Guest View: Allison Mack Was a Victim of Everything the Other DOS Slaves Were

Allison Mack - she fell in live with Nxivm and then with Keith Raniere. Was she a victim of his evilness or did she gladly participate in his crimes?

By a Friend  

Allison Mack is a victim.  The victimizer part was not demonstrated in court.

The only crime demonstrated(-ish) is her collecting collateral.  The rest is prosecution BS – made to create a RICO case.  The forced labor charge is BS.

Keith Raniere’s attorney, Marc Agnifillo, made an excellent point, when he asked Allison’s slave Nicole, in reference to contacts Allison used to get Nicole an audition on Broadway, ”Did you pay for Allison’s help?”

The point is they helped each other. It was not forced labor.

Allison didn’t threaten anyone with anything. She said clearly, “My master wants to release your collateral”.

This was confirmed later by the fact that Raniere threatened Nicole.

And don’t forget, Allison was being extorted by Raniere as well.

Three Reasons

I think she pleaded guilty for three reason:

1 – The prosecution said they would try to prove she knew about the pedophilia. Even if they couldn’t prove this, it would have been dramatic. Juries vote with their hearts.

2 – The judge refused to give her a separate trial (and since the pedophilia of Raniere was to be shown to the jury, it would have had an impact on her defense. Juries vote with a “birds of a feather” mentality in RICO cases.

3 -No more money. [The Clare well ran dry].  Perhaps her lawyers were pushing Allison to take a plea deal to avoid working for free. [It may have been the right choice given #1 and #2 above.]

The Raniere trial did not show Allison guilty of anything else but, at worst, extortion.

And that is true only if you selectively interpret the context and forget that Allison was under the same collateralization system that victims, Nicole and Jaye, [DOS slaves who testified about Allison] were.

Was She a Victim?

Frank Report asks about Mack in the article Part 1: Gems from Trial: Allison Mack Email Describes Threesome with Raniere and Dani Padilla:

“What if she really, truly did it all with the goal of being a better person, a more genuine woman, a more spiritual one, a woman who wanted to go from wrong to right, darkness to light, death to immortality, and the man she chose to lead her led her to darkness, to wrong, to death almost?

“If that is true, is she not then at least in part a victim?”

The email mentioned in the article (not only this email but other emails shown at trial] show that Allison’s goal was to be a better person (She said this WAY before Nxivm).

She had a poor opinion of herself. It was not humility, but lack of confidence (I know, it’s a contradiction with her being an actress, but to her, acting was being someone she failed to be in real life.)

Remember also two things about her threesome email:

– Strict unsafe diet since 2013 and sleep deprivation made her unable to think properly.

– Other slaves clearly stated they had to praise dickhead (Raniere) or face possible punishment.

Even victim-witnesses [Dani, Nicole, Jaye] had sent this kind of (for me) creepy mail [praising Raniere].

Allison isn’t more or less a victim than India, Nicole or any other victim. She is completely a victim.

So abused that she tried to rationalize the situation (or make the best of it).

Many victims (for years, and without anyone trying to help them) end up finding excuses and defending their victimizers.

A List of Proof

Allison was a victim of EVERYTHING the other DOS slaves were:

-She was beaten (on several occasion if we believe what was written on Frank Report).

-She was put to starvation (that is obvious, just look at the pictures).

-She was sleep deprived (ask Nicole about that. She testified about the strange game Allison was doing in the morning).

-She was obviously having sex against her own desire (when you read the threesome email, why would she talk about vulnerability, insecurity or being nervous. She also said, ‘I struggle with love and relationships.”)

-She was collateralized (and at a higher level than the other victims).

Who knows what Raniere told her before she was fully collateralized?

It’s highly likely that the slaves didn’t know what they would have to do once they were fully collateralized.

And Allison was really badly collateralized.

She had to choose between accepting the situation or destroying her family.

And before we go with the usual, “but she gave them willingly”.  No, this isn’t true. Some people in Nxivm saw that he was pushing her to give more collateral as far back as 2013.

For me, it’s clear that she is a full victim – either that or others have to be considered to be victimizers too. Jaye admitted she was trying herself to bring (almost) a new DOS slave (while she knew it was bad).

Allison’s email about her threesome is just sad and shows the emotional and psychological distress he was putting her through.

I think it is impossible to know. Even people involved in this kind of thing often are not sure. Any woman (or man for that matter) who has given in to a partner for a quiet life will not really know if they have consented or not. Bring into the mix those into BDSM and it gets even harder to know what is consent and what is not.

If KR had had the self improvement backed up with weekly weigh ins like Weightwatchers rather than his or whoever suggested it idea of naked photos and if he had kept sex out of it all he would not be where he is.

