Allison Mack, the former Smallville star whose involvement in a sex-trafficking case linked to the NXIVM cult came to light, is preparing to share her perspective publicly for the first time. Having pleaded guilty in connection to the case, Mack is ready to break her silence.

Now 43 and recently married, Mack will launch a CBC podcast titled “Uncover: Allison After NXIVM” on November 4. This podcast signifies her initial attempt to discuss her personal journey and her entanglement with the notorious group.

In a surprising turn of events, Mack was released from prison in July 2023, a year earlier than initially anticipated. She had begun her three-year sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California, in September 2021, but federal prison records confirmed her release on July 3, 2023.

Through her upcoming podcast, Mack intends to delve into her experiences before, during, and after her association with the cult. The series will also feature interviews with individuals who were part of her life during these turbulent years, offering a broader view of her story.

Now in her podcast, she will be exploring her life before and after her time in the cult as it will also feature interviews with people who knew her during that span.

The press release for the podcast also promises that she will dive ‘deep into the gray zones of influence, accountability and redemption.’

Disgraced Smallville actor Allison Mack, who pled guilty over her role in a sex-trafficking case tied to the cult group NXIVM, will finally tell her side of the story; she is pictured in Brooklyn in May 2018

Best known for her role as a young Superman’s close friend on Smallville, Mack pleaded guilty in 2019 to charges that she manipulated women into becoming sex slaves for NXIVM leader Keith Raniere.

Mack spent less than two years at FCI Dublin, a low-security women’s prison perhaps most famous for holding actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman for their roles in a college admissions scandal.

She avoided a longer prison term by cooperating with federal authorities in their case against Raniere, who was sentenced to 120 years in prison after being convicted on sex-trafficking charges.

Mack helped prosecutors mount evidence showing how Raniere created a secret society that included brainwashed women who were branded with his initials and forced to have sex with him.

In addition to Mack, members of the group included an heiress to the Seagram´s liquor fortune, Clare Bronfman, and a daughter of TV star Catherine Oxenberg of ‘Dynasty’.

Mack went on to attack the cult leader Raniere and expressed ‘remorse and guilt’ before her sentencing in federal court in Brooklyn, New York. 

She started acting and modeling at the age of four but landed her first acting gig on a TV show when she was 15 and in 2001 went on to play Chloe Sullivan, the best friend of a young Clark Kent, in Smallville.

The series ran from 2001 to 2011 and earned Mack two Teen Choice Awards and multiple TV award nominations. It was while Smallville was filming that Mack first attended a NXIVM meeting back in 2007. 

The 43-year-old actress – who recently got married – is set to release a CBC podcast on November 4 titled Uncover: Allison After NXIVM as it will mark the first time she has ever opened up about herself and the experience in being involved in he sex-trafficking organization; she is seen in New York back in February 2019

Back in July 2023, Mack was released from prison a year early 

Mack, who began serving a three-year sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California , in September 2021, was released on Monday, July 3, 2023 according to federal prison records (she is seen April 2018) 

Mack (pictured 2001), who starred in the hit Superman origin series, was among the NXIVM leadership accused of running a sex trafficking ring 

She eventually moved to New York City when Smallville finished airing in 2011. Mack regularly attended NXIVM seminars and would often travel to Albany where Raniere lived.

In 2012, she chose to move to Albany to be closer to NXIVM and Raniere instead of pursuing an application to Yale Drama School.

Raniere had started NXIVM in the 1990s in Albany as a purported self-improvement group that then expanded across the country.

It first became known for its ‘Executive Success Program’ courses, which purported to give students the ability to achieve their goals in life by overcoming mental blocks.

Raniere started a secret branch, known as the DOS, in about 2015 that was just for women. 

Prosecutors say the secret society was comprised of brainwashed female ‘slaves’ who were blackmailed into having sex with him, following dangerously restrictive diets and being branded with his initials.

Mack became a master, as well as Raniere’s slave, around 2016.

In her role in the cult, Mack admitted that at Raniere’s direction, she obtained compromising information and images of two unidentified women – called ‘collateral’ within the group – that she threatened to make public if they didn’t perform ‘so-called acts of love.’

Raniere (pictured) was ultimately sentenced to 120 years in prison after being convicted on sex-trafficking charges

Raniere was arrested at a luxury villa in Mexico and sent back to the US in March 2018. He was sentenced last year to 120 years in prison for his conviction on sex-trafficking charges

Mack, who joined NXIVM in 2006, was once part of Raniere’s inner circle. They are pictured together during a filmed interview for the group on his YouTube page

Prosecutors also said Mack ordered victims ‘to perform labor, take nude photographs, and in some cases, to engage in sex acts with Raniere’.  

As an investigation into NXIVM was underway in 2017, Raniere and Mack were among those who fled to Mexico to try to reconstitute the group there.

He was arrested at a luxury villa in Puerto Vallarta and sent back to the US in March 2018.

Mack was arrested a few days later in New York and charged with racketeering conspiracy, forced labor conspiracy, wire fraud conspiracy, sex trafficking conspiracy, sex trafficking and attempted sex trafficking.

After being released on bond, Mack was ordered to cut all communication with NXIVM members including her wife and fellow NXIVM member Nicki Clyne. The pair married in 2017 but Mack filed for divorce in December 2022 

After being released on bond, Mack was ordered to cut all communication with NXIVM members including her wife and fellow NXIVM member Nicki Clyne.

The pair married in 2017 but Mack filed for divorce in December 2022.

It was previously reported that the pair wed at the behest of Raniere in an effort to allow Clyne, who is Canadian, to remain in the US.

Clyne was not charged in relation to the NXIVM case.

Meanwhile, Mack’s life has changed drastically in recent months as she married a man named Frank in an intimate ceremony in Los Angeles back in June according to TMZ.

The publication’s family sources claim that the two had met at a dog park after she served her prison sentenced and were engaged around Christmas of last year.
