Former high-ranking NXIVM member Allison Mack was released from federal custody early due to “good conduct” credit under the First Step Act release initiative, prison officials said.
"I did not expect to get a letter from her, and the tone seemed honest and really sad, and also ... like she has seen the truth of who Keith Raniere really is," India Oxenberg said of her former NXIVM "master" Allison Mack.
Allison Mack, one of NXIVM founder and leader Keith Raniere’s top lieutenants, was involved in recruiting women into a secret sex cult within the controversial self-improvement organization.
“I am sorry I ever exposed you to the nefarious and emotionally abusive schemes of a twisted man,” actress Allison Mack wrote in a letter to those she had recruited into NXIVM ahead of her sentencing later this week.
According prosecutors, audio that Allison Mack provided them served as crucial evidence to implicate Raniere as the architect of NXIVM’s “branding ceremony.”
India Oxenberg said that she had been indoctrinated so thoroughly throughout her time in NXIVM that she couldn't recognize the red flags around being made to serve her DOS "masters."
NXIVM member Nicki Clyne, who claims that the group's leader Keith Raniere was wrongfully convicted, has been banned from speaking to her wife, former DOS ringleader Allison Mack.
A former member of the alleged cult claims that the "Smallville" actress convinced her to make a sex tape and write a letter falsely accusing her own father of sexual abuse as a way to prove her commitment to the group.
