Marc Elliot Sues HBO Over NXIVM Series The Vow
NXIVM’s Marc Elliot, featured in the HBO documentary series The Vow, is suing the network, producers, and directors of the show.
Elliot claims The Vow aired a phone call recorded without his permission, which he claims is an invasion of privacy.
He filed the lawsuit in St. Louis City Circuit Court on Tuesday, seeking over $75,000 in damages.
The Vow, spanning two seasons, narrates the story of NXIVM, its leader Keith Raniere, and his numerous followers, including Smallville actress Allison Mack and Seagram beverage heiress Clare Bronfman.
In 2019, Raniere was found guilty of racketeering, sex trafficking, and other charges and is currently serving a 120-year prison sentence.
The third episode of The Vow’s second season prominently features Elliot delving into NXIVM’s alleged treatment for Tourette’s syndrome.
Elliot asserts that NXIVM’s talk therapy and “self-help courses” helped him overcome the condition.
The lawsuit centers around a phone call between Elliot and Isabella Constantino, a woman who suffered from Tourettes, and is leaving NXIVM due to concerns about Raniere’s branding of female followers with his initials.
The docuseries portrays Elliot attempting to convince her to rethink her decision to leave the group.
The second season of The Vow premiered on October 17, 2022 and follows the federal prosecution of Raniere.
This six-part season also focuses on Nancy Salzman, NXIVM’s former president, known as “Prefect.”
Elliot claims Salzman and Raniere’s application of NXIVM’s techniques helped him overcome Tourettes Syndrome.
Although Elliot signed a release for the filmmakers in 2020, he alleges it only covered footage from July 2020 onward, two years after the controversial phone call.
Despite Raniere’s imprisonment, Elliot continues to defend him and credits NXIVM with helping him cure his Tourette’s.
Elliot previously filed a $12 million defamation lawsuit against Starz over their series Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult in October 2021 in California
Starz brought an anti-SLAPP [Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation] motion to strike the complaint and prevailed.
A judge dismissed Elliot’s lawsuit last November and ordered Elliot to pay a portion of Starz’s legal fees.

Please leave a comment: Your opinion is important to us!
Frank. He is a putz. He just doesn’t get it.
This makes me embarrassed for him.
Who sues HBO for $75,000 lmfao?
Actually, he is suing for more than $75,000. The way these complaints work is that you have to attest that you are suing for more than $75,000 to qualify for the court.
Get ready to open your wallet again Marc.
Wow, you really have questionable ethics. Vanguard’s nobleness must be unable to reach your spiritual centre from the jail cell he is permanently buried in. You support a paedophile Marc. That makes you an unethical person. Are you just locked into perpetual gratitude for something that you actually did yourself, in overcoming Tourette’s. Or are you stupid, a fraud, or having some kind of mental issue?
He’s a fraud Marc. He’s a sexual predator. He destroyed women’s lives. He convinced them to get branded with his initials. Wake the fuck up.
Marc is such a piece of shit. He told Isabella her Tourettes would get worse if she left NXIVM. Basically, a sort of threat.
I would NEVER pressure someone into a situation in which they did not feel safe. He pulled a page right out of the ESP playbook: go against your instincts.
Isabella was smart and perceptive enough to see this group was dangerous. When she followed her instinct to find distance and eventually leave, Asswipe Marc tried to scare her into staying.
FUCK YOU MARC!!!!!!
Frank Report Community, Marc does not an official nickname. Can we please settle on “Marc ‘Asswipe’ Elliot”? We have nicknames for all the other NXIVM dickheads. I think “Asswipe” works. At the same time, Suneel is “Asswiper”, so this may cause confusion.
Thought?
“Marc Idiot” ?
Thank you, but not degrading enough. Step it up.
Marc Suet Elliot?
Ehhhh, I do like. Thinking more along the lines of “Fuck Face” or “Dick Warmer”.
Dick warmer 😂
Twitch is out then?
Pyriel, you win!
“Twitch” it is!!
Marc asswipe one ply elliot
Suneel asswipe two ply guy
I feel like Marc’s face could be the asswiping device.
Excerpt from the Daily Mail article:
When Constantino was on the phone with Elliot, she was in New York, a state with a ‘one-party consent’ law for recording phone calls, meaning they may not have needed Elliot’s consent.
But the lawsuit focuses on whether HBO then had a right to use the footage in their series.

