As for those curious about The Squad, here is all you need to know.

According to Netflix, Piper Rockelle’s rising stardom made her cross paths with The Squad, who would produce similar content, including skits and challenges, and even cross-promote each other’s channels and videos. Gradually some of them even moved in with Rockelle and her mother to boost their output. Members of The Squad include Sophie Fergi, Gavin Magnus, Sawyer Sharbino, Hayden Haas, Corinne Joy, Jentzen Ramirez, Claire Rock Smith, and Symonne Harrison, among others.

Though the content was harmless, many parents of The Squad eventually wanted to steer clear due to Rockelle’s mother, Tiffany Smith’s questionable attitude, mannerisms, and manipulative schemes. Parents pointed out Smith’s tendency to retaliate against those who questioned her judgement. Eventually, the claimants took the issue to the court, and three years ago, 11 of them took legal redress. As for what unfolded afterwards, readers can stream it all on Netflix as Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing premiered on April 9.
