[Trailer] Netflix’s New ‘Bad Influence’ Docuseries Explores the Dark Side of Kid Influencers

Netflix has revealed the first official trailer for its upcoming docuseries Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing. The series, which will premiere on April 9, dives into the disturbing world of child influencers and the pressures they face behind the camera.

This new series focuses on the controversial story of popular YouTuber Piper Rockelle and her mother-manager, Tiffany Smith. Known as part of a group called The Squad, Piper and her friends gained massive attention with their pranks, fun videos, and adventures in Los Angeles. They became a sensation, gathering billions of views and earning millions of dollars in the process.

However, as the series reveals, there were darker secrets behind their success. Bad Influence delves into the troubling stories of Piper’s former Squad members and their parents, who began to feel that something was wrong. Many claimed they were exploited and manipulated, with some even describing Tiffany Smith’s behavior as cult-like and abusive.

In the three-part docuseries, director Jenna Rosher and producer Kief Davidson peel back the curtain on the troubling allegations that surround Piper’s rise to fame. The series focuses on the troubling dynamics between Piper, her mother, and the children who were part of The Squad.

Piper Rockelle, now 17, started her career at the age of 8, quickly rising to fame through her YouTube channel and social media. She began with acting and dancing before transitioning to creating short-form content with the help of her mother and her mother’s boyfriend, Hunter Hill.

As she continued to post videos, Piper’s audience grew, and with it, her income. At one point, reports say that she earned over half a million dollars every month from brand deals and other online ventures.

The docuseries will expose the pressure and manipulation that led to Piper’s success, as well as the impact it had on her and the other young stars involved in her videos.

Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing promises to shine a light on the hidden and often dangerous world of child influencers.

The series will explore how their families and managers can take advantage of their fame, often putting their emotional and physical well-being at risk. With stories of exploitation and abuse, the series promises to reveal a side of the influencer world that has been kept hidden for too long.
