Allison Mack's wife Nicki Clyne wouldn't change experiences in 'sex cult' Nxivm
Battlestar Galactica actress Nicki Clyne, who is married to former Smallville star Allison, said she wouldn't trade the experiences she had within Nxivm for anything as she defended it
Allison Mack 's wife Nicki Clyne has come to the defence of 'sex cult' Nxivm.
The Battlestar Galactica actress and Nxivm devotee says she wouldn't trade the experiences she had there "for anything", sending a strong message about just how much she enjoyed it.
Nicki, who is married to ex-Smallville star Allison, spoke out in a TV interview alongside four other Nxivm members.
She told CBS' This Morning : "It’s very unfortunate the way that the word Nxivm has been applied and is now synonymous with the term sexual cult, which I don’t even know how to define what that is."
Nicki's TV appearance with the other supporters come after they brought a petition to federal prosecutors in Brooklyn, demanding that they answer questions about alleged prosecutorial misconduct against Nxivm co-founder and convicted sex trafficker Keith Raniere.
Last year, Raniere was convicted on a slew of charges for starting a master-slave group called DOS within Nxivm.
Prosecutors said women were forced to seduce him, go on strict diets and have his initials branded onto their skin.
He is being held at a Brooklyn detention centre until his sentencing on October 27.
Nicki, who is alleged to have quit her job on Battlestar to follow Raniere, said she was part of the DOS group as she defended it.
Nicki, who has not been charged with a crime, said: "We’re not denying that certain things took place.
"There’s evidence that certain things happened. How they happened, why they happened and why certain people chose them — that’s a whole other conversation."
The Canadian actress appears in footage in HBO documentary The Vow, which is all about the purported self-help group.
Her wife Mack, alleged to have been Raniere's right-hand woman in DOS, has pleaded guilty to racketeering and conspiracy charges, including extortion and forced labour.
She admits to instructing women in the group "to perform services for me".
Mack also said the system was "designed to make them think they could suffer serious harm" if they didn't perform the tasks asked of them, because they'd handed over damaging collateral such as nude photos which could be used against them.
Despite the serious charges against the group, Nicki said she wouldn't hesitate to continue to be part of it.
