00:48She says she first attended a NXIVM meeting in 2006 through Smallville co-star Kristen Krook.

00:53We both were at the point where we were 25. We were in New York City together.

00:58It was our break, the actress says on the podcast.

01:01And we had rented an apartment in the same building in the West Village.

01:05And we both were like, why do we both feel so unsatisfied?

01:09When Krook discovered NXIVM, she explained it to Mack as,

01:12The science of joy. It's the most amazing thing, Mack remembers.

01:16She was just like super excited about it.

01:33When I was about 23, I took an executive success program slash NXIVM intensive,

01:39what I understood to be a self-help personal growth course,

01:42that helped me handle my previous shyness, which is why I continued with the program.

01:46I left about five years ago and had minimal contact with those who were still involved.

01:51The statement continues.

01:53The accusations that I was in the inner circle, or recruited women, are blatantly false.

01:59During my time, I never experienced any illegal or nefarious activity.

02:03I am horrified and disgusted by what has come out about DOS.

02:06Thank you, sir.
