#NXIVM: The Demands on Allison Mack

When you post to Twitter the question of whether Allison Mack is a victimizer or victim, you’ll get a lot of angry responses. What Mack did, recruiting women to be part of a sexual slavery subsidiary of NXIVM (called DOS), was criminal – no doubt, but we also know of the hypnosis and mind control that cult leader Keith Raniere subjected her to. In case you are unfamiliar with how batshit it all is behind the scenes, I’m going to link to an article by NXIVM’s former publicist Frank Parlato.

When Parlato was with NXIVM it was, quite simply as far as optics, a company devoted to professional and personal development. As he began to realize what Keith was doing, he left and over the years to come he’d find out about the DOS division with its sex trafficking component. Parlato would of course become a “suppressive person” (Scientology term) equivalent to NXIVM.

I think you’ll find this report documented by Parlato to be as shocking as I did. https://frankreport.com/2018/04/10/part-2-how-allison-mack-became-a-sex-slaver-she-gave-nxivm-cult-leader-graphic-nude-photos/

#RHONY: Behind the Scenes Drama Between Dorinda and Luann

Oy vey, those Real Housewives blogs certainly make cast members angry! In case you’re not in the know, I’m referring to the blogs that cast mates are required to write about each episode that airs. These posts appear on the Bravo website. Never one to disappoint us, the ladies of Real Housewives of New York are keeping up the high-intensity drama now that cameras have stopped rolling. What they choose to write is always subjected to backlash and accusations of hypocrisy.

Luann took to her blog to convey that she hopes Dorinda took Bethenny’s critique about her drinking to heart and internalized it. It seems that Lu’s remarks and her loyalty to Sonja are maximally irksome to Dorinda. So Dorinda is biting back. On Twitter, she shared the sentiment of how people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. As Dorinda privately remarked to me: “I think my tweet says it all, don’t you?”

Keep an eye out for more on this story soon on AllAboutTRH.com.

#RHONY: The Drescher Disclosures (Link to “All About TRH” Piece)

Remember former Real Housewives of New York cast member Aviva Drescher of the legendary leg throw?! How could you not? I wrote about an interview she did with The Reality Rundown podcast where she spilled some major tea. She addressed the “ghost writer” debacle with Carole Radziwill and her own firing from the show among other topics. Following is the link to that recap: http://www.allabouttrh.com/2018/05/11/aviva-dreschers-riveting-revelations-on-the-reality-rundown-podcast/

Mixed Views on UN Ambassador Nikki Haley

As you can see here from this little blog I started -one I’m hoping to devote more time to so it becomes more than “this little blog I started ” – I’m a pop culture junkie. You’ve probably surmised that I watch and comment on reality television…a lot. I’m not the biggest fanatic when it comes to politics. However, every once in a while, I weigh in on the state of our nation and the people in government. I do not really have many opinions when it comes to the current UN ambassador Nikki Haley, but around me I hear the voices of so many weighing in. For I live in a Jewish community where Israel is foremost on people’s thoughts and they have recognized Haley as a major friend, advocate and defender of the land. Following is an article I wrote for FitsNews.com that captures the opinions of many people around me, some who adore the ambassador, others who view her as problematic, and some with mixed feelings.

#SouthernCharm Debacle: Nanny is Second Accuser

If you don’t follow Amy Feinstein on Twitter, you’re missing out. The writer who contributes to both Inquistr.com and FitsNews.com broke a major story that she published on the latter site this am. Amy is one to watch because she really has the scoop on Bravo’s Southern Charm and is more in the know about that show than anyone I’ve encountered. She is also someone who wants to see Kathryn Dennis rise triumphantly, so on a personal level, I respect that as a woman who champions women and wants to see the former underdog redeem herself. We all realize how delicate this is as well as Kat’s sobriety. Two steps forward, two steps back and so on….

By now you know all about the Thomas Ravenel allegations of sexual assault. I conducted the very first interview with Ashley Perkin on this little blog right here. Since then, I’ve connected with FitsNews, which published the first piece breaking the news that an accuser had come forward (I just wish that People, Us Weekly and Page Six had credited Fitsnews editor Will Folks. I’m a big believer in giving credit where credit is due – always!). Although it was a strange way to be introduced, since connecting, I’ve written a few articles for them myself. With that long introduction, I must say that FitsNews’ editor Will Folks has been working tirelessly with Amy Feinstein to give us top coverage of everything pertaining to the current Southern Charm debacle.

This morning’s major revelation, courtesy of Amy Feinstein, was a huge bomb: The second TRav accuser is Nanny Dawn.

She spent 5 hours with the police a few days ago giving her account of Thomas’s unwanted advances in 2015.
