Lauren Salzman's mother Nancy is the co-founder of NXIVM alongside Keith Raniere. During her trial, she admitted to interfering with NXIVM's perceived enemies twice. She reportedly stole the email passwords of people who were thought to oppose NXIVM, and altered tapes of herself teaching courses to be used during a lawsuit against cult deprogrammer Rick Ross, who helped NXIVM members escape.
Old tweets of Allison Mack have been resurfaced, indicating she attempted to recruit Emma Watson, Kelly Clarkson and writers known for their feminist work to what she described as a "human development and women's movement".
Even though Allison Mack's custody includes not using the Internet, she was identified as a student at Berkeley in September 2020, which generated online outrage from her classmates. Mack apparently enrolled in multiple courses such as "Gender, Sex and Power" and "The History and Practice of Human Rights."

One of the women Allison Mack approached to join NXIVM was journalist and activist Noor Tagouri. She was reportedly unsettled that the "woman empowering" group was actually led by a man, and was supposed to meet Mack in New York but decided against it.
