Pictures from a NXIVM amateur talent show

Periodically Keith Raniere puts on a show. Not that he appears in it. But it is his show.

The talent all provided by Nxians. The audience all Nxians and the bill sent – I imagine – to Clare Bronfman.

Here is a link with scores of pictures of a Nxian talent show:  myimagesinc.smugmug.com/VW2013-1/NXIAN-Talent/

These shows, which may from time to time, display some genuine talent are, I am pretty certain, more or less an amateur hour [or two] filled with high school-level or lower talent. Like in high school shows, parents come to see and praise their children, it is not alien to me to imagine that many of the ‘talents’ here came to be seen and praised by Keith Raniere and Nancy Salzman.

In fact one of the pictures seems like it could be Raniere – at least it appears to be Raniere judging from the back of his head.

Note the position of his hand…. 

Also apparently Allison Mack is crying up a river in song. I wonder how it sounds?

  • Oh Allison can sing and act. It’s a shame she’s just wasting her time taking courses that are regurgitation of an amalgam of ancient ripped off philosophy and Scientology instead of ironically, maximizing her potential.

    She’s got talent unlike the talentless hack who she calls a mentor and is really nothing more than a good BSer. How come Raniere ain’t showing off his Judo skills or his concert level piano skills?

    “Sound is sacred…our…essence…the univers…blah…blah…”

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.
