Piper Rockelle Smith (born August 21, 2007) is an American model, singer and social media personality. Between 2017 and 2020, she made content with "Piper's Squad", a group of content creators; a subsequent lawsuit by its members against her mother was portrayed in the 2025 Netflix series Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing. She has also filmed content with the Bop House. In 2025, she transitioned to the adult entertainment industry.

Early life

[edit]

Piper Rockelle Smith[1] was born in Georgia on August 21, 2007,[2] and raised in Canton, Georgia.[3] Her father left before she was born[3] and her mother Tiffany Smith owned a pet grooming business and homeschooled her.[4] Rockelle began entering beauty pageants aged three and posting on social media and making content aged eight.[4] Her earliest content was uploaded to TikTok, then known as Musical.ly.[4] Within a few years, she had filmed for the Lifetime YouTube series Dance Twins[5] and created accounts on YouTube and Instagram. Her mother managed all her social media accounts.[4]

Career

[edit]

2017–2024: Beginnings and breakthrough

[edit]

Aged ten, Rockelle appeared in Mani, a web series[6] she later left at her mother's behest, as she objected to Rockelle receiving fewer lines than another actress.[3] The pair later moved to Los Angeles for Rockelle's career.[4] Around this time, Tiffany began dating video editor Hunter Hill, who was erroneously introduced in Rockelle's content as her older brother. Between then and 2020, Rockelle had a group of friends who called themselves "Piper's Squad" and regularly appeared in her content; frequent guests included Elliana Walmsley and Jenna Davis.[7] The group's output included viral challenges, dances, pranks, and dating content including kissing.[4] Rockelle also released music including the 2019 single "Treat Myself"[3] and acted in the web series Chicken Girls.[4]

By January 2022, Rockelle was earning between $4.2 and $7.5 million per year.[8] That same year, 11 families of Squad members sued Tiffany and Hill for abuse,[2] following which YouTube demonetized Rockelle's account.[4] The lawsuit was settled outside of court in 2024 for $1.85 million, which was split among the 11 plaintiffs. A documentary series titled Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing was released by Netflix in April 2025.[3] Rockelle uploaded her final video to YouTube before Christmas 2024.[9]

2025–present: Transition to adult entertainment

[edit]

By February 2025, she had filmed TikTok videos with the Bop House, a collective of OnlyFans creators founded by Sophie Rain[3] that Rockelle subsequently joined in December.[10] By May 2025, she had opened accounts on both BrandArmy,[3] an OnlyFansesque subscriber-based social medium that did not allow nude content,[11][12] and on Snapchat.[3] People reported that month that her BrandArmy account was labeled as "parent managed" and that subscribers to the highest tier could request "custom looks".[12]

Just before her 18th birthday, she began posting about opening an OnlyFans account of her own, following Lil Tay launching an account on her 18th.[2] She opened the account on January 1, 2026, and promoted it with an Instagram video featuring her grandmother.[13] She subsequently claimed to have made from the site $1 million in less than an hour and nearly $3 million on her first day,[9] though both tweets were subsequently deleted.[13][9] Following backlash, she stated that "the real gross one[s]" were those behind the demand for her content,[14] that she had delayed joining the site to keep open the possibility of acting professionally, and that she joined the site after finding that her past was obstructing her from doing so.[15] The following month, Rockelle was the subject of a Nightline episode in which she discussed her career with Juju Chang.[16] The Independent reported shortly after launch that her OnlyFans bio promised that she would "take it all off";[13] however, when asked on her Nightline episode, she stated that she had not yet begun posting nudity.[17][18]

Personal life

[edit]

At 17 years old, she began dating Capri Jones[6] after hiring him to play her boyfriend and realizing they liked each other; he began appearing regularly on her content in March 2025.[19] By January 2026, she had begun dating Syracuse-based Twitch streamer Rakai, with whom she went official at Super Bowl LX.[20]
