The Lee sisters, who Robert Shinn is suing for defamation, are not alone in their allegations. Kylie Douglas, a dancer who is part of the lawsuit involving the producer, accused him of sexual battery for “hip thrusting at her from behind” and has also filed a police report in the matter (per Rolling Stone). Over the course of the ensuing drama within the Wilking family and other controversies related to 7M Films and the Shekinah Church, Shinn’s attorneys have fired back at his detractors.
“The false and sensational allegations about 7M stem directly from a dispute between 7M-represented dancer Miranda Derrick and her estranged family,” a spokesperson representing Shinn told the Daily Mail. “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,” they later added. Derek Doneen, the director of “Dancing for the Devil,” told The Guardian his job is merely to “start the conversation” that “ignites a debate and, hopefully, could potentially bring about meaningful change.”
