Allison After NXIVM: "The Monster She Met. The Monster She Became."

Dec 1, 2025 · 1h 12m

When we got the email inviting us to interview journalist Natalie Robehmed about her new CBC + Campsite Media podcast, Allison After NXIVM , we weren't sure what to do. Talking about Allison Mack — someone who caused very real harm, including to people we've had on this show - is complicated. And honestly? We didn't want to accidentally platform or sanitize that harm. But then we listened. And what we found wasn't a redemption story. It was complexity. It was discomfort. It was a journalist tracing how someone can be both a victim and a perpetrator. In this conversation, Natalie takes us behind her interviews with Allison: childhood exploitation, Hollywood pressures, the hunger to be "the best," and the dynamics of NXIVM's inner circle that turned all of that into something horrifying. We're not here to tell you how to feel about Allison Mack. But we are here to sit in the space where victimhood and violence blur - the space where a person realizes the monster they were running from is the one they learned to be.