NXIVM News Update:
Leah Mottishaw, of Dossier Project evidently doesn’t like pizza!!!!
https://www.instagram.com/reel/CsMsCuLtsqG/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
On Vanguard’s diet – pizza is evil.
BWAHAHAHA!!! LEAH UNLEASHES HER INNER KAREN!!
Yes, Anjelica and Linda apparently have not adhered to Vanturd’s 500 calorie per day diet. I feel like Anjelica is naturally big-boned though. Kinda fits her. She makes it work.
The rest of the Dimwits are still starving themselves for Keith.
Reminds me of a Law and Order episode when a women fell for her kidnapper. He ran to avoid getting in trouble, but she fell in love with him. She kept herself up for 20 years waiting for him to return. When he returned, he rejected her. I could see the same thing occurring. Lets say, Keith does get released. No way he will accept any of them now. They are all middle-aged. Only one who would have a chance is Leah. She actually looks very young. Keith likes anorexic teens, not anorexic middle-aged women.
LONG LIVE DOS!!!!!
I dunno. Leah’s bottom heavy and androgynous looking. Not Keith’s type. They’re all too old now anyway.
True. Vantard likes them under age 18. Dimwits are all way over the hill for him.
Sahajo might have a chance with him. But again, he likes them in their mid-teens. She is anorexic but still looks too old.
“It’s magnificence, times infinity!!”
– Nicki Clyne
Agree!
Funny shit!
What about Mad Doc Daniela?
No way in hell! Vantard would ever hook up with Mad Doc, unless there was something in it for him.
Personally, I do think Mad Doc is very cute. But Vantard would never be with her. As he got older, he was getting more into younger girls.
Mad Doc was head over heels for Vantard. She still is. You can see it in her eyes. She considers him God. Its kinda sad to watch.
I think it is safe to say: Danielle Roberts IS the new “Squeaky Fromme”.
When the Glazer lawsuits heats up, we will see ALL the dirty little secrets. Danielle can option out of that lawsuits any time she want, simply by denouncing Vantard.
Will she stand by Vanturd and risk it all or will she smarten up like Nicki?
Lmao!!!!
All good points!!!!!
If you’ve ever experienced gall bladder attacks..pizza IS evil..
Marc is one pathetic human lol
LmAo
That Tourettes study was gruelling. (3 mins in.)

What did your political representatives know and when did they know it?
According to NBC News:
According to Open Secrets:
This is believed to be ShadowState1958
No, that is Raniere in a few years when he goes full “Ed Speck”!!
*Richard Speck
Is that Jar Jar Binks smiling from between his teats?
😐
P. S. How come he’s not wearing a bra?? Which… begs the question… what else is he NOT wearing?
LMaO!!!
Jar, Jar, Brinks……
Probably not, fellas.
ShadowState1958 is probably busy trying to save the world. He’s probably noticing how significant it is that the Hesbollah Chief Hassan Nasrallah just said something about something to a few people. Any of you gentlemen have the mind to share something as serious as that here? Give credit where credit is due. And who deserves credit for the mess the world is today? Those who care or those who don’t? Not many seem to care about the world as much as ShadowState1958 does. At a time such as this, we need more people like him in such a mixed-up world.
Size 20 shoe?
Not Keith. He has a 5 inch square foot.
To Scott Johnson,
A subtle reminder:
You’re a loser!
Marc-
Nobody is even going to give you 5k so you walk away…….
Marc get life! It’s a baseless lawsuit.
You have no damages!!!! You lose!
***
Your attorney is billing you by the ht. LMAO u dummy! You’re getting bilked or as Franks says ‘juked’.
**
He sued for $12 million and had to pay part of the legal fees of those he sued.
What’s he going to “win” this time Bob?
Marc Elliot gets nothing out of this except a few minutes of attention and a few articles on the Frank Report and about 44 comments there so far. What more does Marc want than to get noticed on the Frank Report? It is the only place where he is going to be noticed and commented on. Keep in mind that when Marc filed his $12 million lawsuit complaining about the way he was portrayed on Seduced, hardly anyone remembered him from the TV show. How can the reputation of someone who was almost not remembered or recognized by viewers be damaged?
Those who heard the whole conversation, which was long, said Marc came off even worse then what’s in the edited version they show in The Vow. He should be grateful.
He was vile in what could be heard. Hopefully this lawsuit will be thrown out.
Before I read this article, the headline reminds me of another unauthorized phone call made to “Kevin” from a particular inmate this document was made about.
Marc is such an asswipe.
He learned how to sue from the most litigious people in history:
1. Clare “Horseface” Bronfman
2. Keith “Vanturd” Raniere
3. Nancy “Defect” Salzman
4. Sara “Dipshit” Bronfman
Fuck Marc Elliot. What damages is he suing for? Because he tried to talk a woman out of her desire to leave a sex cult? He should be the one getting sued…
I salute you 🫡
Marc?
I meant you pilgrim!
Lol. Gotcha!
Privacy…
Something being taken away daily.
Yeah, but if you’re not wearing a bra, is that giving it away daily instead?
:-\
?
I guess, what is the actual damage? “Privacy” is the damage?
Marc Elliot does not need HBO to make himself look like an ass, because he is an ass.
