In one shocking accusation, Tiffany Smith, 41, allegedly mailed her 15-year-old daughter’s underwear to a male fan so he could “sniff it.”

According to the Daily Mail, the complaint was filed in January 2022 and involved 11 teens from the “Piper Squad.”

The teens claim that the ‘momager’ urged the young content creators to try oral sex and even don revealing ensembles to “accentuate bulges” in a slew of YouTube videos.

And Smith allegedly boasted that what she was doing was creating “kiddie porn,” the complaint claims.

Sawyer Sharbino, Donlad Dougher, Corrine Joy, Connor Cain, Symonne Harrison, Ayden Mekus, Hayden Haas, Walker Bryant, Sophia Fergi, Claire Rocksmith, and Reese Rocksmith are asking for $2 million each from Smith and her boyfriend Hunter Hill.

Her trial begins Monday.

Piper has more than 10 million YouTube subscribers, although her page has been demonitized. Her net worth is reportedly in the neighbourhood of $3 million.

In one of the videos posted to the YouTube page, eight teens are featured in a kissing contest with $10,000 offered to the winners. It has around 10 million views.

But it wasn’t just questionable material on the YouTube page, the former Squad members say. Smith also made increasingly disturbing comments.

They called her a “mean-spirited control freak.”

In once instance, Haas claimed he was asked by Smith if his “balls have dropped yet” and “how long is it [referring to his penis]?” The lawsuit claims she told her young charges to be “sexy” and “sexually aggressive.”

Smith is also accused of touching the children on their legs, thighs and buttocks.

One of the most shocking incidents involved Smith’s own daughter Piper. She allegedly mailed the girl’s “soiled training bras and panties” adding that “old men like to smell this stuff.”

To inflict some of her most shocking missives, the allegedly maniacal mom would take on alter-egos such as “Frank the Pug” or “Lenny the Dead Cat.”

Some claim they weren’t paid for appearing on the YouTube channel. In addition, they added that Smith sabotaged their efforts using “dirty tactics,” including posting the teens’ YouTube accounts to porno sites.

As a result, YouTube would flag the content as “sexual or inappropriate,” slashing their numbers and impacting their bottom lines.

“I just want peace back with my kids,” mom Ashley Rock Smith told NBC News. “I want all predators who hurt young kids to be brought to justice. I also hope we move the needle on these platforms that are allowing this.”

Smith reportedly countersued for $30 million in July 2022, claiming the plaintiffs and their moms made up the lurid allegations as an extortion tactic. She later dropped the suit.
