“Smallville” actress Allison Mack arrested for role in NXIVM sex cult
....Court filings say that in 2015, Raniere, who also went by “Vanguard,” created a secret sub-organization with NXIVM called “DOS,” an acronym for a Latin phrase that loosely translates to “Lord/Master of the Obedient Female Companions,” or “The Vow.” The filings allege that DOS had levels of women “slaves” headed by “masters” in a pyramid scheme, with Raniere at the top and Mack immediately below Raniere.
Mack and other DOS masters allegedly recruited DOS slaves by telling them they were joining an empowering women-only organization that would help them overcome their weaknesses. The women allegedly hid that Raniere, the only man in the organization, was at the top of the pyramid.
The filings also say that slaves in DOS were branded in the pelvic region with Raniere’s initials. The women were allegedly naked and required to be appear on film while they were branded.
An earlier criminal complaint alleges that women were expected to have sex with Raniere and do menial chores for masters.
In March, Raniere was arrested outside Puerto Vallarta by Mexican federal police. In a video obtained by Inside Edition, a woman believed to be Mack can be seen and heard as Raniere is taken away.
Former NXIVM publicist Frank Parlato told Inside Edition that Mack is “completely enamored with Raniere and completely under his thrall.” He also said that Mack and her “Smallville” co-star, Kristin Kreuk, were used as “poster girls for normalizing the group.” Kreuk says she left NXIVM years ago and commended the women who exposed DOS.
‘Vanguard’ is a heavy title to bestow upon oneself... Very Koreshi.