Yes! Agree 100%. That being said she is still responsible in part and should face consequences.. but I also have a problem with people like Bronfman and Nancy Salzman facing less time than Allison. India was actively recruiting people.. is India somehow more of a victim than Allison (who endured the abuse and manipulation for MUCH longer) just because she had a mother that recognized what was happening and did everything in her power to stop it?

You need to read Mack’s statement at the guilty plea hearing, the trial didn’t have anything to prove about Mack.

A lot of actors lack confidence.

Mack doesn’t know what being a “better person” means.

Mack may be no less a victim than the others, but she is much more the perp than them.

Perhaps.

But she also had a unique role as a perpetrator, Raniere’s henchwoman who had the collateral DropBox, and who was effectively in charge of DOS and also reportedly lead it once Raniere was arrested. That’s why she was indicted by a grand jury that reviewed much more evidence and testimony than we’ve ever seen, and had to plead guilty – though there are definitely questions remaining about exactly what her role was.

No , she didn’t…
The Dropbox is likely not hers…I remind you that many people had their account “controlled” or “managed” by others…
The only person retaining the collateral in the end was Raniere.
And in charge? what are you talking about?! you do know how to read?

“though there are definitely questions remaining about exactly what her role was”

Not really, It was proved that her role was really minor…Only a few here try to prove she was more but the reality is that she was just another victim.

The creation of DOS ? Raniere
Branding idea ? Raniere (and we now know for sure that her Initial were never part of the branding)
Giving Orders ? Raniere
Sexual assignement and order sexual stuff? Raniere (messages show this)

Did she had Something criminal to do outside of DOS, witnesses say clearly NO

Lauren was in for 20 years(ish), Vicente was for a long time too…most other, same.
Any of them tied Allison to any other crimes than the one in DOS? no

Dani’s case ? Allison was related? no
Cami’s case? no

The only crime she was linked was the extorsion , that’s it! and her role is the same as Lauren , India and technically anyone who tried to recruit for DOS…

“Madame Mack,” as the slaves apparently called her – and which says a lot about her pivotal role – actively ran the ongoing collateral collection, and had slaves sign contracts or confidentiality agreements as well, according to testimony at trial. Raniere indeed put her in charge of such things.

If her role was minor, she wouldn’t have been one of the top 5 people indicted.

Well you know the frenchie…than you know what “madame” really means to people who are not insane like you? just that…madam
I remind you (but you’ll ignore) that Allison was using (and abusing) french words in her vocabulary.
Using terms misunderstood like “you are a delicious guest”… Are you stupid enough to Believe that she tasted that guest? you are such a moron sometime (all the time but i try to positively reinforce you)

“actively ran the ongoing collateral collection, and had slaves sign contracts or confidentiality agreements as well, according to testimony at trial. Raniere indeed put her in charge of such things.”
They all had those contracts…It was Raniere’s thing. But let’s pretend (while the court proved the opposite) that she was such a major player that she had her own contract?
After all, in you silly world, Fact are made to be twisted! no?

“If her role was minor, she wouldn’t have been one of the top 5 people indicted.”
Excuse me but people were really clearly more involved and weren’t indicted, what you say is BS…
The only Reason she was indicted is because of the fact the she had 1 witness to talk about her experience …
The proof are absolutely not showing anything more than another victim.
The collecting collateral is clearly accepted by everyone (as by me) as a crime but it’s not extorsion at it’s full extend.
And she was collateralized herself…

BTW, isn’t that funny that she was supposetly in “charge” (only in your world) of the collateral ? she was collateralized herself but she’s in CHARGE !?
How collateralize themselves when they are in charge? I’ll leave you to answer this question.

Nice try but you are still showing how ridiculous your attempts are.

She controlled one pod and was constantly following Raniere’s orders.

When was Allison Mack ever self motivated or overachieving? She branded and spanked and collected collateral…….

all on Raniere’s orders. She was not acting solo.

Actually, once again you should have switched your alias because your point is WAY MORE SENSIBLE than Anonymaker (but he is just like that when Allison is mention…the shadow in him is coming out)

“She should be punished….but how many years should she get?”
She was punished already beyond what her crime was…
She was coerced and collateralized herself, She didn’t threaten the 1 victim of the case and contrary to what some Believe, she was actually described as a loving person…
All she did was collecting collateral (like you said at Raniere’s demand and Under coercion )

If she still needs to be punished (after a year and a half being kept at home which is (from the judge’s word) as bad as a prison), a Community work period and probation of 1 to 3 years would fit the punishment perfectly.

