Allison Mack: New Details Emerge on Sadistic Treatment of Sex Cult Slaves

Former Dynasty star Catherine Oxenberg’s daughter, India, was one of the reported sex slaves within NXIVM and DOS. With the arrest of the cult leaders, that nightmare is over.


Within the organization, women were allegedly blackmailed and branded at the behest of Keith Raniere and Allison mack.


In Catherine’s new book, she shares the harrowing details of what has been revealed to her about life within the nightmarish sex cult. Take a look:



Catherine Oxenberg’s new book is titled Captive: A Mother’s Crusade to Save Her Daughter from a Terrifying Cult.


That might sound like it’s melodramatic or, worse, the title of a Lifetime movie. But having a child trapped in a sex slave cult in which you don’t know what’s happening to them is frightening.


The only thing worse, perhaps, is when you finally learn what is happening. And that is what Catherine did as she consulted with multiple women about what they say happened.


Keith Raniere may be the leader of NXIVM, but Allison Mack was a “master” within the sex-slave cult.


“I would hear from many slaves that Allison was also very territorial about Keith,” Oxenberg writes in her book.


She was allegedly his fanatical servant, determined to please him by selecting women and ordering them to have sex with him.



But apparently this task made her feel jealous of the women who were, after all, obeying her orders.


“And,” Oxenberg writes, Mack “felt threatened and jealous of each woman she sent to have sex with him.”


“Which resulted in her being very punitive and sadistic as a master,” Oxenberg reports.


That makes a twisted kind of sense. If you’re providing someone with lovers because you’re devoted to him, you might also resent those lovers if you feel that you should be the one in bed with him.


Combine that with Mack being allegedly in charge of “discipline” for the slave women and you get a recipe for suffering.



In fact, Mack was said to be an incredibly strict taskmaster.


Oxenberg writes that Allison Mack is “obsessed with penance and weight.”


The slave women were reportedly subject to blackmail and other punishments while required to make themselves “perfect” for Raniere.


“They also had to give collateral every month,” Oxenberg writes. “And keep closely to their starvation diets.”


As we all learned late last year, Mack and the other women are said to keep themselves to starvation diets, limiting their caloric intake to an alarming degree and also exercising.


This is allegedly part of what they need for self-improvement or whatever, which makes it curious that Raniere himself does not do any of that.



Oxenberg also reveals some details of the tasks that Mack would allegedly assign to the slave women.


There was more to it, it seems, than a simple instruction for a woman to bed Raniere.


For one thing, it’s said that Mack would give them permission to enjoy the sex.


Additionally, Oxenberg writes that Mack would instruct the women to “let him take photos of you naked afterward.”


This was apparently “to prove you’ve completed this assignment.


Mack would allegedly order the women with naked photos to “send them to your master.”



Oxenberg apparently learned this from speaking with multiple former “slave women” from NXIVM’s internal group, DOS, which is an acronym for a latin phrase meaning “dominance over the slave women.”


We can only imagine the heartache that she must have felt — and must still feel — knowing that her own daughter was recruited and, incrementally, manipulated step by step until she was one of these women.


The heiress who bankrolled Keith Raniere and NXIVM tried to suggest that the abuse allegations are just sex-shaming, but the allegations aren’t that Raniere engaged in sex.


The allegations are that, through blackmail and brainwashing, Raniere and Mack gave this women no choice but to allow themselves to be branded and bedded at his will.

Heiress Used Her Fortune to Bankroll NXIVM Sex-Slave Cult

We all know how Smallville actress Allison Mack became a leader in a sex-slave cult. But she and cult leader Keith Raniere were not in this venture alone.


NXIVM, the sex-slave cult that lured women into its ranks under the guise of a women’s empowerment, was financed by heiress Clare Bronfman.


Bronfman has now been busted for racketeering and other charges in connection with her involvement.



Clare Bronfman is a Seagram’s liquor heiress and the daughter of the late Edgar Bronfman.


The 39-year-old is a wealthy philanthropist and she is also known as a dedicated equestrian.


She is also very much under arrest after the police say that she used her inherited wealth to bankroll NXIVM. They say that she was one of the organization’s leaders.


On Tuesday, she was busted for racketeering and a number of other crimes.


She plead not guilty to conspiring with Raniere to steal the email passwords of his (perceived) enemies, place charges on the credit card of his deceased ex, and launder money in order to help a non-citizen gain fraudulent entry to the U.S.



Clare and her sister, Sara, were both involved in NXIVM, but it sounds like Clare is — for the moment — the one facing criminal charges.


Prosecutors say that Clare and Sara financed NXIVM, helping to lend it credibility as a self-help organization. Which, in turn, helped Raniere to lure more alleged victims.


As you may recall from last November’s explosive report when Allison Mack was outed as a “master” in a sex-slave cult, the allegations are that NXIVM functions like a pyramid scheme, in which women are expected to recruit new members.


