“The clickbait kind of sex cult thing doesn’t explore deeply enough what happened,” former NXIVM member Mark Vicente said. “The very thing that actually demeans many people is also the very thing that got everybody’s attention'
“I began to understand what was going to happen to us,” said Vicente, recalling his decision to leave the well-backed organization. “They had so much money, so much power, I realized, ‘Oh they’re going to frame us for a whole bunch of things.
When they eventually did decide to turn their footage into a docuseries—which premieres on HBO August 23—they were intent on differentiating it from other documentaries devoted to cults. “It’s not like people went in saying, ‘Oh, this is a sex cult. Great, I’m in. I want to be coerced. I want to be blackmailed. I want to be branded,’” said Vicente. “That was the last thing in anybody’s mind. Really good people got lied to, got coerced, got blackmailed.”
