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.
