When a teenage influencer sparks an online crush, the line between fan and follower blurs—and the fallout turns dark. In Episode 2 of Bad Influence, we dive into the story of Piper Rockelle’s fanbase, the parasocial relationships that formed around her, and how social media culture can turn a harmless hashtag into a breeding ground for manipulation, exploitation, and obsession. From devoted fans to overstepping boundaries, we explore the dangers of influencer culture when young creators are at the center of it all.
Trigger Warnings: Discussion of grooming, online exploitation, and predatory behavior.
