She was responsible for some truly heinous stuff, so I'm glad she owned up to it. Makes watching old Smallville eps tougher to watch, IMO.
Same happened to me with Firefly :/https://deadline.com/2019/04/allison-mack-pleads-guilty-sex-cult-smallville-actress-1202591266

Yeah, listened to a podcast about all this, the shit they did was just disgusting.
Yeah. Was my favorite character too.
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.Wasn't one of the other main characters from Smallville also linked to this? Lana? Am I misremembering, or did anything come from that?
Nah, Kreuk was in first but apparently Mack went all in as Kreuk left and things got darker.Some of you need to stop talking about your crushes as if that what this is was about. Throw her ass under the prison.

From my memory it was the other way around and Kristen bounced.
She just looks like a normal middle aged person under the sunlight here.Sweet baby jesus.....she used to glow nigh perpetually.
Sex, Drugs and Starving yourself are not the answer clearly.
I could do without some of the weird comments in this thread.
I get that she had a particular kind of role that she was often typecast as, but I honestly feel like that borders on diminishing the ridiculously horrific crimes that she now admits to committing alongside Keith Raniere.
I don't think people are consciously trying to diminish what has occurred, but this just comes off as massively creepy.
Young women were separated from their families, made into slaves and physically branded because of this person. I don't need to hear about how you had a crush on her back in the day.
We wouldn't expect to hear this kind of thing in reference to some guy who was a tv heartthrob back in the day imprisoning and assaulting people.
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.
It's alway the innocent looking ones who turn out to be the most dangerous.
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

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.Is there a transcript or a detailed account of what she/they did?

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.
I too remember that line from The Dark Knight.You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain
Same. That's a lot of knuckle children wasted.
You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain
Just pretend she was named after a different ChloeI 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.I knew someone who named their daughter Chloe after her because they loved Smallville. This must be real awkward for them now.
Cult leader found guilty on all counts.
The sentencing of NXIVM leader Keith Raniere is now firmly scheduled for June 23 — one way or another.
And one way may be a virtual court appearance due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Former NXIVM president Nancy Salzman, her daughter Lauren Salzman, Seagram's heiress Clare Bronfman, actress Allison Mack and NXIVM bookkeeper Kathy Russell, all still await sentencing. Each pleaded guilty before the trial. Lauren Salzman was a key witness for prosecutors.
Smallville actor Allison Mack has been sentenced to three years in prison for manipulating women into becoming sex slaves for the leader of the cult-like NXIVM group.
Mack had pleaded guilty to the charges that accused her of helping create a society of brainwashed women branded with leader Keith Raniere's initials.
"I made choices I will forever regret," she told a New York court, crying as she said she was filled with "remorse and guilt" over her actions.
In a letter to the court last week, she wrote: "I am sorry to those of you that I brought into NXIVM.
"I am sorry I ever exposed you to the nefarious and emotionally abusive schemes of a twisted man."
Mack would normally face between 14 and 17 years in jail but prosecutors agreed she should get less because of her cooperation.
The 38-year-old was in Raniere's inner circle and the group attracted millionaires and actors.
Prosecutors said Mack was a "master" for "slaves" who she told "to perform labour, take nude photographs, and in some cases, to engage in sex acts with Raniere".
The 60-year-old fled to Mexico with Mack and others, but they were both arrested in March 2018 and sent back to the US.
He was sentenced to 120 years in jail last year on sex trafficking charges.
Clare Bronfman, the half-British daughter of a Canadian billionaire, was also sentenced to nearly seven years in September for her role with the group.
There's a threadYou should probably just make a new thread for that. That more than satisfies the new news new thread threshold.
Fucking hellFor some reason I was looking up what happened to some BSG actors and found this story:
So... yeah, it's weird.
