YouTuber Piper Rockelle, 17, Responds to Backlash About Collabing with OnlyFans Creators at Bop House

Rockelle posted multiple videos on TikTok with the content creators

Piper Rockelle is reacting to online criticism after she visited TikTok’s Bop House.

The 17-year-old — who has 13 million TikTok followers plus 5 million more on Instagram — recently received backlash after she visited Bop House and filmed videos with some of the residents. The women who live in the house (which has 3 million TikTok followers of its own) primarily make content for OnlyFans.

After posting a number of videos with the creators, Rockelle, who describes herself online as an actress/dancer/singer, reacted to the online criticism in a TikTok posted on Feb. 24. Over footage of herself, she wrote, “How many times are they going to cry [about] me being in the bop house.” She then pretended to cry while some of the Bop House creators joined her to dance.

Bop House creator Sophie Rain, 20, wrote in the comments of the video, “and she came to my house not even the bop house.” Rain also posted a video on her account of her and some of her housemates dancing with Rockelle, while Rockelle shared a video about how she’s “copying” Rain.

The official Bop House TikTok account posted their own reply to critics, writing, “How many video [sic] are people gonna make about us doing TikToks with Piper.” In the caption, they added, “We’re just chilling making TikToks.”

In another video on the account, Rockelle was seen dancing with some of the girls. In the caption, the Bop House clarified, “If it wasn’t clear already, Piper Rockelle is not joining, just a fun collab.”

In the caption of one video, Rockelle alluded to the criticism again as she wrote, “I remember I’m 17 [don’t worry].”

While Rockelle’s Instagram bio notes that her account is managed by her family, her TikTok does not contain the same disclaimer.

In a statement to PEOPLE, Rockelle noted that she was “so grateful for the opportunity to collab with the Bop House creators.”

“No matter what we do as humans we will get judged and people will have opinions,” she continued in the statement. “I have been in this business for eight years and I’ve never met such a kind, warmhearted group of people. Social media is supposed to be entertainment so if we’re not entertaining you something must be wrong. You only know so much about a person from the internet we show you what we want you to see.”

Back in 2022, Rockelle’s mother Tiffany Smith was sued by 11 teen content creators who previously appeared on Rockelle’s YouTube channel as part of the “Piper Squad.” At the time, they alleged being “frequently subjected to an emotionally, physically and sometimes sexually abusive environment perpetrated by Ms. Smith on and off set during filming sessions for Piper’s YouTube channel.”

The complaint alleged that the plaintiffs “spent significant time, energy and expense collaborating” on the YouTube channel “without any compensation.” The complaint also alleged that they were subject to “inappropriate, offensive and abusive treatment” including “wildly offensive and sexually explicit comments” from Smith.

The lawsuit ended in October 2024 with a $1.85 million settlement.

Rockelle’s YouTube channel initially launched in 2016 when she was 8 years old and she currently has 12 million subscribers on the platform.

In a TikTok posted Feb. 21, Rockelle teased that she wants to tell her “side of the story” but won’t until she turns 18.
