Piper Rockelle's Mom Accused of Abuse in $22m Lawsuit.

The mother of YouTube star Piper Rockelle is facing allegations of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse from 11 teen content creators who were featured on her daughter's channel. The plaintiffs allege that they endured physical and emotional injuries from "harassment, molestation, and abuse," and some say they weren't compensated for the use of their likenesses to promote Rockelle's content. The court proceedings will offer a rare glimpse into the lucrative and largely unregulated world of child YouTube stardom. The plaintiffs are each asking for roughly $2 million in damages, totaling at least $22 million, from Smith and her boyfriend, Hunter Hill, who the complaint identifies as the director and editor of Rockelle's YouTube channel.
