At the end of February 2022, Melanie and her parents went on Instagram live to address the situation with Miranda. Miranda had not been making much content with her sister after she got married.
Fans were worried about the elder sister, wondering what made her drift apart from her family. Melanie said that Miranda was held hostage by a church-based cult named Seven Mountain Mandate.
Seven Mountain Mandate is based on Isaiah 2:2 of the Bible verse, which claims they are "a group of self-proclaimed 'apostles' have a plan rooted in biblical prophecy to 'invade' every sphere of life as we know it."

They claim they aim to eliminate institutions of demons and witchcraft. Melanie later uploaded a video on TikTok where her sister, Miranda, was dancing to 'My Life' by Billy Joel.
Alongside the video, Melanie begged her fans to read and interact with it. She wrote Miranda was a victim of a cult in LA and had cut off contact with the Wilkings since January 2021.
She and her parents were concerned for Miranda since they claimed the latter had no control over her social media. According to the youngest Wilking Sisters, Seven Mountain Mandate is completely secluded.
The cult had no information online, and if someone wanted to join it, they had to be invited. Moreover, Melanie asserted the cult took over everything in their member's life, including "life, time and finances."
In the end, she asked her fans to flood Miranda's comments, telling her to reach out to her parents and sister. Via the captions, she wished to get her sister back again, as soon as possible.
