Kristin Kreuk should speak out: Not to help EXPians but herself
By Frank Parlato;
Kristin Kreuk remains silent.
She let NXIVM use her name and image to bring in scores of people. I know, I was there. She was star #1.
Maybe they have collateral on her. Maybe she slept with Keith Raniere who, as everyone involved in NXIVM knows, really prefers to be called by his self-given title “The Vanguard”. . Even back then, Keith had nude pictures taken of women after they had sex with him.
Kristin might be terrified of this. I don’t know. I never confirmed she had sex with Raniere. She was certainly enamored of the courses.
Because they used her fame to lure young people – she should speak out. Not because EXPians need her help. She needs to do it for her own sake.
************************************************************************************
NXIVM will be written about. Studied. Examined. Dramatized. Books will be written. Movies made.
When this explodes – and it will – she will, unavoidably, go down as part of NXIVM history. After it explodes – and arrests are made – nobody will care what Kristin has to say. After the indictments come down, her role in NXIVM will be written in stone. The criminal trial will bring out morbid and lurid details. The notoriety will not disappear for decades. They might laugh when she takes a role as a brave woman. Perhaps she will become a joke. Her career, toast. When she had the chance; when it still counted – she kept hidden. Let others do the fighting.
Raniere is telling everyone that a few suppressives – Sarah Edmondson, Catherine Oxenberg, Mark Vicente, Bonnie Piesse, Toni Zarratini, Susan Dones, Barbara Bouchey, Toni Natalie, less than a dozen – out of 16,000 students – are ruining the mission.
Her voice now will resonate. It will penetrate the NXIVM world to the very bone. It will hit Mexico like an avalanche. It will comport with Kristin Kreuk’s acting persona of “I am a fighter.”
If she waits until after he is arrested – it will look like she’s a wimp.
I have more respect for Allison Mack or Nicki Clyne than for Keith Raniere or Kristin Kreuk.
Raniere has fled from his longtime home, coward that he is. Allison and Nicki at least are willing to stand for what they believe; wrong though they may be, they are willing to sacrifice their names, fame, wealth and, most likely, their freedom for years to come.
Kreuk and Raniere are hiding. And Kreuk was the first celebrity of NXIVM; used to build NXIVM. She was used to abuse women.
She can stay quiet. Let her hide. The battle is nearing the end. There are heroes enough already. Toni Natalie, Catherine Oxenberg. How about Susan Dones who took on a phalanx of NXIVM lawyers and handed them their asses. Mark Vicente, Joe O’Hara.
Kristin Kreuk plays heroes on TV. She would vomit blood and die if she had to fight in real life like Toni Natalie did.
However, it’s not too late for her to fight a little. In a month or less, it may be too late.
Kristin, you owe the public a statement; you are part of the story. Speak the truth without fear that it will anger Raniere. Truth is always truth. Speak boldly. Speak your convictions even if you support NXIVM. Don’t hesitate to speak the truth out of fear of losing your fans or being drawn into a fight.
Be a hero Kristin Kreuk. Your silence will be gravely construed against you in the long run.
'She let NXIVM use her name and image to bring in scores of people. I know, I was there. She was star #1.'
NXIVM brought in scores of people by various means, at least according to their own figures. Where is the evidence for the causal link that Kristin brought in “scores of people” due to her association? I am aware that Kristin recruited three people. Only Allison Mack remains in NXIVM. Rick Ross has stated that cults hide behind organizational fronts of legitimate businesses. Implying or implicitly conflating that she brought in scores of people into NXIVM to take self-improvement courses with the notion that she brought in scores of women into a “sex cult” is simply bad journalism. Many people take one or two of these type of courses and never return.
'Maybe she slept with Keith Raniere'
Kristin never slept with him. I know. How I know is irrelevant. Also, you have another source stating that Kristin was never a member of Keith's harem in your article posted several months ago here: https://frankreport.com/2016/02/08/source-kreuk-never-in-keiths-harem-other-celebrities-are-in-nxivm/. So I don't see how speculation into this aspect of her life is relevant anymore. It only serves to sully her character.
'When this explodes – and it will – she will, unavoidably, go down as part of NXIVM history…'
She is already part of NXIVM history. The key word is “history”. She's been gone from it for several years now – at least since 2012 – and has moved on with her life. She has no relevance to DOS. She was never part of the inner core. And she had no knowledge of any of the financial misbehaving and other illegal criminal activities of Raniere and company. Guilt by association is an ad hominem logical fallacy.
'I have more respect for Allison Mack or Nicki Clyne than for Keith Raniere or Kristin Kreuk.'
Well this is just stupid and shows your bias. You have more respect for a woman (Allison) who is second in command to Raniere in DOS and who even you have speculated married the other (Nicki) to keep from being deported? Sara Edmondson had been in the cult longer, was in it before her and remained well in it after Kristin left – she even called Lauren Salzman best friend who was also a bridesmaid at her wedding – and even she didn't know about the branding, yet here you are attacking someone who left several years ago like she's part and parcel to these secretive machinations when at most her involvement was simply at the level of believing that the group was for the advancement of ethics and self-improvement.
“Kreuk and Raniere are hiding.”
More idiotic conflation between two unequal characters in this saga that serves no purpose except to sully the former. Kreuk has been living in Toronto for five years now. She worked on “Beauty and the Beast” for four years and just recently finished filming a ten episode series called “Burden of Truth” which she also executive produced.
” And Kreuk was the first celebrity of NXIVM; used to build NXIVM.”
This is not true. Mark Vicente, Mark Hildreth and Sarah Edmondson were all in it prior to her. All of them were (minor) celebrities in the entertainment industry. I believe Linda Evans was also associated to it before her. She could be considered the “biggest current star” they had taking and coaching courses when she was in it, but Tom Cruise to Scientology she is and never was.
“She was used to abuse women.”
More ludicrous guilt by association.
This article was little more than nonsense and essentially an ad hominem against someone who hasn't been relevant to NXIVM for several years and certainly has no relevance to its most recent events. It serves only to sully the content of this site. It also smells of an attempt to use a person's celebrity for their own purposes. Ironically, something like the author claims NXIVM did to her.
