Allison Mack's Marriage Was Likely at the Request of Keith Raniere

Dive deep into Allison Mack's Marriage Was Likely at the Request of Keith Raniere with our latest coverage.

Allison was first charged with sex trafficking, conspiracy to commit sex trafficking, and forced labor in April 2018. Her arrest brought more attention to her marriage with Nicki as well.

It's understood that they continued living in the same townhouse in Albany, N.Y., with Raniere, until October 2017, the month the group likely fled to Mexico. Raniere was arrested in March 2018.

Mack filed for divorce on Dec. 11, 2020, in Orange County, Calif., in what became known as a rare public sighting of a star who spent the majority of the past few years in court-approved home confinement. It's understood that the divorce is yet to be finalized.

Once described as "a mastermind and Raniere's useful idiot" by Frank Parlato, Mack is thought to have approached A-listers, feminist writers, and public figures with the hope of recruiting them.

Upon joining the organization, many were reportedly required to provide damaging materials, such as nude photographs, of their friends and family members. Some had to sign over their assets. At least some of the women who belonged to DOS (shorthand for Dominus Obsequious Sororium or "Master Over Slave Women") were branded with Mack's and Raniere's initials.
