Allison Mack appeared to hold back tears when leaving court

The reality of the situation and charges is finally sinking in for Allison. Plus, she's been out of Keith's spell for many months now.

She has good attorneys and they are explaining to her that her case is a lost cause and she's f#cked.

Better to take the plea now, than get hit with 15 + years. Remember, there are Sentencing Enhancements for number of victims and use of weapons.

So, she could get 25 years. And no parole in the Federal system.

Wakeup sister. Admit your mistakes and take the plea.

Or more bad acting. Her lawyers give her an onion to sniff in the bathroom? Sooner or later, our true selves always show up on our faces. People think botox can protect them from it, but it still just shows how fake they are. Direct sunlight is definitely not kind to her. She's starting to get a face for radio.

Who were the folks she passed by and appeared to touch on the shoulder? It looked like the woman was holding a sign perhaps.

Could this be a breakthrough? Real emotion and realisation? I don't know

Her BooBear didn't get bail, again. How upsetting it must be for her

Every time I see Alison Mack she does not look like the women who lived next to me for 4 years at all everyday she be shopping running I her house with loads of packages

You have to assume that her family and friends patrol this site but if I were them, I would put her on suicide watch. Her future and present are very bleak but if you do the crime, you should do the time. I also appologise to Heidi in advance but nobody should be taken to that dark because of one man.

As an aside, whenever I look at the name NXVIM all I see is roman numerals and depending on the perspective of how you look at the name determines its value.

Let us start at N which is the odd one out as N has no roman numeral and if you ain't part of the scheme' this is the odd one out from the rest. So how about the outsider/student? N is the 13th letter in the alphabet (unlucky you).

X = 10

I = 1

V=5

M = 1000 (and the Master)

So as the most important numbers in our lives is got to be by logic money, you as the student looking forward are unlucky number 13. You are reeled in, broken as the numbers reduce and then become a cash cow for M, also part of Master.

From the Masters view and whom is in the gang, you are a cash cow who he can break and sees you as unlucky to cross their path. Maybe KAR was trolling people from the very beginning with the name?

There ya go, Allie. Now, you’re getting it. That truly “authentic” despair and realization of the situation you’re unfortunately in. I feel for you and I suspect whomever was behind that camera got it, too, as do maybe hundreds of other viewers who are catching on past the masks and blindfolds.

Please consider getting into therapy if need be and getting real and taking control of your defense — you’ve got a real one. Pinochiette will surely go to prison, one way or another. The real Allison Mack may just go free. Her real story is a heartbreaker.

I wonder if she is finally experiencing “authenticity” ? Viva Executive Success!

Acting, acting, and more acting. I don’t think she knows who she is anymore.

I disagree when others say Allison appears to finally “get it”.

Her synapse's have all been retooled for far too long for her to be redeemed. She's a hardcore believer.

Why do I say this? First hand experience of being in a cult, decades ago and, decades later, those, like Allison, who gave all, burned all their bridges, even though the founding father died and his hand picked successor was deposed, those I knew are still fully invested, still swill and propagate the lies and still live the lifestyle.

Just like there are animals that have been so abused they are beyond ever being a companion animal aka pet the same with Allison.

She's forever lost to us and, yet, to Keith, she is his greatest triumph. I assure you Keith gloats in her destruction as proof of his prowess.

Sad ending for a woman who had yhe ability to lead a happy, fulfilling life till Keith, Lauren and Nancy got their hands on her.

I actually started to feel bad for her when I first saw this photo, then I remembered how many tears she shed as she forcibly held women down to be branded and tortured, telling them to “Think of the master.” Those were the tears that should have been shed, but no. Now she weeps? For what? That her actions have consequences? Please.If she actually felt remorse then those tears would be tears of joy knowing that no parent, like poor Catherine Oxenberg, will ever have to lose their child to a sex offender. Tears of joy that no one will be sued into oblivion for daring to speak out against NXIVM and the atrocities that they committed. Tears of joy that no toddler will ever have their language development hobbled by the cruel child linguistic experiments that they ran. Now she weeps? She still doesn't get it, and I doubt she ever will. It's ok, though. She'll have years in a cell to shed the tears she should have shed years ago.

Whew! And I thought I looked bad! SheesH! Ms. Mack: Get some sleep, if you can. Repent, if you will. Admit your guilt and try to make amends!! You will feel SO much better!!
