Over the years, numerous accusations have surfaced against Tiffany Smith, the mother of kid influencer Piper Rockelle. One of the most notable and controversial claims came from Raegan Beast, a fellow influencer who began his career at a young age and has long been part of the digital content scene. While Raegan has not filed any formal complaints, he did come forward to share his experiences in the Netflix docuseries ‘Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing.’ In the series, he spoke candidly and confidently. He gave a clear account of his perspective and stood firm in telling his story.
Raegan Beast Alleged He Was 17 When Tiffany Smith Kissed Him
Born on November 19, 1999, Raegan Beast was raised in Maryland. He began his journey as a digital creator on Musical.ly, where he posted lip-sync videos and comedic short-form content. His engaging personality and unique style quickly attracted a large following. His parents recognized his potential and believed it was important for him to have professional representation to help him navigate the growing opportunities in the industry. He was soon signed by Envisioned Partners and began working with talent manager Matt Dugan. It was Dugan who eventually presented him with the idea of collaborating with Piper Rockelle to create content together.
Raegan shared that all the videos he filmed with Piper were shot by Hunter Hill, who served as both the editor and cinematographer for most of the content. While Hunter handled the technical side, Raegan felt that Tiffany Smith orchestrated the creative direction entirely. He alleged that she maintained tight control over the content being produced and was very particular about what she wanted the audience to see. Raegan also recalled an incident that took place one evening at the Los Angeles, California, house where the group often gathered. According to him, a few of them had planned to go live on a digital platform to interact with their fans. He alleged that during this time, Tiffany brought out alcohol and gave it to him.
Raegan was just 17 years old at the time. He said that they were all having fun that evening, and he was noticeably intoxicated. According to him, Tiffany suddenly expressed a desire to join them on camera. Once she stepped in front of the camera, she allegedly began touching his arms and shoulders and then unexpectedly pulled him in for a kiss. He alleged that during the livestream, he noticed some viewers commenting on how odd the situation seemed. However, the next morning, Raegan said he was shocked to find that the video had vanished entirely—there was no trace of the live stream anywhere. According to him, it had been deleted without explanation. Following that incident, he began distancing himself from the collaboration and chose to return to focusing on his own path.
