She's not the only one tied up in it apparently; copied from another site I sometimes post at: VICE seems to indicate two BSG'ers: Nikki Clyne (Cally) and Grace Park (Boomer, etc) were also involved, but this article's a few weeks old. This article is a jaw-dropper, if true. I can't imagine anyone's career affected in a positive way by this. https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/kzxnqx/all-the-vancouver-actresses-linked-to-an-alleged-sex-cult Since 2006 the organization would bring on several Vancouver-bred actresses including Hawaii Five-O’s Grace Park, Smallville’s Kristin Kreuk and Battlestar Galactica’s Nicki Clyne. Edmondson personally recruited Clyne, who reportedly remains faithful to Raniere even after his arrest. Though Park and Kreuk have cut ties with the organization, former members say their past roles within Nxivm were undeniably significant.

Okay I actually know a little bit about this. I met Nicki Clyne in 2005 when she joined this group and she talked to me in great length about the organization. Nicki's story is much like Sarah Edmondson's, in she was "an honest, sincere person, who honestly believed in the value of the Nxivm teachings.” Those teachings were about self improvement and being a better person to yourself and to society as a whole. Nicki contacted me about a year ago about her new business venture which revolves around holding news outlets to ethical standards and calling out slants and bias in reporting. All my conversations with Nicki have always been about improving the human experience, the very opposite of exploitation. Okay, so then the question is, do you believe the allegations? If I was in your place, I probably would not, and I would just wait until more facts came to light. But I always take into consideration where the facts, such as they may be, are coming from. Distrust of the media is an all-too valid concern.

Well, I'm sure she would It reminds me of Scientology in that way. Now matter how bad things are, you get into a way of thinking -- with or without brainwashing -- that makes you think of things in a nicer light. You end up with books like "Beyond Belief" (Jenna Miscavige) describing the horrors if you're lucky enough to get out.