Unfortunately, the allegations say that these women must surrender blackmail material in order to advance, and are then branded with Keith Raniere’s initials.


According to reports, these women ultimately answered to Mack, who was entrusted with selecting which women would have sex with Raniere.



Unfortunately, this is said to have gone far beyond mixing roleplay with sex.


First of all, former members of NXIVM and its internal organization, DOS (dominance over the slave women) have come forward and revealed that they ddi not know that they were going to be branded.


Second of all, the blackmail material existed to discourage women from balking at Mack’s orders.


Additionally, it was said that physical punishments, from sleep deprivation to even violence, was wielded to encourage the “slaves” to toe the line.


Sex is not consensual if you’re being threatened or blackmailed into saying “yes.”



On the NXIVM website, Clare Bronfman claimed: “neither NXIVM nor Keith have abused or coerced anyone.”


Interestingly, she did confirm that DOS exists within NXIVM.


“W]hile I am not and never have been a member of the sorority,” Clare wrote. “[It] has not coerced nor abused anyone.”


“In fact, the sorority has truly benefited the lives of its members, and does so freely,” Clare claims. “I find no fault in a group of women… freely taking a vow of loyalty and friendship with one another.”


She says that these women do so “to feel safe while pushing back against the fears that have stifled their personal and professional growth.”


“It’s not for any of us to judge how they, or anyone else, choose to advance their lives and values,” Clare rights.



If the choice were truly up to these women, she’d by right. People can have whatever kind of consensual intercourse that they like.


But prosecutors are after Raniere, Mack, and now Bronfman for alleged criminal activities.


It is entirely possible that Bronfman did not know that blackmail and violence were being used. It is not uncommon for people in cults or organized religions to trust their religious leaders absolutely.


If Clare comes to realize the sort of operation that Raniere was running on her dime, perhaps she will turn state’s evidence.


If convicted on all charges, this heiress could potentially face 20 years in prison.

Allison Mack Tried to Recruit Emma Watson, Kelly Clarkson to Sex Slave Cult

Last week, former Smallville star Allison Mack was arrested for sex trafficking over her alleged role as a “master” in a sex-slave cult that masquerades as a women’s self-help pyramid scheme.


It has now come to light that she solicited other celebrities to join Nxivm.


Was she trying to turn Emma Watson and Kelly Clarkson into sex slaves for Keith Raniere?



On Friday, Allison Mack entered a plea of “not guilty” for sex trafficking and forced labor.


See, even if you pretend that it’s “empowering,” it is in fact illegal to coerce people to have sex through blackmail and the threat of beatings.


Yes, it’s still illegal even if the  initials are already branded on that woman’s body.


Mack is, of course, accused of recruiting women to join the pyramid scheme and then selecting which women would be ordered to Raniere’s bed.


And now it’s come out that she may have very brazenly tried to recruit two very familiar names over twitter:


Beloved Harry Potter star Emma Watson and sometimes controversial American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson.




Allison Mack Tweet to Emma Watson


“I’m a fellow actress like yourself and involved in an amazing women’s movement I think you’d dig,” Mack wrote.


Her tweet continued:


“I’d love to chat if you’re open.”


A month later, when Watson still hadn’t taken the bait, Mack wrote:


“I participate in a unique human development and women’s movement I’d love to tell you about.”


Well … it certainly is unique as far as women’s movements go.




Allison Mack Tweet to Kelly Clarkson


Allison Mack also wrote to Kelly Clarkson.


With Clarkson, she used a somewhat vaguer approach, apparently hoping to dazzle the Since You’ve Been Gone singer with her “star power.”


“I heard through the grapevine that you’re a fan of Smallville.”


Smallville ran for 10 seasons. Its fan base was relatively small yet very dedicated.


“I’m a fan of yours as well! I’d love to chat sometime.”


Those are deceptive friendly words for such an ominous tweet.



While it doesn’t look like Watson or Clarkson fell for Mack’s invitation, that doesn’t make this any less bizarre.


It’s not surprising, however.


Mack was said to have quickly become one of Raniere’s favorites because he liked having a celebrity (or close enough) to recruit more people to Nxivm.


It only stands to reason that, either of her own volition or acting on Raniere’s orders, Mack would seek other celebrities with whom she might have an “in.”


Emma Watson is an outspoken feminist, so Mack clearly hoped that calling Nxivm a “women’s movement” would help to draw her in.


And since Kelly Clarkson apparently likes Smallville, well, who wouldn’t want to hear from an actor from a show that they love?


It’s not clear if she was determined to rope them into joining the sex slave cult, or was just trying to get them both in the “normal” self-help part of the organization to draw in more members.



There’s no doubt that Allison Mack was a major recruitment tool for Nxivm.


But some have called into question how much a willing participant she was in the abuse that she allegedly doled out.


We don’t know all of the evidence that the prosecution will present, but prosecutors may find themselves in a tricky situation.


