00:00TikTok dancers Miranda and James Derrick's million-strong social media profiles have

00:04vanished just weeks after a federal raid on Robert Shin, the man at the center of Netflix,

00:09Dancing for the Devil documentary. Miranda Derrick, formerly Miranda Wilking, first rose to fame as

00:15part of the Wilking Sisters dance duo with her sister Melanie. Miranda's husband James Derrick

00:20is an American dancer, choreographer, and digital content creator who first broke out in the mid-2010s

00:25with appearances on So You Think You Can Dance and World of Dance. After reportedly getting

00:29married in April 2024, the pair signed with 7M Films, a management company closely connected to

00:35Shin's Shekinah Church. Together, Miranda and James became some of the management company's most

00:40prominent faces, appearing in countless TikTok videos, commercials, and even the 2024 Roadhouse

00:45remake. Although the 7M dancers appear happy online, the Netflix documentary reveals that

00:50Shin allegedly ran a cult where members were told to give up their families and dancers' finances

00:55were controlled. Were you aware of that? Like, I have to let go of my family in order to take this

01:00walk with God? I was definitely aware of it and I was always scared of it. In July 2025, federal

01:07authorities raided multiple properties connected to Robert Shin, who is currently under investigation,

01:12along with Shin's associates, for human trafficking and sex trafficking. The Netflix docuseries details

01:17allegations from former church members and dancers of coercion, family estrangement, financial

01:22exploitation, and sexual abuse, all of which Shin and his organization strongly deny. Now, with Miranda

01:28and James reportedly erasing their online presence, the online community is paying close attention.

01:33According to the documentary and former members, Shin has a long history of wiping digital traces when

01:38scrutiny intensifies, a tactic critics say is meant to control the public narrative. Miranda and James

01:43are identified as known victims of alleged trafficking, and their massive online platforms have been viewed as

01:48potential revenue streams for Shin's organization. And with their accounts now gone, some see this as

01:53another chapter in a long-standing pattern of digital purging. The Derricks remain offline while the

01:58investigation is still active, and Dancing for the Devil has put their story and Robert Shin's alleged

02:03network back in the global spotlight. Share your thoughts and follow us everywhere at What's Trending.
