Miranda Derrick\u2019s\u00a0<\/strong>sister\u00a0Melanie Wilking\u00a0<\/strong>has spoken out against the death threats directed at the TikTok star in a new interview with\u00a0People<\/em>\u00a0on Tuesday, June 11. After Melanie participated in Netflix\u2019s Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult<\/em>, Miranda took to social media to speak about how her sister and her parents\u2019 participation in the documentary has lead to threatening messages and put a strain on their relationship.<\/p>\n Melanie explained that she had no intention of viewers threatening her sister when she took part in the documentary, and she and her parents simply want what\u2019s best for Miranda. \u201cOf course, we never wanted any sort of violence to come her way, and I\u2019m very sorry that she has experienced that because our only intent was to save her from an unsafe environment and to give her love and know that we\u2019re here to support her,\u201d she told\u00a0People<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n The documentary focuses in on the 7M talent agency, which is owned by\u00a0Robert Shinn<\/strong>, who is a pastor in the controversial Shekinah Church. The series alleges that the pastor is controlling, and it shares the experiences of performers who had been signed to 7M previously.<\/p>\n While Miranda has spoken out against the documentary, Melanie said that it\u2019s \u201cnot my true sister\u201d making videos about it. \u201cI know that this is from the church and from Robert. She\u2019s so loving and kind and loved our family, and so for her to point fingers at us, it\u2019s just not her true self,\u201d she explained. \u201cAll the steps that we\u2019ve taken, trying to resolve it quietly for a year, then going live and then having all of these dancers and members leave because we used our voice\u2026 all of these things have resulted in positive outcomes, so I have to believe that my gut and intuition has been correct.\u201d<\/p>\n In Miranda\u2019s statement, she spoke about trying to improve her relationship with her family, and she feels that their participation in the documentary has hurt the progress they\u2019ve made. Melanie said that she doesn\u2019t believe that her sister has watched the documentary, and the family took part not only to improve their relationship with her, but also to make sure others don\u2019t get involved with 7M or the church.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/melanie-wilking-talks-death-threats-embed.jpg?quality=100&w=620\")
