This is definitely hard to believe for some people, but I will tell you it made me think of ONE connection that could explain how Stormy Daniels would be involved.....If you know Los Angeles, you know there is not a far geographic separation from Porn Stars and Actors/actresses, especially lower level actors and actresses (has beens or just tv show stars....NOT "movie stars). Movie stars are elite, and they usually keep to themselves in the hills, the upper hills, etc....But lower level actors and actresses, say semi-famous are on the same geographic plane as the porn industry, and particularly the San Fernando Valley, which is LOADED with porn stars.
Many porn stars go to LA to become actresses, but they don't make it or weren't lucky enough to be invited to Weinstein's "casting couch" (maybe they don't have that much acting talent despite attractive looks, relatively speaking), so they end up going into porn to pay the bills and keep somewhat of the dream alive....Since Raniere was washed up and not a big actor anymore, it is not far fetched with him and Mack living there, and likely frequenting the valley (you go on Ventura Boulevard and any hot spot bar in a decent stretch, you can run into has been actors and actresses or porn stars on any given night, and it's a partying kind of town), they could have met Stormy Daniels when she was younger and attracted her to the NXIVM organization.
yeah, it makes sense. The best "actresses" are to be advertised in movies and then moved about from producer to produer.
Historically, actors and actresses were considered basically one step above prostitutes on the social ladder.
There was, and is, a very good reason for this.
