‘Smallville’ actress Allison Mack shares how NXIVM leader claimed sex was needed to ‘heal’ her
Published By admin
“Smallville” actress Allison Mack broke her silence Monday about working with NXIVM cult leader Keith Raniere.
In the seven-episode CBC podcast, “Allison After NXIVM,” the former child actor described how Raniere convinced her that a physical relationship was required to “heal” her.
Raniere, a self-improvement guru whose organization attracted millionaires and actresses among its supporters, was sentenced to 120 years in prison in 2020 after being convicted on seven counts that included racketeering, racketeering conspiracy, wire fraud conspiracy, forced labor conspiracy, sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy and attempted sex trafficking. After Mack confided in a NXIVM friend that she was struggling with her sexuality, the actress was encouraged to speak to Raniere about her personal life.
“So that’s when I approached Keith and I said, ‘I feel like I really struggle with my sexuality,’” Mack remembered. “‘I think that there were things that happened when I was a kid that weren’t OK. I can’t feel myself connecting to my sexuality. I feel ashamed of my body and my sexuality. Like, I don’t understand how I can get around this.’ And he was like, ‘Well, I can help you with that.’”
Mack added, “He said, ‘But in order for me to help you with that, we’re going to have to be physically intimate because it’s an experiential problem that you’re having.'”

“‘So I can’t just theoretically help you through it. You have to have the experience of going through it.'”
Somehow, Rainere’s proposal made sense to Mack through the NXIVM lens, which is how their physical relationship began.
