Battlestar Galactica Star Is Member Of NXIVM Cult – Which BRANDS Their Members

I wrote about this cult a while back when actress Catherine Oxenberg spoke out about how she was trying to save her daughter from its grip… and was totally FREAKED OUT.

They’re like Scientology on steroids. Basically it starts off as a “self-help” kind of thing… and ends in women getting branded and blackmailed with pornographic pictures.

Aaaahhh cults… so creepy, and so predictable.

I’m not in to Sci-Fi, so I don’t know who this chick is. But if you’re a Battlestar Galactica fan… just know that under this chick’s space outfit is a CULT BRAND.

According to this:

A second Hollywood actress has been identified as an alleged member of a sinister sex cult.

Battlestar Galactica star Nicki Clyne is said to belong to the DOS cult – a sinister organisation that brands its members with the initials of their leader, Keith Raniere.

DOS is said to be a secret society for the highest ranking female members within the self-help group NXIVM.

Clyne’s alleged membership of the organization was reported by Sun Online, which also claimed to have seen a stash of pornographic images that are used to blackmail followers tempted to leave.

Clyne is believed to have been one of those who handed over pornographic material in a bid to prove her loyalty.

Here’s what the branding looks like… hope you didn’t just have lunch.

UUUUGGHGHGHGHHHHHGGGGHHHHH.

While the cult looks entirely like a self-help group to outsiders, former members have recently spoken out about the horrific things that happen once you reach the upper tiers of membership:

To outsiders, NXIVM is just a run-of-the-mill self-improvement group, offering classes that teach the answers to living a successful and fulfilling life.

But ex-members told the Times that NXIVM functions as a cult for people at the high levels of the group, who have dedicated themselves full-time to founder Keith Rainere and his teachings.

Last week, a former spokesman for the group, Frank Parlato, told The Sun that an ‘Emmy Award-winning actress’ is a ‘key recruiter’ for DOS.

While The Sun did not name the actress, DailyMail.com revealed she was Allison Mack, who played Clark Kent’s sidekick Chloe Sullivan on the long-running CW series Smallville.

Parlato goes into further detail about Mack’s role in the group on his blog, The Frank Report, which has been publishing information on the group’s inner-workings.

(Parlato says he was fired after one year when Raniere caught him investigating the company’s financial records. He has been locked in a legal battle with both Raniere and two Bronfman heiresses who are members of the group, the later of whom claim he defrauded them).

The Frank Report claimed that Mack created DOS with the intention of turning it into a worldwide organization that would be a ‘force for good and a female force against evil’.

YIIIIIIKES. This sounds ultra creeptastic, if you ask me.

She wants it to sound like some empowering chick club. Yeah… it’s not.

Ex-members have detailed how only the most loyal NXIVM female members are offered the ability to try out for DOS.

In order to join, prospective new members must allegedly turn over damning personal information as a show of trust.

But ex-members say that information is actually used to keep members from speaking out about the horrifying reality of the group.
DOS operates as a master-slave hierarchy, with Raniere at the top and Mack as his immediate subordinate.

From there, Mack has several slaves of her own who are then ordered to recruit a group of slaves themselves, and it spreads down from there like a pyramid scheme.

Women in the group are allegedly kept on a 500- to 800-calorie a day diet because Raniere likes thin women and believes fat ‘interferes’ with his energy levels, Parlato claims.

Yup. ‘Force for good and a female force against evil’ if by evil you mean healthy BMIs and normal lives? Aaaaand it gets creepier:

Slaves must immediately answer their masters any time they text or call them, and if they do not recruit enough slaves of their own, they are beaten with a paddle on their buttocks.

The Frank Report alleges that it was Mack who introduced corporeal punishment to the group.

When women are deemed worthy to enter the group, they are ordered to strip at an initiation ceremony and then branded with a symbol that includes both Raniere and Mack’s initials.

The blog also says that there’s yet another tier of the cult above DOS. Women who perform well in DOS may also be invited to join Raniere’s harem.

Mack ‘has assumed the top position in the harem,’ the Report says.

NO NO NO NO NO NOPE NO.

What in the actual hell? This is horrifying.
