On February 27, 2022, Miranda responded to her sister's accusations and drama via Instagram Stories, later posting to her TikTok. She confessed Melanie kicked her out of their joint Wilking Sisters' TikTok account.
She admitted that she had stopped talking to her family, but that was not because of the cult. Instead, she did so because her family was racist and called the police on her then-boyfriend-now-husband, James Derrick.
The police were called on Derrick when Miranda moved in with her boyfriend. According to Miranda, her family accused Derrick of kidnapping and abusing her.
They also tried to manipulate her and change her opinions about Derrick. But when Miranda did not comply with those, they physically held her back and harassed her.
Her father took her license so that she would not run away from them. Fortunately, she managed to escape her parents and go back to Derrick.
Miranda also said she was not involved in a religious cult. However, she defended it and revealed the members get to talk to their families, but she does not speak because of their behaviors.
She added that she and her husband were grown adults who could live with one another if they wanted. Miranda feared her family and did not go to the funeral of her "Papa," thinking she would be held captive there.
She ended her note saying she did not walk to talk about her family in public like she had to do.

She received massive support from her fans and followers following her statement, claiming that she needed to separate herself from her toxic family.
Both the Wilking Sisters are saying two different things, and nobody knows the truth about this drama. Various speculations are going on via their fans and followers, but nothing has been confirmed for sure.
Therefore, everything should be taken with a grain of salt until one verifiable truth about this drama is revealed.
