Influencer Piper Rockelle has a lot to celebrate in 2026.
On Thursday, January 1, Rockelle shared a tweet that included a screenshot of her alleged earnings from her first day on OnlyFans. According to the image, the influencer made $2.9 million in under 12 hours on the adult content platform.
The update came after Rockelle teased she would be joining the platform in December. When the clock struck midnight on January 1, 2026, she shared a link to her OnlyFans account, confirming she had joined the platform.
Rockelle is no stranger to the internet and social media. She sprang to online notoriety a decade ago when her mother, Tiffany Smith, began sharing videos of her on YouTube. As a teen she began making content with several other similarly-aged influencers known as the Piper Squad.
In 2022, 11 members of the Piper Squad filed a lawsuit against Smith alleging they dealt with “inappropriate, offensive and abusive treatment” that included “wildly offensive and sexually explicit comments.” Smith denied the allegations and settled out of court for almost $2 million in October 2024.
In May 2024, Rockelle told Rolling Stone her former friends were “stretching the truth” about their encounters with her mom and her mom’s boyfriend Hunter Hill.
“They’re not making it up, but they’re extending the truth,” Rockelle stated in the interview. “I was there. I witnessed it every day … I think that they believe what they are saying, but I was there and I saw everything.”
Rockelle then elaborated on whether her mother would say sexually suggestive remarks to the young adults while filming.

“I don’t really think I should answer that yet … I think I should wait until I’m old enough to speak about it,” she said at the time.
Rockelle also told Rolling Stone that her mother sold her underwear to men online, allegations that were raised in Netflix’s documentary Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing.
The documentary also featured interviews with former members of Piper’s Squad, including Sophie Fergi, Corinne Joy and Raegan Beast, who were all part of the original lawsuit.
“Obviously we didn’t do anything that was alleged, but sadly, money is a big motivator for certain personalities in this world. We made the decision to put this behind us because honestly, prolonged litigation would be even more harmful and painful to everyone involved – which includes kids,” Smith said in a statement before the docuseries’ release. “Piper is a minor, and has already been through a great deal of unnecessary and harmful scrutiny. So we prioritized mental health, and made the decision to put this behind us and focus on the next phase of her career.”
Rockelle also told Rolling Stone, “You know where I live. Come get me if you want to save me. If you want to ‘Save Piper,’ stop talking please. Because by hurting my mother, you’re hurting a part of me.”
She continued: “That’s something I have to worry about is people coming and trying to take away my mother because they always envied my mom and I’s relationship. My father was never in my life so it’s always just been her. She somehow always has a way of making me feel better and making me feel like everything’s going to be OK.”
