Inside the NXIVM Cult Nightmare - Allison Mack & Keith Raniere

NXIVM has spawned multiple documentaries and specials that recount the multitude of horrors that enigmatic leader Keith Raniere and former Smallville actress Allison Mack had perpetrated against its members. This week, Amy and Chris dive even deeper into this cult disguised as a self-improvement group. You'll hear exclusive recorded sessions, including the inception of the now infamous DOS group, and many other details of what went on behind closed doors. NXIVM lured hundreds of people with broad promises of improving their finances, intellect and other aspects of personal development. Whether or not it began with good intentions, it ultimately turned into sex slavery, encouraging eating disorders, branding people's skin, and much more. Allison Mack ran a subset of NXIVM where she lorded over many impressionable women to create a personal harem for their leader, who they referred to as Vanguard. Listen to the timeline of the various crimes committed by Keith and those around him, and how he was ultimately taken down. Send your true crime suggestions to hello@truecrimerecaps!
