Allison Mack Gives First In-Depth Account of NXIVM Role in CBC’s ‘Allison After NXIVM

She acknowledges using her celebrity to recruit and coerce women, framing the series as a reckoning.

Overview

  • The seven-episode CBC/Campside Media podcast premiered Nov. 10, delivering Mack’s first extensive interview since her 2023 release from federal prison.
  • Mack says she was “excited by the power” and describes her fame as a “power tool” she used to “get people to do what I wanted,” accepting that she moved Keith Raniere’s vision forward.
  • She details serving as a DOS “master,” recruiting and pressuring women, enforcing control through collateral and branding, and relaying directives that led women to Raniere.
  • Mack recounts Raniere telling her sexual intimacy was necessary to “heal” her, which she now describes as manipulation within NXIVM’s coercive system.
  • She pleaded guilty to racketeering, received a three-year sentence, and was released early in 2023; Raniere is serving 120 years, while Mack is pursuing a master’s in social work and has married Frank Meeink.
