Smallville’s Allison Mack pleads guilty sex cult case
- Thread starter StrykerIsland
- Start date
It shouldn't. She wasn't the same person back then. Falling into a cult warps a person.
Is there a transcript or a detailed account of what she/they did?
Yeah, very disappointing when characters you like turn out to be douchebags in real life. Guess I'll have to burn that copy of Gargantua!
Great....now I have to go watch The Wire again....Ive got shit to do Rvaan, dont remind me about The Wire at such an inopportune time!
Sweet baby jesus.....she used to glow nigh perpetually.
Sex, Drugs and Starving yourself are not the answer clearly.
Her eyes are so sunken in now its almost like she hasnt slept in months.
On Topic
Its says she faces up to a maximum of 20 years for each charge.
So does that mean she could get 40 years tops....or is the 20 actually for both charges....my comprehension when it comes to these legal proceedings is alittle rubbish.
I remember hearing about the cult Kreuk and Mack were a part of back in the late 2000s but kind of brushed it off. Kind of wish I would've looked more into it back then, I think I saw being called a "feminism cult" or some nonsense and mostly brushed it off.
Same way people get sucked in Scientology if you want a more "mainstream" example or you could look at any number of religions and especially certain splinter groups that disguise themselves as being on the surface some form of "self help" or spiritual guidance. The more vulnerable someone is the easier they become to manipulate and brain wash.
EDIT:
The 60s and 70s had a lot of this shit, much of which came out of the hippie movement, most known and nefarious being the Manson Family. There were also LSD and other drug cults like The League for Spiritual Discovery (LSD, get it?!) and The Brotherhood of Eternal Love. Speaking of which Timothy Leary who was basically the "spiritual leader" of those groups was Winona Ryder's godfather.
Kreuk joined first but got out apparently before shit started to turn. Other women/victims in this have said that Kreuk wasn't involved by then.
Nah, Kreuk was in first but apparently Mack went all in as Kreuk left and things got darker.

I never heard about this case until last summer I went to New York on holiday, and cycled to Brooklyn. When we exited brooklyn bridge we ended up at the courthouse, where we had to slam our brakes because a horde of cameramen and journalist where following someone to a car.
It was Allison Macky on one of her court dates. We actually stuck around listening to one of the journalists stand-up in front of the court to figure out what was going on :P You could actually see my wife and me biking on some of the news footage that evening.

She just looks like a normal middle aged person under the sunlight here.
It's how the group portrayed itself to the outside world in order to try to rope in more women. Here's Allison trying to get Emma Watson to join
Yeeesh...
I would have said that it was bordering on pedophilia but Watson was 25/26 at the time of that tweet. Can't see her as anything else than a kid...
Yeah, I know, I just didn't look into it and see there was this guy or any guy at the head of it, I viewed it as some stupid Tony Robbins or AmWay bullshit as it was on the surface. Apparently that's what a lot of people thought they were getting. I remember seeing that Tweet when this broke last year, it's still fucking creepy.
EDIT: Oh and there's a follow up Tweet and a reply.
CBC in Canada did a podcast called escaping nxivm, the presenter was a childhood friend with one of the women who were in the cult for years at a high level so it's a lot of first hand stuff. If you're interested you should check it out.
Clare Bronfman has now pleaded guilty - https://m.independent.ie/world-news...s-guilty-in-cult-sex-slave-case-38033976.html
Were these supposed to be DMs.
Why would you be recruiting out in the open like that when atleast some people already know this is some cult shit.
She may have thought being that up front was a recruiting method which was less cult-like so when she's in for a while than the cult shit can be applied. Whatever creepy shit they're doing works as they've roped in a few celebrity actresses (and a billionaire heiress) and their cult isn't as well known as Scientology.
"As a fellow actress..." sounds look a hook to lure recruits in.
Thankfully Emma stayed away.
From the articles I've read the cult is like Scientology, there's layers to this shit. The deeper you go the worse it gets.
Damn.
Ill always be super fascinated by cults.
How they start, how they grow, how they stay going for however long they last.
Such a trippy thing.
These guys got a billionaires daughter in on it.....they must have fleeced her for millions.
She's another saga unto herself, and found guilty recently.

Cult leader found guilty on all counts.
The defense argued Raniere was a genuine believer in unconventional means for self-improvement and that all his sexual encounters with female followers of his organization, called NXIVM, were consensual.
I know it's their job as defense counsel, but holy fuck at that justification

User Banned (5 Days): Inappropriate Commentary; Boys Club Rhetoric in a Sensitive Thread
Same. That's a lot of knuckle children wasted.
This is pretty damn inappropriate in general, let alone with the subject matter involved here.
For some reason I was looking up what happened to some BSG actors and found this story:
So... yeah, it's weird.
So... yeah, it's weird.
I knew someone who named their daughter Chloe after her because they loved Smallville. This must be real awkward for them now.
Naming your daughter after a Smallville character is somehow more cringe than the actress turning out to be in a sex cult.
Very good. After listening to about four episodes of CBC's Uncover these past two days about this company and cult, I hope the dude doesn't live long enough to see freedom again. That dude is a vengeful, creepy, misogynistic piece of garbage.
The one I'm familiar with is Nicki Clyne, AKA Cally from Battlestar Galactica. When I heard she was involved... :|

You should probably just make a new thread for that. That more than satisfies the new news new thread threshold.
