The allegations against what's shown in Dancing For The Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult
Miranda Derrick shot to fame in the dance world thanks to her fun TikTok videos and partnerships with other popular influencers. But things took a dark turn when her involvement with 7M Films and the Shekinah Church, led by Dr. Robert Shinn, raised concerns about alleged cult-like behavior. Allegations of manipulation and control within these groups marred her rapid success, as shown in Dancing For The Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult.
Miranda keeps saying that her changes are because of her stronger faith and relationship with her boyfriend BDash, but her family isn't buying it. They even went on a livestream on Miranda's birthday, in February 2022, to share their worries about her distancing herself from them. They said Miranda's different behavior was because of 7M Films and the Shekinah Church, claiming she was forced to distance herself from them.
Kelly Wilking, her mother, got emotional, saying she was worried about Miranda's safety and didn't believe she was okay. Ex-members of the Shekinah Church also spoke out, alleging that they were told to cut ties with their families to secure a spot in heaven. Despite all the worry, Miranda said her new outlook was love and faith.
Speaking to the media in 2022, she talked about how happy and fulfilled she now feels, crediting her relationship with BDash and her faith for the positive changes in her life.
