nme.com:

Netflix documentary Dancing For The Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult centres on an alleged cult run by Robert Shinn.The documentary series spotlights various families impacted by management company 7M Films, which has been accused of manipulating and exploiting its members, primarily by its CEO Shinn, who is also a pastor at the Shekinah Church.While the series covers a number of dancers recruited by 7M Films, the relationship between Miranda Derrick and her family is the main focus.

After Miranda joined the company with her now-husband James Derrick in 2020, she became estranged from her sister Melanie Wilking and other family members.The family claimed Miranda was part of a cult that was controlling her interactions with them, but Miranda denied the allegations, stating that the rift started because her parents did not approve of her partner James.Miranda Derrick and her husband James are still part of 7M Films in Los Angeles. “They continue to have limited contact with their families, and make content almost exclusively with other dancers believed to be affiliated with Robert,” a statement reads at the end of the documentary.A few days after the series was released, Miranda released a statement on Instagram where she claimed the Netflix show presented a “one-sided story”.“I love my Mom, Dad and Melanie and they will forever be a part of my life,” she wrote. “The truth is, we just don’t see eye to eye at this time.

I believe this documentary is a one-sided story. I gave my life to Jesus Christ in 2020 and asked my family for some space in the very beginning to collect my thoughts and process my new walk I wanted to take with God.“I also told my sister that I wanted to continue our wilkingsisters social media page.
