One person who had an insight into the ‘Rat” was Becca Friedman, a woman who escaped from NXIVM and did so publicly. She wrote back in Oct. 2010

Rat –

If you are real, then it’s not that you ‘can’t’ come forward. It is that you ‘won’t’ because you are scared. You can run for the rest of your life and perhaps never be caught, but at the end of the day it’s still you looking in the mirror, living with your heinous acts and trying to sleep at night, knowing that you helped Keith Raniere emotionally and physically rape vulnerable girls who just wanted to be loved and accepted. And you assisted Keith Raniere in doing the same to women who were lesbians, apparently a huge notch in his belt, and then convinced them that suicide was their only way out of the hellish hole they were existing in. You tried to convince yourself you were supporting humanity but you knew you never were. That’s how badly you wanted to feel loved and accepted, as well. ….

About the Author

Frank Parlato is an investigative journalist.

His work has been cited in hundreds of news outlets, like The New York Times, The Daily Mail, VICE News, CBS News, Fox News, New York Post, New York Daily News, Oxygen, Rolling Stone, People Magazine, The Sun, The Times of London, CBS Inside Edition, among many others in all five continents.

His work to expose and take down NXIVM is featured in books like “Captive” by Catherine Oxenberg, “Scarred” by Sarah Edmonson, “The Program” by Toni Natalie, and “NXIVM. La Secta Que Sedujo al Poder en México” by Juan Alberto Vasquez.

Parlato has been prominently featured on HBO’s docuseries “The Vow” and was the lead investigator and coordinating producer for Investigation Discovery’s “The Lost Women of NXIVM.” Parlato was also credited in the Starz docuseries "Seduced" for saving 'slave' women from being branded and escaping the sex-slave cult known as DOS.

Additionally, Parlato’s coverage of the group OneTaste, starting in 2018, helped spark an FBI investigation, which led to indictments of two of its leaders in 2023.

Parlato appeared on the Nancy Grace Show, Beyond the Headlines with Gretchen Carlson, Dr. Oz, American Greed, Dateline NBC, and NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, where Parlato conducted the first-ever interview with Keith Raniere after his arrest. This was ironic, as many credit Parlato as one of the primary architects of his arrest and the cratering of the cult he founded.

Parlato is a consulting producer and appears in TNT's The Heiress and the Sex Cult, which premiered on May 22, 2022. Most recently, he consulted and appeared on Tubi's "Branded and Brainwashed: Inside NXIVM," which aired January, 2023.