If they successfully prove that the women in Raniere’s DOS program were unwilling participants and sex trafficking victims because of abuse and blackmail and brainwashing …


… Might Mack’s defense team use that to argue that she herself was also a victim?


They might also try to argue that, if Mack was capable of making her own choices, that the victims were all there of their own free will?


We’re not saying that we believe those arguments, but this is definitely a complicated case.


We’ll see how things work out.

Allison Mack: Arrested for Role in Sex-Slave Cult

In November, an explosive expose outed Smallville actress Allison Mack as a “master” in a sex slave cult and pyramid scheme that allegedly masquerades as a self-help group for women.


In the wake of that, both Allison Mack and accused cult leader Keith Raniere fled.


Now, however, they have been found and arrested on multiple charges that could put them behind bars for many years.



Allison Mack will reportedly appear Friday in Brooklyn court over her role in the Nxivm sex slave cult known as DOS.


Keith Raniere was arrested for sex trafficking and forced labor while hiding out in Mexico and shipped back to the US.


Allison Mack has now also been arrested.


The two of them will face charges including sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy, and forced labor conspiracy.


(It is very much illegal to allegedly torture people and blackmail them into having sex, folks)


They could both be looking at 15 years in prison.



Per the stunning report last November, Allison Mack was responsible for recruiting “slaves” to serve Raniere, who was known as “Vanguard” within the cult.


Reportedly, Allison would have sex with Raniere but also select women within the cult to have sex with him — and use her celebrity status to recruit new women to join Nxivm.


DOS is a program within Nxivm, in which women were reportedly made to give up blackmail material and were then branded with Raniere’s initials as part of a “self-improvement” program.


Everyone lower on the pyramid was a “slave.” Anyone higher was a “master.” An interesting play on what sounds like, structurally, a classic pyramid scheme.


Failure to obey orders was met with punishments like food deprivation, cold showers, or even corporal reprisals handed out by a master.


And Allison Mack was apparently a “master” who answered only to Raniere.



For a decade, the 35-year-old actress played the adorable and brilliant Chloe Sullivan on the cult favorite TV series, Smallville.


(This was before shows like Arrow came along to remind people that live-action superhero shows could be genuinely good, but it did run for 10 years)


People who once admired her have a hard time reconciling the sweet, bubbly woman they saw on their screens with a woman who would allegedly blackmail or paddle women to coerce them into having sex with a cult leader.


According to some statements, it sounded like Mack was deeply devoted to Raniere.


… To the point where she was said to seem jealous of women whom she herself sent to Raniere’s bed.



Some question Mack’s culpability.


On the one hand, she’s a grown woman who has allegedly been overseeing a sex slave cult on behalf of a deranged lunatic.


On the other, she has appeared obsessed with weight loss, keeping herself to an unhealthy weight through exercise and starvation — above and beyond what is expected from all of the “slaves” below her.


Depriving someone of things like food in a “self-help” setting, and grooming someone over the course of years to obey you unquestioningly, can have a powerful effect.


That said, from what is reported, Mack was never kidnapped by Raniere. Whatever psychological hold he may have on her, it sounds like she did everything of her own free will, every step of the way.


She may be both a victim and a victimizer, but for now, it sounds like she’s culpable for her actions.


Perhaps something will come out at trial that will change people’s minds.



Every part of this story is bizarre, sensational, and alarming.


By the way, even though Kristin Kreuk is the one who allegedly recruited Allison Mack, at the time, Nxivm was apparently just a mildly creepy self-empowerment group for women.


So we don’t expect Kristin Kreuk, who took a simple course and then left, to face charges for the crimes committed by others when she was not in any way involved.


Allison Mack’s former Smallville costar is horrified by what she’s heard.


And so is everyone else.


We can only imagine what more we’ll all learn as this case goes to trial.

Duggar Women: "Trapped" In a Dangerous Cult, Source Claims

When the Duggars first made their debut on TLC in 2008, the selling point that was used to attract an audience was the massive size of the family.


But viewers quickly became fascinated by Michelle, Jim Bob and kids for reasons that had nothing to do with fertility.



Reality stardom put the Duggars’ extremely conservative religious views on display, and their belief system and practices drew a mixed reaction from their rapidly-growing fan base.


Some applauded the family’s “old-fashioned” values, while others decried what they viewed as a cult-like setting.


The Duggars are adherents of Reverend Bill Gothard’s Institute for Basic Life Principles, and the debate only intensified when Gothard resigned in disgrace after being accused of sexual assault and harrassment by dozens of young men and women.


Gothard has thus far avoided criminal prosecution, but the scandal has only grown with revelations that he’s not the only member of his church who used his power to coerce the congregation’s most vulnerable members into performing sex acts.


In May of 2015, the Josh Duggar sex scandals became public knowledge after nearly a decade of coordinated cover-up by his parents.


