Social media star Miranda Derrick has hit back at Netflix documentary Dancing for the Devil, after it suggested that she is in a TikTok cult.
Derrick called the documentary ‘one-sided’ and claimed she is ‘not a victim’ in a statement made to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday.
The popular influencer first shared a quick clip thanking everyone for their support, before posting two text slides where she stated she could not address everything due to ‘pending litigation.’
In her statement she denied claims that she’s under the control of 7M Films and its founder, Robert Shinn, who’s also a pastor at her church.
‘I am not a victim, I am not in any harm, I am not being abused,’ she wrote.

She also stated she does not condone abuse in any way, seemingly in reference the sexual assault accusations made against Shinn in the documentary.
The explosive new Netflix docuseries sheds light on the group of prominent TikTok dancers who are believed to be trapped in a cult.
Back in 2022, Derrick’s parents posted a harrowing video in which they claimed that they hadn’t spoken to their daughter in over a year and that she was being held against her will by a church that was masquerading as a management firm.
They explained that the popular internet star had joined forces with a company called 7M Films in the hopes of becoming a famous dancer in January 2021 – but that they later found out the management firm had ties to a Christian sect run by controversial pastor Shinn.
But Miranda says she simply asked her family for space so she could adjust to her new life after dedicating herself to Jesus Christ in 2020, something she says they have not honored.
In the clip she shared on Tuesday, Miranda says: ‘Thank you so much to everybody who’s been supportive during this time,’ before explaining she can’t go into ‘too much detail’ because of ‘legal purposes.’
She then states: ‘I just wanted to add my side of the story a little bit.’
In her first text slides she writes: ‘Hey everyone, just wanted to hop on here and say that I have seen the documentary. I want to start by saying that I appreciate the concern that has been expressed for my well-being.’
