A new Netflix doc has people believing that the TikTok star Miranda Derrick is in a cult – but she’s calling BS… and pushing an entirely different narrative suggesting she’s fine.
Miranda went online on Tuesday to applaud the claims made in ‘Dancing for the Devil’ – which characterizes her and others involved with 7M Films as brainwashed sheep who are indebted to an alleged cult leader… but Miranda says that’s simply not the case.
In a short clip on her IG Story on Tuesday, Miranda first thanked everyone for their support since the three-part doc was released last week… and then teased a lengthy written statement in the following slides, saying that no could reveal all tea for legal reasons.
In her statement, however, she dismissed the notion that she is a mindless zombie who is under the control of 7M and its founder, Robert Shinnwho is also a pastor at a church he attends.
She has made it clear that she is speaking only on her behalf by saying that she does not tolerate abuse in any way – which appears to be an apparent response to the sexual assault allegations made against Shinn in the document… which is painted as a bogeyman in the series.
Miranda calls the document a one-sided story and says she only asked her family for space to adjust to her new life after dedicating herself to Jesus Christ in 2020 — which she insists they didn’t honor.

MD also addressed specific claims told by her family in the doc… saying the only reason she started her own IG account was because her sister Melanie locked her out of their shared relationship.
Miranda noted that while attempts to repair the relationship with her family were in full swing, the doctor got in the way of the work and undid much of their progress — especially since no one wants to be painted as being brainwashed and out of control of their lives.

Bottom line…Miranda is doubling down – saying she’s not in danger, she’s not being abused, she’s not a victim, and she’s definitely not in a cult.
As detailed in the document, Shinn has several famous TikTok dancers under his management company, 7M Films. Former dancers spoke out publicly, alleging that he demanded a significant portion of their income and imposed isolation from family and friends.
Additionally, longtime members of Los Angeles’ Shekinah Church, where Shinn pastors, have made allegations of sexual abuse against him. Shinn has denied all accusations – and he even filed a defamation lawsuit against the accusers who spoke in the documentary.