 


The fact that Michelle and Jim Bob knew their son was molesting his sisters but failed to act led many to wonder about the extent to which this sort of behavior was sanctioned by the IBLP.


Now, a powerful new voice has entered the debate–one with firsthand knowledge of the predatory tactics employed by IBLP leaders.


Rebecca Ishum is a blogger and former IBLP adherent who says she was brainwashed during an intensive “triaining” session at the IBLP’s secretive headquarters.


She opened up about her experiences in a recent interview with In Touch Weekly:


“I still grieve for all of the kids…mainly the girls….who are trapped or have spent their lives trying to rewire their brains once they make it out. Most of the girls who are still in that cult don’t even realize how trapped they are,” Ishum tells the magazine.


“I was conditioned to believe anything that anyone in authority told me without question.”



The Duggars often claim that their extremist views on abstinence and “modest attire” are meant to enforce in young women an appreciation for their bodies as gifts from God, but Rebecca says she was taught that she had no autonomy over her physical self:


“I remember learning things like…if I was ever raped, then it would be my fault,” she says.


Duggar women are taught from a young age that procreation is their primary reason for being, and Rebecca says that she was indoctrinated to trust in the philosophical underpinnings of that belief during IBLP training:


“Higher education was frowned on because we were created to raise up a Quiverfull of children to be the salt of the earth. Our main objective was to be the helpmeet (translation: servant) of our husbands and have children,” she reveals.


“People who are still trapped in the IBLP cult are missing out on a whole lot of freedom and life. That type of thinking is a prison. Sadly, most of them don’t know it.”



Rebecca says that while the men responsible for the intellectual imprisonment of the Duggar girls deserve our condemnation, the public should be careful not to blame the victims:


“[If I could talk to the Duggars,] I would start by just listening,” Rebecca says.


“I would just sit down and listen to them talk until I could start to get an idea of who they are at their core. And then I would tell them to dream bigger than the box they’ve been given because they can remain a Jesus-follower, but do so in a way that enables their freedom.”


Ishum concludes:


“These girls need help seeing their worth and value for who they are, not what they do.”

Allison Mack Was Recruited into Sex Cult by Smallville Costar Kristin Kreuk!

Has anybody else been having weird cult nightmares since hearing that Allison Mack is a “master” in a self-help sex cult? It’s only been a week and I’ve had two such dreams. Two.


The thing is that while we sort of understand how Allison Mack slid up the ranks to allegedly become the second- or third-in-command of DOS, we’ve never really had a clear picture of how she got started in it.


As it turns out, she was recruited … by Smallville costar Kristin Kreuk.



Allison Mack is reportedly either the second or third in command of a master-slave sex cult called DOS.


According to an alarming expose by The New York Times, DOS is a cult that operates within NXIVM


NXIVM is a “self-help” organization that features programs that allegedly promote female empowerment … in exchange for a large chunk of money. Oh, and recruiting new members.


Based upon descriptions and reports, one might think of NXIVM like what would happen if the Church of Scientology had a baby with a more run-of-the-mill pyramid scheme.


At some point, certain women start going on starvation diets (seriously — no reputable doctor would recommend this) and taking only cold showers … and submitting incriminating photos that could later be used against them as blackmail.


And then these women are required to submit to branding, having Keith Raniere’s initials branded into their pubic region. They are “slaves,” each serving a “master,’ all the way to the top.


Brainwashing and corporal punishment are reportedly standard fare for these members of DOS.


And while Raniere is at the head of this alleged cult, Allison Mack is said to be right below him. Having undergone brainwashing herself, Mack is described as “both a perpetrator and a victim” of the cult’s abuse.



But how did she get started with all of this?


That’s where Kristin Kreuk comes in.


Kreuk is best known for her work on Smallville, playing Clark Kent’s adolescent romantic interest, Lana Lang. She was eventually written out of the series in a particularly goofy way.


Kristin Kreuk also starred on Beauty and the Beast, the 2012 series, which … was not a great show and finally came to an end in 2016.


And it’s now reported that she was the one who first recruited Allison Mack to NXIVM.


A woman named Susan Dones told HollywoodLife about Kristin Kreuk’s involvement with the cult.


“Yes Kristin Kreuk and Allison Mack were members of Nxivm. Kristin recruited Allison.”


Dones herself was a member.


Before you worry, it doesn’t sound like Kristin Kreuk has anybody’s initials branded near her genitals.


“But Kristin left shortly after I left in 2009. She got out before it became really bizarre and wasn’t involved with anything sexual.”


Dones speaks about when and why she left:


“I joined in 2000 and left in 2009 when I found out that Keith Raniere was manipulating women into having sex with him. He wouldn’t approach the women for sex directly. He would send one of the women working for him, a woman named Pat, on his behalf.”


It sounds like a precursor to Allison Mack’s current job.


“Pat would say to the chosen woman, ‘Keith wants to spend some one on one time with you.’”


