She should know.
Piotrowicz, 33, took her first sip of alcohol when she was 11. She struggled with addiction for the two decades that followed.
Growing up in Grand Ledge she spent her youth rebelling, and struggling too, Piotrowicz said. She dropped out of high school when she was pregnant with her son, now 14, and checked herself into rehab in her early 20s after a year-long battle with methamphetamine.
Mama Cass, the character she created and first portrayed in a 60-second video on Tik Tok last November, pulls no punches with wayward youth.
In duet videos Piotrowicz makes in response to clips created by young Tik Tokers who present themselves as tough, Mama Cass is a much tougher mother, fed up with their behavior and demanding that they get up and do the dishes.
