Mikayla Exposes Her Father's Cult-Like Abuse | Birmingham News
Description
Kevin Thornton, once a beloved ’90s R&B star, is now facing explosive allegations from his youngest daughter Mikayla, who claims she endured a terrifying cult-like childhood marked by physical abuse—including beatings with a Bible and scripture-adorned sticks—and forced rituals called “deliverances.” Mikayla also says her siblings were mistreated, she was pressured into dating a 20-year-old at 15, and the family lived in chaos under her father’s authoritarian control. Though child protective services got involved after bruises were spotted at school, no charges were ever filed—allowing the family to maintain a deceptive image of spiritual purity within their church community. Now an adult and estranged from both parents, Mikayla seeks to break free from the shame she and her siblings carried for decades, publicly exposing her father’s actions and demanding accountability so others don’t suffer in silence.