And when you’re in a cult, you want to spend time with the leader.


“Whatever they were doing with their lives, whether it was acting or business or a sport they were good at, they would be told Keith can help you if you spend some one on one time and she could set that up. He would meet them and do his seduction thing.”


We don’t care to imagine what Keith Raniere’s alleged “seduction thing” looks like.



These days, Allison Mack is still submitting to Keith Raniere’s will.


She reportedly eats only 500 to 800 calories per day, which is absolutely not enough food.


She is also said to run 40 miles a week.


All of this is to keep herself incredibly thin, per DOS’ requirements. With authority comes very high standards.


Women within DOS who fail to obey Allison Mack’s orders are reportedly paddled as punishment, reinforcing Keith Raniere’s will.


As for Allison’s particular responsibilities?


Why, she’s allegedly in charge of selecting women to be Keith’s sex partners.


All the while, Allison Mack continues to praise NXIVM and recruit more “slaves” to the cause.


There is, unfortunately, no part of this story that isn’t gross an alarming.



So both women were recruited while filming Smallville in Vancouver.


Kristin apparently got into it because her boyfriend was part of NXIVM. There are a few men involved in the organization, but it sounds like DOS is made up entirely of women.


And Keith Raniere.


We’re glad that Kristin got out as early as she did, but so saddened that Allison Mack did not.


We can’t imagine how Kristin or any other former recruiter must feel, knowing what they got other women into. Even if they had no idea, it’s a lot to live with.


And we can’t help but wonder how many other familiar faces might be part of the organization.

Allison Mack Praises Alleged Sex Cult, Recruits More "Slaves"

You know how Smallville star Allison Mack"s been outed as an alleged sex-slave cult master, second or third in command of the whole thing? We didn"t want to believe the allegations but … you have to see this.


In the video below, you can see for yourself how Allison Mack raves about Jness, one of NXIVM"s "empowerment" programs, in an effort to use her celebrity status to recruit more members.


And that"s not even the first time that she"s ranted, on camera, about how "wonderful" Jness is.


Allison mack raves about jness


Allison Mack is accused of being an extremely high-ranking member of NXIVM"s alleged sex-slave cult, DOS.


According to extensive allegations about NXIVM and DOS, women who join the cult surrender nude or incriminating photos of themselves that could be used for blackmail, go on starvation diets, and are required to take cold showers.


Most sensationally, as first revealed by The New York Times" expose, the women are branded in their pubic region with the initials of Keith Raniere.


NXIVM presents itself as a self-help organization with a hierarchy, but was accused of being a pyramid scheme of sorts for ages — well before the abuses within were revealed.


The expose that came out this year detailed how the women are subjected to corporal punishment if they fail to do sufficient recruiting on their own.


To make matters more disturbing, Allison Mack is now believed to be Keith Raniere"s second- or third-in-command, and has been described as "both a perpetrator and a victim" of the brainwashing and abuse within the alleged NXIVM cult.


The video below, in which Allison Mack actively promotes NXIVM"s "empowerment" program, Jness, is pretty alarming in a number of ways. But she"s been speaking Jness" praises on camera for years.



In a 2013 Q&A, Allison Mack had a lot to say when "a fan" asked the "totally not planted" question of what it"s like to work for Jness.


She spews a lot of word salad — that is, she uses a lot of words without saying much that is concrete or sensible.


"Working for Jness I think is the most gratifying thing that I"ve ever done."


Again, this is an actress who starred on a TV show that ran for 10 seasons.


"It"s the most challenging thing I"ve ever done because it consists of working with a group of people in a way that is totally interdependent."


She tries to define what she means by that.


"Meaning: we"re all working together and no one is ever punished and no one is ever told that they"re wrong and they"re bad."


That seems at odds with everything that we"ve heard about NXIVM.


"The most important thing in working for Jness is relationships in Jness."


That"s something that you"d expect to hear from a cult member about a cult. If somebody"s discouraged from having close friends who aren"t part of their religion or self-help group, something is wrong.


"And I"m not used to that, I"m used to the objective being met, I"m used to having, like, strict hard fast deadlines and lots of fear and punishment if I don"t get it right."


What does she mean by "lots of fear and punishment," exactly? Was there some scary stuff going on behind the scenes on Smallville if actors forgot their lines? We somehow doubt it.


"And in working for Jness, there isn"t any of that, so it comes purely from a place of self-motivation and self-direction."


Again, part of the recent allegations is a claim that "slaves" who fail to properly obey Allison Mack are subjected to corporal punishment.



The creepy, cult-like language increases … in fact, Allison Mack is starting to feel a lot like NXIVM"s answer to Scientology"s golden boy, Tom Cruise.


"And that is really difficult. But I would say that working for Jness is the most satisfying and purposeful thing that I"ve ever done. Watching the women who are in Jness completely transform and evolve in a way that is so pure is such a privilege."


