    1. If she actually felt bad for her victims she would never be this public ever again. She clearly doesn’t care about anyone but herself

    2. How about each episode they feature a different NXIVM victim as a guest, and Allison Mack needs to listen to them talk for an hour on how she and Keith Raniere destroyed their life. Now THAT I’d listen to.

      As an FYI, the official description from CBC states it’s about her rebuilding her life and redemption:

      *Allison after NXIVM tells the story of Allison Mack: former Smallville actress, high-ranking NXIVM member, and convicted felon. With exclusive access following her release from prison, this series traces her astonishing path from Smallville fame to NXIVM’s inner circle — and her effort to rebuild a life in the wreckage. Through raw interviews and revealing conversations with those who knew her before, during, and after NXIVM, this season dives deep into the gray zones of influence, accountability, and redemption.*

      It also only names Ranier as the leader, excluding her.

      Whole thing reads like gross white washing and PR campaign for her.

      This whole thing was just awful. I liked her character on smallville but she’s a shitty person and always will be.

      Need news outlets to understand headline framing matters. This is NOT it.

    6. Cults have perpetrators and victims. And most people in them are variating degrees of both.

      “I don’t see myself as innocent.”

      Well that’s good…mainly because cause you aren’t. 🤷🏼

      ‘I don’t see myself as innocent’

      Hmm. You don’t say? Also, “surviving”????

      Shame on you, Variety.

      Real question. What did she do? I watched the documentary and I got really confused. It seemed like she just talked people into doing weird sex shit and get a brand? What did I miss?

      Michael Rosenbaum has a great story where Allison came over to his house out of the blue with a guy from the cult, which he didn’t know about her whole other life btw, and they just let themselves in and ate his food and left without asking to come in and asking. He just kept going WTF?!

      I mean, yeah, you knowingly recruited women into a sex cult. You aren’t innocent.

      The Vow Part 2 might be the best documentary about coercive mind control and cults ever made.

      At the risk of being attacked by those who fear nuance – her causing harm does not negate that she was a victim as well. Both can be and are true at the same time. And this is often the case in cults. Her being a victim also doesn’t mean she shouldn’t face accountability. Based on how our legal system works (and I’m not saying our legal system is right/good), she did face accountability for the harm she caused.

      Surviving… Who’s paying for this to be published

      Of course she survived when she was one of the people running it

      Just publicity for her podcast

    15. I get she’s also a victim but all signs point to her doing horrific things to others and frankly she got off light imo

    16. Least_House_2364 on

      Trying to make one of the abusers seem like a victim is definitely a play.
