Extended Logline: This week on “IMPACT x Nightline,” “Nightline” co-anchor Juju Chang sits down with Piper Rockelle, once one of YouTube’s most followed child content creators.

Rockelle reflects on her meteoric rise to fame as a kid influencer, the fallout from a 2022 lawsuit filed by former members of her online “Squad” against her mother and longtime manager, Tiffany Smith, and more. The episode offers exclusive access to Rockelle’s daily life, behind-the-scenes moments from her OnlyFans content, and interviews with her family, journalists and cultural commentators.
