In the final episode of Starz’s documentary “Seduced: Inside the Nxivm Cult,” there’s a discussion about how cult founder Keith Raniere — sentenced this week to 120 years in prison — specifically preyed on smart, intelligent women of influence. Cecilia Peck, director and showrunner of “Seduced,” might have been one of those women. “I had a personal experience with Nxivm,” Peck told IndieWire. “Someone who I had worked with on a previous project actually targeted me for recruitment. [She] emailed me over the course of about a year and a half about an incredible women’s group that she was a part of; she told me it would change my life and, eventually, she wanted me to meet Allison Mack.”
Mack, the former “Smallville” actress, was one of Raniere’s most devout acolytes, and the women’s group was Dos, a subsidiary of Nxivm revealed in 2017 to be branding and trafficking women as sex slaves.

An internal conflict. In this clip from the season premiere of E! True Hollywood Story, Catherine Oxenberg shares the struggle she faced when choosing to walk away from Nxivm. After a nearly two-year involvement with Keith Raniere's purported self-help program, the Dynasty actress reveals she was ready to walk away. "I didn't want to give up my life for these people," Oxenberg notes in regards to the since fallen cult. "I wasn't interested in being part of their community." Sadly, her daughter India Oxenberg didn't feel the same way. As India took more Nxivm courses, Catherine says she became "concerned about the amount of money that...

India Oxenberg was an active Nxivm member for six years before her mother heard anything about foul play within the organization. "April 16, 2017, a defector called me up and said, 'You need to save India.' And I didn't know what she was talking about," recalls Catherine Oxenberg—who details her family's experience with the purported self-help group during True Hollywood Story's upcoming Oct. 6 premiere—in this clip from Tuesday's E! News. Speaking about the insidious toll Nxivm's influence took on her daughter's life and personality, she tells E! News correspondent Nina Parker and chief correspondent Melanie...

Months after her daughter India Oxenberg's introduction to the organization, Catherine traveled to Nxivm headquarters alongside then-husband Casper Van Dien to attend a "training." In this clip from the upcoming season premiere of E!'s True Hollywood Story, the Dynasty actor recalls seeing Raniere for the first...

A mother's worst nightmare. In this clip from the season premiere of E! True Hollywood Story, Catherine Oxenberg details her daughter India Oxenberg's involvement in Keith Raniere's fallen Nxivm cult. "I found out that India's involved in this secret inner group within Nxivm. And it's just women," the 58-year-old actress reflects. "And it's based on this slave-master hierarchy. And they sign a lifetime vow of obedience. And they're on these starvation diets. Like, 500 to 800 calories a day." As was previously reported, the Nxivm co-founder was found guilty of sex trafficking, attempted sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy,...

When Toni Natalie spoke to Rolling Stone on the morning of jury deliberations for the Keith Raniere trial, she predicted the jury would reach a guilty verdict by, “3, 3:30.”
The former girlfriend of Raniere, the leader of the spiritual organization Nxivm, was only about an hour off. After six weeks of grueling testimony, during which witnesses gave grueling testimony about being held down and branded, beaten with paddles, and coerced into having sex with the defendant, Raniere has been found guilty of all seven of the criminal charges against him.

Since his arrest last year in Mexico on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, tabloids have referred to Keith Raniere, the head of the self-help organization Nxivm, as the leader of an all-female “sex cult” called Dos. The 58-year-old spiritual leader known as the “smartest man alive” was worshipped by followers, with some former Nxivm members testifying they believed he could control the weather and that swallowing his semen could help them see “a blue light.”
