as she herself mentioned.

Previously associated with the Squad, Sophie Fergi comments, “I didn’t get a chance to see Megan’s appearance. For some time, I believed Megan was a female fan, unaware that they were actually an older man.

A troubling set of screenshots reveals conversations between “Megan” and someone else on social media platforms. One instance is an Instagram post featuring Piper clutching a banana squeezer, with the caption tagging this person as “The Banana King.” The caption also reads, “Greetings to my buddy ‘The Banana King,’ thanks so much, you’re absolutely fantastic!” in praise.

In a comment beneath one of Gavin Magnus’ posts, “Megan” asked, “Gavin, when will you and Piper share swimsuit pictures?

Sophie’s mom, Heather Nichole (formerly known as The Squad’s stylist), mentioned that there’s an individual posing as a girl, professing to be a fan of Piper Rockelle online, and this person even has multiple images of Piper.

Tiffany stated, “He’s fond of images of Piper. He could be considered her stalker. If you send him photos, you might receive things in return. It’s not harmful, it’s just additional pictures from photo shoots. However, he has inappropriate tendencies.” Essentially, she was aware that he had inappropriate inclinations.

Tiffany managed to secure a Gucci bag from Megan simply by flirting with her and sending her photos. Similarly, Piper also received a Gucci bag.”

This version maintains the original meaning but uses clearer language that is easy to understand for readers.

Megan showered Piper with an assortment of extraordinary presents: new laptops, new cameras, camera lenses, microphones, and even iPhones if needed. To top it off, she also bought her hoverboards. Essentially, anything on Piper’s wish list was acquired by Megan.

When “Megan” tried to reach out to Sophie, Heather says she blocked him right away. 

According to Corinne Joy, a previous member of the group, Tiffany allegedly permitted this man to have phone conversations with Piper.

Often, Tiffany would tell Piper, “Megan’s on the phone,” at which point Piper would get up and say, “Hello, Megan.” According to her.

What adds to the astonishment is that it’s claimed “Megan” might not be the only grown-up individual Tiffany had been conversing with.

As a gamer, I remember a moment when my daughter Corinne walked in the door and posed me this curious question: “Mom, why do some older guys find underwear interesting?

The question originated following rumors that Tiffany had posted Piper’s undergarments online. Upon inquiring about this with Piper’s mother, she is said to have responded, “Try to be less melodramatic.

Tiffany Smith faces backlash from Netflix viewers

The Netflix documentary series has stirred up strong reactions among viewers, as numerous people have voiced their disapproval towards Tiffany Smith due to the multiple accusations leveled against her.

On TikTok, someone commented that Piper effectively had an older benefactor while she was very young. Meanwhile, on Twitter, another user stated, “Her mother has been exploiting her as if she were a child prostitute. The fact that Megan is male doesn’t change my astonishment.

A third person stated, “Tiffany Smith is truly despicable and detestable,” while a fourth remarked, “May Tiffany Smith experience the most severe karmic retribution possible; I believe she deserves to spend time in prison.

Previously, Smith maintained her innocence regarding any misconduct, and she chose not to participate in an interview for the series titled ‘Bad Influence’.

At the conclusion of the documentary, it is noted that Tiffany Smith, Hunter Hill, and Piper Rockelle chose not to participate in the interviews or offer comments for this particular series, as represented by their legal representative.

Tiffany Smith openly refutes the claims made by ex-Squad members and their families, while she and Hunter Hill similarly reject the accusations presented in the 2022 lawsuit.

“No criminal charges have been filed against either party.”
