Two years after being released from prison, Allison Mack is starting to put together a book.
The former Nxivm “slave master” is pursuing a master’s degree in social work, he revealed on his new podcast, “Allison After Nxivm.”
The 43-year-old “Youngville” alum will tell the story of her shocking career change in a seven-episode series, Variety reported Monday.
The outlet did not provide further insight into the former actress’ transition into social work, but did mention her recent marriage to husband Frank.
As previously reported, the two tied the knot in a ceremony in Los Angeles in June 2025, six months after meeting at a dog park.
The podcast premiered on Monday with two episodes, neither of which addressed her marriage or master’s degree.
Instead, the project began by outlining Mack’s June 2021 sentence, when he was sentenced to three years in prison for serving as a recruiter for sex cult leader Keith Rainier.
This happened two years after the “Wilfred” alumnus pleaded guilty to racketeering and racketeering conspiracy charges.
She will serve 21 months in prison and will be released in early June 2023.
Mack broke down in tears during the episode as she talked about her family who accompanied her to the courtroom for the sentencing.
“Oh my god, my poor little brother behind me had to hear about his sister,” she recalled tearfully. “Poor mom! I’m so sorry, you guys. I can live with it, but like f–k, you guys, I’m so sorry. I don’t think I’m innocent, and they were.”
The rest of the premiere episode covered Mac’s childhood, her acting career, her years of abusive relationships, and finally, her encounter with Nxivm in 2006 through co-star Kristin Kreuk.
The second installment chronicled Mack’s move from Brooklyn to the cult’s headquarters in Albany, New York, to “immerse himself in Raniere’s teachings.”
Mr. Raniere, in particular, is currently serving a 120-year prison sentence sentenced in 2020.
The rest of the podcast series will try to figure out whether Mack is “a victim or someone who victimized others,” host Natalie Robemed said.
Brooklyn Federal Court Judge Nicholas Garaufis similarly told Mack during her sentencing that she felt both “manipulated” and “captive” by Rainier.
“In (cult) terms, you were both master and slave,” he said. “It is difficult to determine an appropriate sentence for a perpetrator who is also a victim of his co-conspirators.”
Mack, in particular, has said little about Nxivm since his arrest in 2018 for brainwashing women to become Raniere’s sex slaves.
However, she said in 2022’s Infamous: Inside America’s Biggest Scandal that she joined the cult because she felt like a “fraud” and wanted to be “a great actress again.”
She explained: “I moved to Albany to fill that void and rediscover my lost soul.”
