After the overwhelming success of Adolescence, Netflix has once again stirred the pot with its latest deep-dive docuseries, Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing. This three-part exposé peels back the glossy façade of influencer culture, centering on unsettling claims made by former Piper Rockelle’s online circle members. As Netflix continues to dominate the spring content surge, this unsettling real-life tale has captured widespread attention. And just as curiosity peaks, Piper Rockelle, under intense scrutiny, has finally broken her silence.

Though Piper Rockelle avoided confronting the claims head-on, she hinted at her stance through veiled messages and other gestures.

Since the debut of Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing, Piper Rockelle has taken a cryptic approach to express her disapproval. Instead of confronting the docuseries directly, she turned to subtle symbolism, most notably mouthing the line “I don’t wanna be friends” from Lady Gaga’s 'Bad Romance' in a TikTok, a clear nod to fractured bonds. Through emotionally loaded captions, AI app chats, and melancholic song choices, the teen influencer appears to be pushing back quietly but deliberately against the explosive narrative now circling her world.

Piper Rockelle reflected on the breakup of a close-knit group while listening to Sydney Rose’s song 'We Hug Now,' which she suggested mirrored her fallout with the former Squad. Meanwhile, Tiffany Smith, Rockelle’s mother, shared her distress with PEOPLE, dismissing the claims in Bad Influence. She referenced a prior investigation that cleared them, calling the entire situation an unfortunate spectacle for Netflix. Amid these events, the co-director of Bad Influence offered her perspective on whether Rockelle could be viewed as a victim.
