Netflix docuseries "Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult" introduces audiences to controversial pastor and talent manager Robert Shinn, whose Shekinah Church has been described as a cult.
The series starts by examining Shinn and his followers of the Los Angeles-based church from the perspective of Melanie Wilking, a dancer who believes that the organization brainwashed her sister, Miranda Derrick.
Derrick joined the church in 2021 and later signed with Shinn's talent management company, 7M Films Inc, which he started that year.
Derrick has maintained that she is not a victim following her family's claims that she cut contact with them after joining the church.
But while Derrick and her husband, James "BDash" Derrick, are still involved with Shekinah, other dancers have left the church.
The Netflix series paints a surprising picture of how content creators can potentially be taken advantage of while trying to build their brands and find success.
In 2022, a 7M representative denied all allegations of coercion in a statement to Business Insider, saying "at no point" has Shinn tried to isolate anybody.
Here are all the TikTok dancers who have been involved with 7M, Shekinah Church, and Shinn.
