Allison Mack is splitting up with her wife, Nicki Clyne, according to reports.
The former Smallville actress and NXIVM member has filed for divorce from Nicki, best known as Cally Henderson Tyrol on Battlestar Galactica.
Allison and Nicki married in 2017, which reportedly was ordered by NXIVM cult leader Keith Raniere, according to People.
Now it seems that Allison and Nicki are done with their relationship as Allison filed the paperwork for divorce in Orange County on Friday (December 11). They have yet to comment on the separation.
Allison is currently waiting sentencing for her role in the NXIVM case, in which she was said to have recruited sex slaves for Keith and the cult’s subgroup, DOS.
DOS is described as an all-female secret society of “masters” and “slaves” in which women allegedly were forced to be sexually subservient to Keith.
Allison plead guilty in 2019 to racketeering and racketeering conspiracy charges. She’s also facing new charges that were filed in early 2020.
Keith was just sentenced in October to 120 years in prison.
India Oxenberg is opening up.
The 29-year-old daughter of Catherine Oxenberg spoke about the night she was branded back in January of 2016 in a new interview with People.
In the interview, she was told she was instructed to take off her clothes and walk into a room with a table.
“I had two women holding my hands and my feet so I wouldn’t convulse,” she explained.
She was held down and branded with the initials of Keith Raniere, the leader of Nxivm, described as a “sex cult.”
“I remember the smell — of flesh. I remember crying but not with pain. There was no choice to say no,” she went on to say of the initiation ceremony into the secret sorority, known as DOS.
She had been recruited by former Smallville actress Allison Mack, who would become India‘s “master.”
India and the other women were told the brand was a “symbol of the elements.”
“The circumstances pushed us to our limits, to the point where you would think you were making the choice to get branded,” she explained.
She is telling her side of the story in docuseries Seduced: Inside the Nxivm Cult, which begins airing on Starz on October 18.
“One of my first commands was to seduce Keith. I was told it was an assignment to make me feel less vulnerable,” she said.
“People ask how could this happen but it doesn’t happen right away. It’s a slow drip of indoctrination and grooming,” she continued.
Her Dynasty actress mother came forward in 2017 and went public with her fight to save her daughter.
“I was scared to death but it didn’t matter if I was scared. I knew what I was up against. I knew nobody had dared to do what I was doing because this cult had financially ruined them. I had to save my daughter,” she explained.
“I can’t describe in words how grateful I am for that. Because the truth is, I didn’t see a future for myself when I was there. I was really kind of committed to being there forever, indefinitely,” India said. For more, head to People.com.
Allison Mack was accused of targeting sororities and coercing recruits in a new NXIVM lawsuit.
Allison Mack has been accused of targeting sororities and coercing recruits in a new NXIVM lawsuit.
The 37-year-old former Smallville actress has been named as a defendant – along with founder Keith Raniere and other members – in the latest lawsuit.
The lawsuit charges the company with being a Ponzi scheme, illegally experimenting on humans and exploiting female recruits.
According to the lawsuit (via ET), Allison, Keith, and 13 others “exerted power over the plaintiffs; took their money; made it financially, physically and psychologically difficult, and in some cases impossible, to leave the coercive community; and systematically abused plaintiffs physically and emotionally.”
Keith Raniere‘s lawyer Marc Agnifilo said in a statement, “The recently filed civil suit shows that several of the plaintiffs who appeared as witnesses at the criminal trial were less than candid when they testified under oath they were not going to sue raniere. Clearly, these people were motivated by money, a motivation the jury should have known. This will be one of several issues we will raise in court,”
