Right now, our friends at Ronald McDonald House Los Angeles really need our help. For 40 years, Ronald McDonald House Los Angeles has provided free housing, meals and support for families from around the world when their kids are getting life-saving treatment at our local children’s hospitals. With the financial uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, donations are down and the charity is in need of support.

The Omaze press release indicates [and thanks to a reader who pointed this out] that you must enter by May 27.
The lucky winner will be announced on June 10. It appears that there will be only one winner who can invite a guest.
One doesn’t need to donate to enter the chance to win the opportunity to have the virtual chat.
GeekTyrant adds a little more commentary: “I would love to see these three get together to offer commentary on each of their favorite episodes of the series at some point. That’s something I know the fans would be interested in seeing.
“I wonder if someone will ask them about their co-star Allison Mack, whose life went in a crazy and very different direction than anyone expected.”
I think, if it were open to questions, it’s quite likely someone will ask the stars about Mack unless, of course, all questions about her and Nxivm are barred, which is quite possible.
Mack is currently subject to home detention, replete with an ankle monitor, as she awaits a sentencing date for her twin felony convictions: racketeering and racketeering conspiracy. She avoided the bigger sex trafficking charges through a plea deal – and her sentencing guideline appears to be in the 3-5 year range, though the judge is free to sentence her to more or less prison time. The maximum sentence he can impose is 40 years, a highly unlikely outcome.
Her co-star in the show, Kristin Kreuk, is the one who recruited Mack into the deadly cult. Kreuk escaped, leaving by degrees, starting in 2013, before the cult started blackmailing and branding women as slaves.
It appears Kreuk finally left for good in 2016 – and her career as an actress remains largely unblemished by her eight years or so in the crazed cult.
Kreuk has come under some criticism for her failure to speak out against Nxivm or to offer any help to Mack.
I predict that this virtual chat will be tightly managed to avoid any questions about Nxivm, Kreuk’s role in it, and anything controversial about Mack.
On the other hand, it’s possible that Kreuk might take a moment to offer words of commiseration or even sympathy for her fallen colleague.
Kreuk might one day bravely come forward to offer help to the victims of Nxivm, some of whom were recruited indirectly because of her. Kreuk’s name and likeness were frequently used to normalize and recruit into Nxivm.
Recruiters always bragged that Kreuk [and Mack] were coaches in Nxivm – and they used that information to try to disprove the negative stories about Nxivm being a cult, their argument being “would Krisitn Kreuk, a big star, take the courses if it were a cult?”
Heretofore, Kreuk has only made one Tweet, a fairly misleading one, wherein she said she merely took a few classes, failing to disclose that she was a Nxivm coach [which meant she took a lot of classes], failing to mention that she was the virtual poster girl for Nxivm recruitment, and giving what might be a misleading date about when she actually left Nxivm.
Her tweet, released just three days after her cult leader Keith Raniere was arrested:

My prediction is that there will not be a single mention of Nxivm and quite possibly not even a mention of Allison Mack at the virtual get together.

What Frank says about Kreuk is true. Frank does not say here what he has freely admitted in the FR before–that he worked for NXIVM mostly in PR–though never a cult member. He and Kreuk got involved with Nx about the same time. Frank was an experienced professional even then but did not suspect anything evil or nefarious about Nx—so how could a 23 year old (naive?) TV actress do better?
Frank left about a year later. Kreuk stayed in for many years while more nefarious things were exposed about Nx and Raniere so she had to know this, right? But over those years she also was frog-boiled by flying monkeys, by see-no-evil groupthink, and by other forms of mindfucking, so maybe not.
It seems most likely the Kreuk joined Nx thinking it was a legit self-help group, then like thousands of others (and even hundreds of coaches) was groomed for years to never view the truth about Nx with a clear mind.
