2026-08-08 · 10:00 UTC ·Soft White Underbelly ·1 min read

Brief

Mikayla Thornton gives a Soft White Underbelly interview recounting a chaotic, religiously controlled childhood as the youngest daughter of Kevin Thornton (Color Me Badd). In this on-camera portrait she alleges sexual and physical abuse of her and her siblings, describes parental complicity and cult-like practices, and explains how faith and fame promises shaped family secrecy before she breaks her silence.

Why it matters

Mikayla Thornton, youngest daughter of Kevin Thornton (member of pop group Color Me Badd), says she and her siblings endured childhood sexual and physical abuse at home; she details episodes and family responses in segments around 5:17–30:06 of the interview.

Key details

  • She alleges her parents used religion to control the family, with her father described as leading a religious-cult environment that failed to protect the children and her mother actively turning siblings against one another; she says her parents even prayed for her to be disfigured (segments 33:07–45:55).
  • In a Soft White Underbelly interview published 2026-08-08, Thornton connects promises of fame and religious performance (referencing Kanye’s Sunday Service at 35:41) to family dynamics, and breaks her silence about these abuses in the closing segment (49:12).