Now, talking about "transforming" is innocuous on its own, as lots of people talk about that when they talk about improving their lives.


But using the word "pure" in this context is … a red flag. It"s just creepy language that"s probably been repeated over and over.


"And really literally seeing people"s life paths completely turn … where in one moment, they felt that this was all that they had and all that they could do, and all of a sudden they come through Jness and they start working with us and in our community."


When someone is branded, fearful of punishment, and subjected to a starvation diet, we"d imagine that they do seem to "change" pretty suddenly.


"It"s like a whole "nother life is born out of their new experience of themselves. And that"s an incredibly satisfying, gratifying thing to do."



"I think it"s challenging because I think Jness is an organization that looks to all participants to be 100% responsible for themselves and for their lives, so it makes it hard to blame people for mistakes that are made when you"re always looking at your own responsibility and participation in the situation."


That is barely intelligible.


"But that"s just hard for my ego and my pride."


It sounds like Allison Mack has been told that some of her original thoughts are just the products of ego and pride and need to be suppressed for her own well-being. That"s just a guess, though.


"Once I started the program I realized what I was looking for wasn’t a relationship, it was an experience about myself and in my life."


Well, allegedly seeking out sex partners and ordering them to Keith Raniere"s bed, which is what the claims say is one of her responsibilities, sure sounds like an experience.



"And once I  understand how to have that experience about myself and in my life for me, then I can have the relationship I want or not, but I’m okay in either circumstance."


That"s just an overly complicated way of saying "I need to know myself before I date," but … there seems to be a lot more behind the scenes.


"Going forward into my life from this place with that recognition I feel like the possibilities are endless and there’s no fear of shooting what I want for ideally, there’s not reason to settle because any way I look at it I’m going to be good, and that’s awesome."


If you"re noticing that she"s using words and phrases in strange ways, a lot of cults have insulated language habits that they use to exclude outsiders, reinforce their ideas, and forge a sense of belonging.


"We have a much more joyful and a much more efficient existence."


Yeah, that sounds like a line that aliens would say right before they extract your brain.


"Working for Jness is grounding and satisfying and humbling and wonderful."



Again, we don"t think that Allison Mack is deliberately behaving in a predatory manner.


There"s nothing sinister to her intentions.


Accusations suggest that she was recruited at a vulnerable point in her life and probably started off in the "normal" self-help parts of NXIVM, and it"s claimed that she was gradually brainwashed like the others — and, because of her celebrity status, promoted.


As you"ll see in this video, though she"s always been a slender gal, Allison Mack looks shockingly gaunt.


We"re not body-shaming her or concern-trolling, we"re just alarmed by the starvation diets that have been reported to go on within NXIVM. It"s claimed that Allison Mack consumes only 500 to 800 calories a day.


Though Allison Mack is accused of perpetrating abuse to other cult members, we have to wonder where — after brainwashing — accountability begins and ends.

Allison Mack: Accused of High Rank in Self-Help Slave Cult

Well, this is completely bonkers. But also a pretty serious 


Do you remember that story about the self-help group having a cult where women are branded with the cult leader’s initials?


Well, Smallville actress Allison Mack is now accused of being one of the highest ranking members of that cult. Which is actually super serious.



Allison Mack is an actress whom you probably recognize.


She was a main character on Smallville, the Superman prequel TV series that ran for, and this is neither a joke nor an exaggeration, ten seasons.


Before she played Chloe, Clark Kent’s high school classmate and friend, Allison Mack started off doing commercials as a child.


She got her first big break as an actress when she played a teenager on the Christian family drama 7th Heaven, portraying a self-injuring teenager.


(That 7th Heaven thing involves a weird coincidence and we’ll come back to that)


More recently, Allison Mack had a recurring role on Wilfred. She’s also done voice work for DC animated films, just in the past several years.


The fact that she’s a familiar face to so many makes these accusations against her shocking.



When the NXIVM story broke, there was zero mention of Allison Mack.


The New York Times published a stunning expose of NXIVM and their alleged sex cult.


A woman interviewed described how she had left the organization, which is ostensibly a self-help group (and has been characterized as a pyramid scheme in the past), after being held down and branded.


Yes, branded — like the thing that they do to cattle-thieves in cowboy movies. The thing with a hot iron. being pressed into someone’s skin until the burn is so thorough that the mark is permanent.


(In the case of NXIVM, a doctor is accused of giving the brands with a cauterizing tool … which, to be clear, is not better)


The brands, by the way, are of the cult founder’s initials.


So, yes, we’d leave and tell everything, too — even though this alleged sex cult apparently forces all of its members to sign non-disclosure forms and requires inductees to turn over nude, potentially embarrassing photos that could be used as blackmail.


There are an estimated 16,000 members of NXIVM, but most of them are involved in the self-help side of things. They take “success classes,” which basically sounds like the sort of “give us money and obey us and you’ll succeed” nonsense that you’d expect from the Church of Scientology.


