Disgraced Smallville actress Allison Mack claimed she had joined Keith Raniere’s Nxivm sex cult because he had promised to make her a star again.

Mack, 40, who is serving a three-year sentence after pleading guilty to manipulating women to become sex slaves for Raniere, made the revelation in a newly unearthed interview with reporter Vanessa Grigoriadis.

‘I asked Keith if he would help me become a great actress again because I felt like I was a fraud,’ she told Grigoriadis in the 2017 interview to air on the journalist’s podcast.

The Honey We Shrunk Ourselves star ultimately said that she decided to stay with NXIVM despite allegations of sexual abuse because she had only done ‘consistently good’ things.

Mack also defended Raniere, telling Grigoriadis that he was ‘not the head of a harem,’ and that she was not a recruiter for a cult, likening the allegations against her to McCarthyism.

‘I’m not recruiting young, nubile women to be his sex slaves,’ she said. ‘You know, it’s The Crucible, it’s the McCarthy trials, it’s just like, throwing accusations and spreading like wildfire.’
