Allison, not long after Nicole convinced her to join, became the target of RJ's ire.

There's like an evening where there's a bunch of people hanging out at the property and RJ gets really drunk.

And he tells Allison, like, get down on your hands and knees.

And he pulls up her skirt and he starts whipping her with a writing crop and just like screaming and cursing.

He's just like a maniac, right?

Nicole does nothing, even though Allison is very clearly frightened, right?

And that's kind of something Nicole takes with her is that this person who I thought was into me and was like it convinced me that this was a safe place brought me into the situation and said nothing when this happened.

Right.

Yeah.

And it happening at the same Nicole's cult is going to happen at the same time as NXIVM.

I mean, this is to next time and get started in the 90s some, but they're very similar movements.

Yes, there's a lot that they have in common.

Nicole would later brag when she starts her cult that she was one of the only women RJ never tried to hit, which like, I don't know what that says.

Yeah.

In 2001, after three years with the welcome consensus, Nicole decided she had reached the peak of what they could give her.

Their top training course was called Validation.

And to pass, you had to complete a three-hour orgasmic stroking session and do a one-hour public demonstration.

To even attempt this cost $100,000.

Nicole doesn't have that kind of money.

So she goes to Erwan and is like, hey, man, you've just come into an inheritance.
