Miranda Derrick’s Break from Family After Joining 7M Films

Miranda Wilking (now Derrick) and her sister Melanie became TikTok sensations with their dance videos. However, their family life took a dramatic turn when Miranda joined 7M Film Management. In a livestream, Miranda’s parents, Kelly and Dean, along with Melanie, claimed that Miranda had distanced herself from her family, even blocking her grandmother on social media.

Kelly expressed concerns, stating, “She never told us where she moved to. She ended up blocking us and changed her phone number. Whatever she’s involved in, [it’s] got some kind of control over her that’s making her afraid of something.” This revelation has raised questions about Miranda’s current situation and the influence of 7M Film Management on her life.

If one day I wish to pursue my faith elsewhere, I will and feel completely free to do that.

My time at 7M Films has been one of the most exciting years ever. No one is forcing me to do anything. I am excited to move forward in this incredible walk with God, an amazing marriage, and an exciting career. I’m also looking forward to moving past all of this and mending my relationship with my family privately.”

When Did Miranda Derrick Join 7M Film Management?

Miranda Derrick joined 7M Film Management during the COVID-19 pandemic, causing some suspicion when she stopped posting on the joint Wilking Sisters TikTok account. According to a statement provided to The Cut, Miranda used the pandemic’s disruption to reflect on her life and began a serious spiritual journey at the end of 2020. “I felt a spiritual shift happen inside of me. I started going to Bible studies and learning about God,” she shared.

Her statement continued, “I know that my family and friends saw changes in me along the way because it was true. I was changing for the better and in love like I’d never been before.” In response to her family’s allegations, 7M Film Management told the Daily Mail, “Despite her family’s claims, Miranda is a successful businesswoman and a loving wife and daughter who cares very much about her family.

It is pathetic and contemptible to try to turn her private family matters into a tawdry public scandal for clicks and clout. While the recent portrayals of Dr. Robert Shinn and 7M Films have been wildly offensive and riddled with inaccuracies, those false claims will not deter 7M from supporting Miranda in whichever endeavors she chooses to pursue next.”

7M Films Management, founded in 2021, helps TikTok dancers accumulate fame and wealth. The company, led by Robert Shinn, also runs the Shekinah Church. According to their website, 7M represents top social media influencers, growing their clients’ collective social media following from 1.78 million to 10.42 million. 7M denies allegations of exerting undue influence over its dancers or exploiting them, according to Rolling Stone.
