AceShowbiz - Piper Rockelle won't let anyone say negative things about her mother. After Pink accused Piper's mom of exploitation for sharing sexy pictures of the teenager, the YouTube star shut down the allegations, saying that the "Try" singer's comments "hurt" her feelings.
"What she said, kind of really hurt my feelings," the 14-year-old claimed when speaking to TMZ. "I feel like I can wear a bathing suit. I am young, I'm having fun. And actually when that photo I think she's talking about was taken, I had COVID."
"I couldn't go anywhere, I was in my pool every single day and I was wearing my favorite bathing suit and I wanted to take a photo and I think everyone does," the Internet personality went on stressing. "I mean like a lot of like kids my age take photos of bathing suits, which I think is totally fine."
Insisting that Pink's statement was "100 percent not true," Piper added, "This thing that she said about my mom not true at all." She further explained, "I don't know why people think that, my mom asked me like almost every single day, 'Are you happy?' like 'Do you want to keep doing this?' I always say 'Yes, I love this because I love making people happy and it makes me happy.' "
Piper has previously hit back at Pink, who argued on Twitter, "How many kids like Piper Rockelle are being exploited by their parents?" The musician continued, "And at what point do the rest of us say... 'this isn't okay for a 13 yr old to be posing in a bikini whilst her MOTHER takes the photo?!?!"
Reacting to that, Piper told "Today" show, "There's nothing wrong with being in a bikini. Why do we shame people for that? Pictures of teenagers in bikinis having fun are not sexual. They're only sexual if you view us that way."
"I don't think Pink has ever seen one of my YouTube videos because if she did, she'd see it's just my friends and me having fun and acting like ourselves," she pointed out. "The content we make is the kind of stuff anyone can watch."
