If you’ve caught our latest socials, you already know — we’re stepping into a new era and giving the show a glow-up! 🎉 Killer Queens will always hold a special place in our hearts, but without Tori, things are different. Instead of trying to make it what it was, we’re embracing what it is — and renaming the show This Feels Criminal. ✅ What’s changing? New name, colors, and logo A little more variety: still true crime, but mixing in cults, conspiracies, scams, and more A lighter balance — murder will still be here, just not every week ❌ What’s NOT changing? Your Patreon benefits — all episodes, all access, same as always Our heart for victims and telling these stories with compassion Our humor, curiosity, and hanging-out-with-your-friends vibe Honestly? Constant murder coverage was getting heavy, especially as my kids get older. I want to keep loving what we do and keep you loving it too — so this shift will help us all breathe a little easier. Thanks for being here, for supporting us, and for coming along for this next chapter. We can’t wait for you to see what’s next. LYLAS, Tyrella + Nikita 💖 Learn more about your ad choices.

What do you get when you mix a YouTube-famous 10-year-old, an overbearing stage mom, and millions of views? You get Piper Rockelle, The Squad, and the chaos of Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing—Netflix’s docuseries that exposes the disturbing reality behind viral childhood fame. In this episode, we’re diving into Episode 1: #Momager, where we meet Tiffany Smith, Piper’s momager-slash-mastermind, who built an influencer empire—and may have shattered a few childhoods along the way. We’re talking: * Pageant moms turned power-hungry content creators * Kids filming until 2 a.m. for “exposure” * Puppet dogs used to emotionally manipulate children (yep, you read that right) * Early signs of toxic control that set the tone for everything that followed If you thought slime videos and prank wars were harmless, think again. 🎧 Don’t forget to rate, review, and follow—and check out our YouTube for more true crime breakdowns that’ll leave you yelling at your phone.
