YouTube Star Piper Rockelle's Mom Settles $1.85M Abuse Lawsuit

Tiffany Smith reached a settlement with 11 young creators who accused her of abuse and exploitation while working on her daughter's YouTube channel.

Tiffany Smith, mother of YouTuber Piper Rockelle, settled a lawsuit for $1.85 million with 11 teen creators alleging abuse and exploitation.
The lawsuit accused Smith of creating an abusive environment, including making inappropriate sexual comments and failing to compensate the teens for their work.
The plaintiffs were part of the 'Piper Squad,' featured on Rockelle's channel, which has grown to 12 million subscribers.
Smith denied wrongdoing as part of the settlement and had previously countersued for $30 million, a lawsuit she later dropped.
The case highlights the need for regulations in the child influencer industry, with recent California laws aiming to protect child content creators' earnings.
