In 2025, Allison Mack, the former Smallville actress, is speaking out about her involvement with the NXIVM cult. Mack, who was a high-ranking member of the organization, is now revealing the shocking details of her duties within the group.
Mack explains how she was tasked by NXIVM's founder, Keith Raniere, to recruit other young women to join the cult. She describes herself as the "link" between Raniere and the victims, who were indoctrinated into a system of "slaves" and "masters." Mack, who admits she was not naturally assertive, managed to tap into a sense of authority to bring in new recruits and expand the cult's reach.
In 2021, Mack pled guilty to charges of racketeering and racketeering conspiracy and was sentenced to 3 years in prison.