And even that would be harsh when seeing that she was a victim and that contrary to Nicole, she’ll never get back anything she worked for.

Anyone that followed this idiot to Mexico and who was preparing for a group BJ is not a victim. They enjoyed this lifestyle and enjoyed victimizing others! The consenting to the DOS lifestyle but tried to wrap it in a pretty package of “badass women” instead of being honest about needing a BDSM lifestyle. The witness “J” was badass. She rightfully identified Allison as a vindictive and manipulative human being. I give Allison permission to enjoy prison. The only one that deserves a low ball sentence is Lauren Salzman who had the guts to testify. Allison and Clare Bare are cowards and victimizers.

I don’t disagree with you but in the photo above, she looks sick and starved. Don’t forget the brain fog that comes from calorie and sleep deprivation. Not an excuse, but maybe an indicator or Raniere’s insidious influence to get people to do what they would not, under normal circumstances? Just a thought.

DOS was a co-creation of Raniere and Mack. He had the idea, and then they worked out a lot of the details together. She admitted in an interview that she came up with the branding idea because a tattoo wasn’t enough. She lied to her victims, saying that it wouldn’t hurt much and then held them still, while the screamed out their pain. That alone is worth a lengthy custodial sentence.

It’s a decision made by the prosecution…They select what they need to prove the case.

Sometime, they can keep a witness (by guilty plea) out to make sure the person can’t justify themselves.

Lauren’s testimony was both critical for the case but a absolute Failure for the prosecution as she is seen as a victim by the court.
If Allison came to court to testify, it would have helped the case but the plea deal would be proved to be unfair and she could have avoided completly jail time.
The trial is still showing she is not as implicated as the prosecution pretended at first. Their own witnesses shows that.

Allison was ready to testify.(She actually started this process by giving the data usb key and her allocution)

Not sure if Salzman testified because she had guts, she may have made a deal with the DOJ and the others weren’t even offered a deal, Salzman was enough. Besides, having multiple DOS people testify may have led to conflicts that the defense would have picked apart, better to go with a single story.

It’s my understanding that once collateral was given, it negates consent.
A blackmailed person cannot give consent to be exploited. Period.
So from the time she gave collateral, she was a victim.

But then she took collateral from others, managed the collection of collateral, and leveraged it against those under her.

She was also a co-conspirator and perpetrator, in a way that others were not – which is why she was indicted, and plead guilty.

Allison Mack - Guilty Felon

I’m not buying this load of crap that Allison has no responsibility in her actions. Allison chose each action she did for her Master and at any time could have said

Mack could have said at any time as others had before her;

NOPE, NOT GOING TO DO IT. I WILL STAND TALL AND TAKE WHAT YOU THROW AT ME, BUT I WON’T BE A CRIMINAL FOR YOU.

Would it not be a better outcome for her had she done that? Now she will also be known as a Federal Criminal and Keith Raniere’s Madam. She will wear his brand into a federal prison and will have plenty of time to think about her evil deeds.

Allison had several chances to get out of NXIVM long before her arrest. Several times she chose to believe her Master instead of taking in any other DATA that is out there. Much like those that are still “The Believers.”

First – let’s talk about the Nine (9) women who left in 2009 – Did Mack check out why they left and the Center she trained at closed it door suddenly? NOPE, she followed her Master Keith Raniere long before DOS was even born.

Second – let’s talk about the 2012 Times Union articles that came out with women who her Master Keith Raniere had sex with before they were the age of consent – HE RAPED THEM. Allison Mack chose to believe her Master Keith Raniere. Once again, instead of taking in any DATA other than what she wanted to believe was a reality. Again this was long before DOS was born.

Third – Allison is introduced to Keith Rainier’s alternate lifestyle when it comes to sexual relationships. Allison Mack starts to have sex with Raniere knowing he has sex with many women, but she can only have sex with him. Hum… what kind of woman agrees to this kind of “one way, he gets it all” kind of relationship? One who is looking for something she thinks is missing. How can she get it from the external world if she is following NXIVM’s so-called “Tech”?

Fourth – let’s talk about the news articles about how Keith Raniere had plotted with Emiliano Salinas to have four women lured to Mexico, arrested on false charges, imprisoned, tortured and then are disposed. Allison Mack choose to believe her Master Keith Raniere instead on taking any DATA he was a dangerous man

Fifth – Allison becomes the kind of woman who is willing to do anything for her man. Regardless of anything that pulls her into “hey this guy is nuts” direction, Allison ignores all the red flags coming from her gut. Allison decides to step over the line and become a criminal.
A criminal for what purpose? She was getting paid as a head trainer. Those who were in NXIVM know if you upset the Master, such things as a head trainer are taken away from you.
Since Mack chose to give up her acting career, what options did she leave herself to make that kind of money and have that kind of power within NXIVM? Mack was in the same boat as Lauren Salzman. If you leave, you lose your income and your “family” the community. You might even get sued as many who left had been. Who wants to work at the Cheese Cake Factory like many in NXIVM did when they could no longer work within NXIVM or for Clare Bronfman?

