Jessica Joan: Where is the NXIVM Cult Survivor Now?
Published By admin with Comments 0
In Hulu’s ‘How I Escaped My Cult: NXIVM / The Vow,’ the focus is on Keith Raniere and the NXIVM, which was a sex cult under the guise of a personal development organization. By manipulating women, the cult leader used to have sexual relations with women in his cult. When Jessica Joan realized the same, she parted ways with the NXIVM and played a significant role in bringing down the cult once and for all. She helped the authorities collect evidence against Keith Raniere and his accomplice, Allison Mack, and bring the criminals to justice.
During the victim impact statement at Allison’s hearing, Jessica stated, “She is the Ghislaine Maxwell to Keith’s Jeffrey Epstein.” After the convict received a three-year imprisonment sentence, the survivor also told People, “I respect the judge’s decision, I know he had a lot to grapple with, but me personally, I don’t feel the remorse from her. I do pray that one day she can see the light, but I don’t think that was today.” Over the following years, she has also been interviewed by CBS, Fox, Variety, Dr. Oz, and more, in order to get her survival story out into the world.
In order to pursue her dreams of becoming an actor, Jessica Joan took acting classes at The Imagined Life Theatre and Marjorie Ballentine Studios. On the academic front, she graduated from the Orange Coast College. She took her first step in the industry around 2010 by featuring in ‘Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus’ as a background actor. In the next few years, she got the opportunity to star in a couple of TV shows — ‘This Indie Thing’ as Jasmine and ‘Run DMZ’ as Kelsey. Moreover, she features in a couple of short films titled ‘Running South’ and ‘Gloves’ and movies titled ‘Contracted’ and ‘Harvest Moon.’