But NXVIUM allegedly has a dark side — a sex cult known as DOS (believed to stand for the Latin phrase, dominus obsequious sororium, meaning “master over the slave women”).


Within this cult, these “slaves” each report to their “master” in a pyramid reaching up to NXIVM’s founder, Keith Raniere.


The women within this hierarchy are said to go on starvation diets, take cold showers, and send their “masters” regular nudes. As part of this, they leave friends and even family behind and devote themselves to this cult.


These serious allegations involve a lot of brainwashing, folks. Also, corporal punishment inflicted upon women who fail to meet expectations.



Reportedly, Allison Mack is part of this cult.


And she is very near the head of it, reporting directly to Keith Raniere.


According to these reports, women who fail to obey Allison Mack are beaten with a paddle, and she is responsible for selecting Keith’s sexual partners as well as doing “normal” recruiting for the cult.


But it’s not all fun and dominion for Allison Mack, who is described as “both perpetrator and victim.”


She, too, has to stay as thin as possible — consuming as little as 500 to 800 calories per day and running 40 miles a week.


It is believed that she was a prize addition to Raniere’s cult because, as a celebrity, she added a degree of polish to Raniere’s image and to his organization.


No one accuses Allison Mack of setting out to do all of this, though — it’s believed that she was brainwashed, just like the many other victims.



Allison Mack’s representative is “passing” on responding to questions, which is … really not a good thing.


These are damning accusations … but we have to bring up something that immediately jumped out at us.


Andrew Keegan is known for being a cult leader. Before that, though, he was an actor — he was in 10 Things I Hate About You and had a recurring role on 7th Heaven.


And we all know what 7th Heaven‘s lead actor, Stephen Collins, has been accused of.


So we have to ask … why is the common point for a cult leader, a high-ranking cult member, and an accused child-molester the same TV series?


And how did Jessica Biel turn out so normal?

R. Kelly Survivor Comes Forward With "Sex Cult" Horror Story!

Over the summer, we heard allegations that R. Kelly keeps teen girls captive in a “sex cult” in which he controls every aspect of their lives, from how they eat to how they serve him.


While these aren’t the first stomach-churning accusations about R. Kelly that we’d heard, this really shed new light on the sort of monster that he allegedly is.


It’s important to recognize that adults can be victims as well. One woman, Kitti Jones, has come forward with accusations of how R. Kelly lured her into a relationship, convinced her to quit her job, and subjected her to a two-year horror show of control and abuse.






In 1994, R. Kelly was 27 years old.


In 1994, he married Aaliyah, who was only 15 years old at the time.


That’s horrifying enough, but when you listen to people talk about their accounts of their experiences with R. Kelly, you start to see a grotesque pattern of not only sexual predation upon minors but of alleged abuse.


In the ’90s, R. Kelly settled at least three suits with women who alleged that he’d preyed upon them when they were minors, and at least one of those women alleged that he’d encouraged her to participate in group sex with him and other minor girls.


Until this summer,t he most notorious thing about R. Kelly was the video tape that surfaced in 2002 and showed a young girl calling R. Kelly “daddy” before he urinated into her mouth.


Though dozens of witnesses identified the girl as having been 14 at the time, jurors somehow acquitted R. Kelly of multiple counts of child pornography … because they “couldn’t” verify her age.


So, you know, another great example of the justice system and how it works … well, how it operates.



All of that is enough reason for you to want to hide your kids.


As it turns out, where R. Kelly is concerned, you might want to hide your wife, too.


Because we heard allegations this summer that indicate that R. Kelly is also a danger to adult women.


(Honestly, a college classmate of mine shared several years ago that a man hit on her in a bar and she assumed that he was just fishing for free drinks — and later learned that it was R. Kelly. I can’t help thinking that she really dodged a bullet)


Back in July, we heard allegations that R. Kelly keeps a number of young women, teenagers included, in a cult-like environment that revolves around them servicing him, sexually.


Beyond that, he is said to keep them isolated from their families and the outside world. He allegedly controls what they eat and when they eat it and even when they go to the bathroom.


According to these accusations, R. Kelly does all of this slowly, grooming them, and effectively brainwashes them into defending him when anyone expresses concern.


Most seriously of all, there were allegations of verbal and physical abuse.


R. Kelly denied these accusations, to no one’s surprise. He was similarly dismissive of the infamous underage pee-tape.


Even back in July, a sex partner of R. Kelly’s confirmed the allegations contained within the damning expose.


And then in August, another alleged sex abuse victim of R. Kelly’s came forward.



Well, a Rolling Stone article titled “Surviving R. Kelly” details the experiences of one survivor named Kitti Jones.


She says that she was a huge fan of R. Kelly growing up — like, a superfan who would get up close to the stage at his concerts. He was her “Brad Pitt,” she says.


