!! OMG, Former Smallville actress turned cult co-leader Allison Mack has been released from prison !!

Speaking of Superman: Lightspeed or not, Clark Kent could never have seen this one coming. Jeepers.

Allison Mack, the former Smallville star accused of recruiting young women as “slaves” for a secret society within NXIVM, was released from federal prison earlier this week after serving two years of a three-year sentence.

Mack was released on Monday, July 3, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons website. While Mack had faced up to 17 years in prison, her decision to plead guilty to racketeering charges and provide prosecutors with evidence about NXIVM leader Keith Raniere led to the shortened sentence.

Mack was arrested in Brooklyn in 2018 and initially faced charges of sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy, and forced labor conspiracy. As second-in-command at NXIVM — a self-improvement group and multi-level marketing organization widely described as a “sex cult” — she allegedly served as a “master” in DOS, a secret subset of NXIVM, recruiting others for what was pitched as a “women’s empowerment group.”

Prosecutors alleged, however, that members of DOS (called “slaves”) were required to be branded with Mack’s and Raniere’s initials and have sex with Raniere to prove their fealty to the group. In exchange for membership, Mack and other “masters” allegedly coerced recruits into providing “collateral” such as nude images or sexually explicit videos.

One NXIVM victim, the actress Jessica Joan, notably read a statement at Mack’s sentencing in 2021. She called Mack “a demon of a woman,” who had groomed her to be a “sex slave.” She added, “Allison Mack and Keith Rainier are the most evil monster I’ve ever met. She sought me out like a predator stalking their prey.”

When arrested in 2018, Mack initially faced charges of sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy, and forced labor conspiracy and faced up to 17 years in prison. She got a shortened sentence after pleading guilty to racketeering and providing evidence to prosecutors about Raniere.

Keith Raniere in turn was sentenced to 120 years in prison after being found guilty of all criminal charges against him, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and wire fraud conspiracy.

Apparently, Allison Mack made her own statement, telling people how much she regrets all the shit she did called joining NXIVM

“the biggest mistake and regret of my life.” She added: “I threw myself into the teachings of Keith Raniere with everything I had. I believed, whole-heartedly, that his mentorship was leading me to a better, more enlightened version of myself. I devoted my loyalty, my resources, and, ultimately, my life to him.”

Ooof. Just sad for everyone. A wise woman named LaToya Jackson/strong> once said “Summmin’ in tha milk ain’t clean!” I mean, coming from that family, she would know. If it seems culty folks, -it probably is!