Six – Raniere got arrested, and Allison Mack did not go to the FBI upon returning from Mexico, she decided to wait for herself to get arrested. Once arrested, Mack waited a very long time before making a plea deal with the DOJ.
• Her lawyers knew the first on the plea bus get the best deal.
• Her lawyers knew this was a RICO case and the government was not going to spend the money on two trials
• It was never Clare Bronfman’s responsibility to pay for Allison Mack’s Defense
• The Judge held a special hearing, and Allison Mack told the Judge she was happy with her defense team – Now Mack wants to be a cry baby about how the DOJ handled her deal. WTF

If I work for a mob boss and I shot a guy in the back of the head because I fear for my family or my own life, I’m still breaking the law. I have refused to look at what my options are other than murder the guy for my boss. It’s still murder. NXIVM teaches a class to take a look at what all your options are; Mack had the tool of looking at what all her options were throughout her time in NXIVM in her toolbox.

“The only crime demonstrated(-ish) is her collecting collateral. The rest is prosecution BS ”

Wrong!

It was not collateral.
Your use of the word collateral is deceptive.
Collateral is what people use to get a bank loan.
That material was blackmail pure and simple.
AND BLACKMAIL IS ILLEGAL.

Your use of the word “collateral” displays a bias in favor of Allison Mack and NXIVM.
Using the word “collateral” in this context is Orwellian Doublespeak.

Your use of the word “collateral” in this context is a LIE.

Allison Mack engaged in several types of action that made her an integral part of a sex trafficking organization.

1.) Allison Mack recruited women to join the NXIVM DOS cult which was basically a sex trafficking operation.
Remember this story about an Albany wine bar hostess who was approached by Allison Mack and Mack took a selfie with this woman?
This was a clear attempt by Allison Mack to recruit a woman for the sex cult.
And Recruitment is an important part of sex trafficking.
Exclusive: Woman Describes Meeting Allison Mack
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=2kDc_UAcGHc

2.) Allison Mack trained and disciplined the women to serve as sex slaves.
This training included physical punishments.

“All Mack’s slaves must be on standby 24 hours per day and keep phones by their bedside in case they get a text from her. If they get a text, they must respond within 60 seconds or face punishment – which can include being paddled with a large wooden paddle on their naked buttocks. Mack instituted corporal punishment to instill obedience among women prior to Raniere’s arrest.”

Former Slave Describes Allison Mack’s Alleged Abusive, Terrifying Behavior in Detail
In the latest testimony in the trial of Keith Raniere, a woman identified as Nicole told the jury what it was like going from aspiring actress to the “slave” of ‘Smallville’ star Allison Mack
https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/nxivm-trial-allison-mack-sex-slave-nicole-abuse-keith-raniere-845830/

All three of these acts are the acts of a Pimp.
Allison Mack is a Pimp.

“The prosecution said they would try to prove she (Allison Mack) knew about the pedophilia.

1.) Allison Mack knew that Raniere justified sexual relations between adults and 12 year old children.
Is Allison Mack too stupid to understand that a person who justifies acts of pedophilia is probably a pedophile?
One does not have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure this out.
Did Allison Mack even give a damn about Raniere’s approval of pedophilia?

2.) When Allison Mack was confronted by “Jaye” with an Albany times-Union story from the internet about Raniere’s relationship with 12 year old Rhiannon what was Allison Mack’s reaction?
In the news business it is called a Non-Denial Denial.
A weaselly way of denying something without actually denying it.
Allison Mack said, “Do you think I would work for a pedophile?”
This deceptive answer was Allison Mack’s devious way of denying Raniere’s well known pedophilia without actually denying it.
Allison Mack is as devious as any politician in Washington DC or Albany.

3.) If Allison Mack did not know about Raniere’s pedophilia then why did she try to impress Raniere with a bogus story about her nephew being molested?
Why did Allison Mack try to impress Raniere with another bogus story about her being molested when she (Allison Mack) was a child?
Allison Mack knew damned well that Keith Raniere was a pedophile and these type of stories about child molestation would turn him on.

