Allison Mack Breaks Silence in CBC Podcast, Admitting Abusive Conduct in NXIVM

The series serves as her first sustained reckoning with complicity under Keith Raniere’s manipulation.

Overview

  • Allison After NXIVM, a seven-episode CBC/Uncover podcast produced with Campside Media and hosted by Natalie Robehmed, debuted Nov. 10 as Mack’s first in-depth public account since her 2023 release from federal prison.
  • Mack says she used her Smallville fame as a “power tool” to recruit and influence people, adding she was “very effective in moving Keith’s vision forward.”
  • She acknowledges being “aggressive” and “abusive,” describing emotional coercion of women and reflecting on victim impact statements at her 2021 sentencing, saying she does not see herself as innocent.
  • Mack recounts how Raniere told her physical intimacy was needed to “help” and “heal” her, detailing grooming tactics within DOS, where women were branded, kept on extreme diets, and pressured to provide compromising “collateral.”
  • She pleaded guilty to racketeering-related charges and was sentenced to three years in 2021 before early release in July 2023, while Raniere is serving a 120-year sentence; Mack now pursues graduate study in social work and has remarried.
