NXIVM insiders reveal emotional scars as Raniere's trial nears
Former television star Catherine Oxenberg never believed in NXIVM, the Colonie-based organization she said tore a wedge between her and her daughter.
Barbara Bouchey still contends some good existed in NXIVM. This, despite being an organization that was secretive, vindictive and the product of a leader — her ex-boyfriend Keith Raniere — whom she called a sexual predator.
On Monday, both women expressed their beliefs on NXIVM to more than 140 guests in the Hearst Media Center at a forum called "NXIVM Exposed: A Pre-Trial Talk."
Also speaking was Michael Grygiel, an Albany-based media lawyer who represented Suzanna Andrews of Vanity Fair after she authored an expose on NXIVM.
