- “Mack elaborated on the secret “women’s empowerment group” she wanted Nicole to join. She described the group, which was then called the Vow, as a mentorship organization intended to encourage women to become more resilient and self-sufficient; the harder, stronger, smarter, more badass versions of themselves. More importantly, she also elaborated on what she meant by “collateral,” asking Nicole to provide a sexually explicit video of herself as well as letters that would hurt her family members or ruin her career.The latter was hardest for Nicole, who described herself as very close to her family; she burst into tears when she recounted Mack telling her to write a letter falsely accusing her father of molesting her as a child, the same collateral Mack herself had provided. But when Nicole balked, Mack assured her the letters would be placed in a lockbox, and were only intended as an exercise of “trust.” “Don’t you want to be the kind of person who trusts someone?,” Nicole recounted Mack saying.”
- “According to Nicole, Mack’s vacillation between being loving and generous, and cruel and abusive, that further disoriented Nicole.”