On the night that she first met him, they exchanged numbers and he told her to call him “daddy,” not “Rob.” This was back in 2011, and the happy beginning to Kitti’s nightmare.


They texted back and forth and she would send him risque photos. When they saw each other again, Kitti describes R. Kelly as walking into the hotel room, sitting down, and whipping out his penis.


“I was attracted to him and was just like, ‘Well, OK. Fine.’ Maybe he just has weird ways of getting off.”


Well … we guess she’s not wrong.


The two had oral sex that weekend, Kitti says, with R. Kelly saying things like “I gotta teach you how to be with me” and “I gotta train you.” So … yikes.


“He was like a drill sergeant even when he was pleasuring me,” Kitti describes. “He was telling me how to bend my back or move my leg here. I’m like, ‘Why is he directing it like this?’ It was very uncomfortable.”


But his celebrity status, her attraction to him, his months of having groomed her over the phone, and the way that he made her feel special added up to her not worrying about it too much.


At first, she says, she believed their relationship to be monogamous, despite some … warning signs.


“He said, ‘I have friends and I have girls I’ve raised.’ I didn’t know what he meant by ‘raised’ at the time. He said, ‘I eventually want you to meet them, but I want to make sure you’re mentally ready for that."”


FYI, folks, everything that Kitti just described R. Kelly as having said is a huge, huge red flag. And then it gets worse.


R. Kelly would insist that she not interact with men, even male drivers. Also, he convinced her to quit her job, promising ot pay her double her salary as a DJ.


Even before he got her to quit, though, Kitti says that he already had her feeling emotionally tethered to him, and very defensive against any criticism.


“Rob kinda makes you feel like you have to defend him. It’s like you and him against the world. If someone brought him up [in conversation], immediately a wall went up.”



Once she quit her job and moved to be with him, Kitti says that she surrendered even more control to R. Kelly. He dictated how she could dress when she went out in public and required constant check-ins, even texts like “Daddy, I need to go to the restroom.”


The first instance of alleged abuse took place less than a month after Kitti moved in with him, as a result of Kitti challenging him about the pee tape.


His response was fury, and she describes him spending a car ride berating her while striking her in the face and kicking her while she apologized.


The next day, she says, he took her shopping and neither of them addressed what had happened. She says that she considered leaving him, but that she’d have felt silly after having quit her job to be with him.


Unfortunately, as any abuse survivor could tell you, the first incident was not the last. Kitti says that there were 10 instances of R. Kelly inflicting physical abuse upon her during their first year together, and that the abuse happened more frequently the following year.


When R. Kelly went on his “Single Ladies” tour, however, he treated her “like a princess,” which dashed many of Kitti’s misgivings.


(Remember, it’s classic abuser behavior for them to play games with their victims, rewarding them and even making them second-guess how bad things had really gotten)


After the tour, R. Kelly housed Kitti alongside two of his other girlfriends, monitoring their movements with cameras and punishing them by taking away their phones — at one point, taking Kitti’s for two months.


Losing your phone sucks, but in their case, this meant that they couldn’t request food.


In fact, Kitti says that R. Kelly would also use starvation to punish his “girlfriends.” At one point, she went without food for two and a half days.


And though they were living in neighboring rooms, the three women didn’t even know each other’s real names at first, Kitti says. They were also supposed to report on each other if one of them was breaking the rules.


“If you disclose your relationship with him [to another woman] — how long you’ve known him or whatever — you can get beat. He doesn’t want in any way for one girl to feel more like, ‘Oh, we’re closer than you guys.’ Even though we knew deep down we’re all living there, we didn’t address it.”



In March of 2013, Kitti says, R. Kelly once again escalated their relationship by bringing in another young woman, naked, and having her and Kitti have sex with each other.


“He told me, ‘I raised her. I’ve trained this bitch. This is my pet."”


Calling someone your “pet” in roleplay is fine, but this is more severe. And Kitti says that it was the beginning of R. Kelly forcing her into group sex.


“You can’t say no because you’re going to get punished. You just become numb to what’s happening. It’s so traumatic the things that he makes you do to other people and to him.”


And she says that yes, he still enjoys urinating on women in sexual situations.


“He videotapes everything that he does, and sometimes he’ll just make you watch what he’s done to other girls or girls that he had be together. He would masturbate to that and then have you give him oral sex while he’s watching what he did with somebody else on his iPad.”


After six months of “hell” in which Kitti says that she was being punished every week — either being struck in the face or being starved or having her phone taken — Kitti was able to break free.


Fabricating a desire to take her son shopping, she went to Dallas with only a pair of suitcases. That was her escape.


In November of that year, R. Kelly showed up, ostensibly to return her possessions that she’d had to abandon. Instead, she says, he lured her onto his tour bus and inflicted more physical abuse upon her to punish her for leaving.


The two have never seen each other since.


Well, that’s all horrifying.
