18-Year-Old Piper Rockelle slams critics over OnlyFans
Piper Rockelle made her OnlyFans debut on January 1, 2026. She claimed that she earned over $2.5 million on her debut day. This claim has been widely disputed by fans and other creators. She has also since deleted the screenshots of her earnings.
Rockelle rose to prominence as a child star in videos posted by her mother, Tiffany Smith. They were later the subject of Netflix’s Bad Influence. However, due to Rockelle’s origin as a child star who transitioned to the adult platform, there was a wave of backlash against her.
She responded to the critics in her interview with Rolling Stone. “If you don’t accept me, you don’t have to be here,” she said, before adding that people were “having a harder time letting my childhood go than me.” “I think that’s understandable. But I’m not going to be a kid forever,” she continued, “I understand that it might be hard for some people to see someone who they’ve grown up with have so many different weird little lifestyles that they’ve had. But there’s a lot of amazing people out there that are very accepting.”
She added, “The people who have taken time to bash me on the internet and say that I’ve been exploited my whole entire life and say that I did this and this and this and this, they can’t turn around and become an OnlyFans model. They can’t do that because they’ve preached their whole entire lives about not exploiting yourself and not showing off your body. It’s just proving everybody wrong.”
She also addressed the concerns that other young creators would follow her example and go down the path of OnlyFans. “I can’t influence anyone to do anything,” she said, “If they want to be like me, then be like me. That’s their choice. I try to just preach what makes me feel better.”