As a further thought on this issue of Allison Mack’s willingness to concoct bogus accusations of molestation to impress Keith Raniere, after this long sorry history of Allison Mack being willing to fabricate the truth on such a serious matter why would any sane man or woman want to form a relationship with Allison Mack?
Allison Mack has shown a willingness to manufacture false stories to advance her interests.
Even false stories that would cause legal jeopardy for others.
One has to wonder if Allison Mack lacks the capacity to discern truth from falsehood and why that distinction is important.

Furthermore, Allison Mack was not a prisoner.
Allison Mack always had access to a car and could travel to anywhere she wantedd.
She traveled to Europe and Asia and Latin America.
She traveled all over America.
She always had access to a computer and a cellphone.
She was never isolated from her family or her pre-NXIVM friends.
If Allison Mack was a victim it was because she chose to be a victim.

For all of Mack’s braggadocio about being empowered she was and is an immature person who lacked the backbone to stand up for what is right.
She lacked the certitude to reject wrongful conduct because she lacks a moral compass.

Women like “Nicole” and “Jaye”, who were not as well to do as Allison Mack, still had the backbone and common sense to reject a sex trafficking scheme.

“And Allison was really badly collateralized.”

Why was Allison Mack “collateralized”?

Because Allison Mack is so desperate for her object of affection, Keith Raniere, that she was willing to open herself up to potential blackmail.
And she was willing to open up other women for potential blackmail.

Allison Mack is an emotionally immature , mentally stunted woman.
Calling her stupid really does not go far enough.
Allison Mack is an imbecile.

And what happens in our society to people who are imbeciles?
Frequently their imbecilic behavior lands them in prison.
Society must be protected from the actions of imbeciles like Allison Mack.

Completely agree. You’ve said it far more articulately than I could. The only person without collateral hanging over his head was the asshole in charge. The whole system was his idea, and that’s why in my mind, the clearest line to draw is between him and all the women in the DOS pyramid. He created something evil for his benefit and no one else’s.

“I feel sorry for them… seeing how mysoginistic you are!”

How am I misogynistic?
Do you think I took a hot iron and branded my female financial adviser and female doctor the same way Dr. Danielle Roberts did acting under Allison Mack’s direction?
Do you think I turned my female financial adviser and my female doctor into sex slaves the way Allison Mack did the women under her?
How come Allison Mack and the Top Tier DOS slave masters are never labelled as misogynists?
Are females given a pass when they abuse other women?

BTW when I meet my female financial adviser and my female doctor I greet them with a handshake the same way I would greet them if they were male.
Does that bother you?

Wow, the Nuremberg defendants would have loved to have you as their advocate.

After all, they were not the ones who ordered the Jews to be gassed and turned into forced laborers. It was their master’s orders, Adolf Hitler. They were merely following the orders of their master. Therefore they are innocent in your eyes.

Great argument.

Are you a legal scholar from Harvard?

“I vas chust vollowing orders!”

By this standard, everyone in Hitler’s SS was a victim too.

I have to laugh at the article above. She wasn’t guilty of anything but extortion. Oh, is that all? Just a little extortion.

Mack pleaded guilty to racketeering because she was guilty of racketeering. She followed Raniere’s every instruction, to the letter and with enthusiasm. She seems to have been his most loyal lieutenant, a central part of this criminal racket, involved in the operation up to her eyebrows. Central to the deception, essential to luring young actresses into the slavery ring, central to collecting blackmail material. Just listen to the audio of the two of them, out for a nice little stroll together, planning how the branding of their slaves was to be carried out. In revolting detail.

She was clearly involved in sex trafficking. She was extremely fortunate that the prosecution was generous enough to drop that charge against her. She should be looking at a minimum 15 years in a federal penitentiary on that rap alone.

Maybe her defense should be: “I was ordering followers”

That is, Mack was just the intermediary, passing on the orders that KAR’s followers were eager to obey.
No DOS gals were forced into an “oven”…they hardly even went into the kitchen.

In addition to all of that, Mack was a (minor) celebrity and her job was to add credibility and interest to NXIVM, something most other women could not do.

All of these woman he had sex were his victims. He stood in the way of them having a happy life with a monogamous husband and to have children. He only cared about himself. Most of these woman are beyond child bearing years and still single. What about the love that all humans deserve. society will be served for his to be put away for many years so these woman can get some professional help and move on with their lives.

Mary, I agree with you. He stole from them in the name of a fabricated “higher purpose,” when all he cared about was himself. I will bet a certain percentage of the contributors here have been victimized – not by KAR, but by someone else they thought had their best interests in mind.

Well when you’ll learn to make sense, i’ll consider to give some credit to your nonsensical post with a decent answer.

If she’s just a victim, why did she plead guilty?

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.
