Former member of the sex cult NXIVM India Oxenberg says people need to cut the TikTok star Miranda Derrick some slack… because she could very well be in a cult and not even realize she’s been brainwashed.
India, who broke free from NXIVM after 7 years under the cult’s spell, told TMZ…she has known about Miranda’s alleged cult, 7M Films, for years and thinks it’s likely that Miranda doesn’t fully understand the influence that the group is exerting over her life.
Miranda denies that 7M is a cultand says she’s not a stupid founder zombie Robert Shinnof control – resisting a narrative seen in the new Netflix doc “Dancing for the Devil” – but India says groups like 7M and NXIVM have perfected the art of controlling communication with outsiders.
When she was at NXIVM, India says she was told what to say and how to say it… meaning that she wasn’t brainwashed and was doing everything of her own volition. India sees parallels with what is happening with Miranda.

In fact, India says Miranda’s family has reached out to her for help getting to Miranda — the fractured family relationship is a big theme in the doc — but she tells us it will take some time for the TikToker to realize what’s really going on. is happening. about.
Remember, Miranda’s family claims she cut them out of her life after signing with 7M Films and joining Shinn’s church.
India says this is typical… cults like to alienate family members to ensure there are no competing loyalties and to distance members from their former lives.
Miranda has started dancing with her sister again, but says the Netflix doc is opening up old wounds… and India says everyone needs to be patient and give Miranda time and space to figure things out.
