00:00Piper Raquel defined the 2010s YouTube tween era, but now that she's 18, she made the move many
00:04suspected, joining OnlyFans. But it's not her nearly $3 million debut that has the internet
00:09talking. Piper's grandma, Donna Healey-Smith, was seen breaking her silence on the 18-year-old's
00:20career pivot. And while many expected her to be shocked, Donna's take was strictly business.
00:29On the subject of Piper's adult content, Grandma thinks, and that ideology
00:35goes both ways. Piper recently told Rolling Stone,
00:38People were having a harder time letting my childhood go than me, but I'm not going to
00:42be a kid forever. And despite the controversy, Piper has a surprisingly wholesome plan for
00:46the money coming in from her spicy link. After earning nearly $3 million in her
00:57first 24 hours, Piper's first move was buying her grandma a new car and funding her retirement.
01:02And Donna's response?
01:03It is a lot of money, and I'm happy for her.
01:06But not everyone is as supportive.
01:08There's no way she made $3 million off of dudes her age. No, this is from older men. And were
01:14you like watching her before she was freaking 18?
01:16Critics are sounding the alarm because Piper's audience consists of young children who literally
01:21grew up with her. And in a recent interview with People, Piper admitted she's getting messages
01:25from kids saying it's their dream to join the Bophouse once they turn 18, which is exactly
01:30what Piper did. For those who don't know, the Bophouse isn't your average TikTok mansion.
01:35Founded by creators like Aisha Sophie and Sophie Rain, it's an exclusive collective for OnlyFan
01:40stars filming together in Florida. And while Aisha defends Piper as an adult making her own choices,
01:45the Bophouse brand has been criticized for using PG-13 TikToks to funnel followers towards adult
01:51platforms. And to critics, Piper joining the house is the ultimate validation of a dangerous dream
01:56for millions of young fans. But Piper argues she's simply a product of the world we live in today.
02:01And this brings up a massive question for 2026. Is the move from child star to adult model the
02:06new blueprint for Gen Z stardom? Or is Grandma Donna's support a dangerous example for the kids

02:15As long as I can provide, I'm really good.
