“IMPACT x Nightline: Piper Rockelle: Barely Legal” Coming Soon To Hulu & Disney+
Disney has announced details on the next instalment in its documentary series, “IMPACT x Nightline”, called “Piper Rockelle: Barely Legal”, which is coming soon to Disney+ and Hulu.
In this episode, “Nightline” co-anchor Juju Chang sits down with Piper Rockelle, once one of YouTube’s most followed child content creators. Rockelle made headlines after launching an OnlyFans account shortly after her 18th birthday — allegedly earning more than $1 million in her first hour on the platform and nearly $3 million by the end of her first day. 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. It also examines broader questions surrounding child influencers, parental control and the lack of labor protections for minors in digital media.
Additional new interviews include the following:
- Donna “Mimi” Healy Smith, Piper Rockelle’s grandmother
- Destinee Smith, Piper Rockelle’s aunt
- Sunny Hostin, co-host of “The View” and former federal prosecutor
- Kelley Carter, senior entertainment reporter, Andscape
- Fortesa Latifi, author, “Like, Follow, Subscribe: Influencer Kids and the Cost of a Childhood Online”
- Kat Tenbarge, tech and culture reporter, Spitfire News
ABC News Studios’ “IMPACT x Nightline: Piper Rockelle: Barely Legal” will stream on Thursday, 12th February 2026, on Disney+ and Hulu in the United States. Recent episodes of “IMPACT x Nightline” are also available to stream on both platforms.
