What happens when loyalty turns into blackmail? Sarah Edmondson takes us inside the moment NXIVM crossed an irreversible line: being branded in a room of women bound by fear and secrecy. Sarah describes what led to her breaking point, the risks of speaking out, and how she transformed from devoted insider to whistleblower.

A cult movie that got it wrong. A women’s “sisterhood” that wasn’t what it seemed. And a commitment that came with collateral. On this episode of Killer Thriller, Sarah Edmondson joins us to unpack the reality behind the NXIVM dramatization, how a five-day course turned skepticism into belief, and the moment loyalty crossed into something far more dangerous.

She built a brand that caught the attention of Goop, TEDx, and Silicon Valley's elite. Orgasmic meditation was sold as empowerment and connection. But former members later described something else entirely: coercion, exploitation, and control behind the curated wellness aesthetic. By 2023, the story moved from podcasts and profiles to arrests and a criminal courtroom.

Her experiences in Northern California sex cults set this entrepreneur up to run one of her own. She claimed her company's goal was simple: to foster connection between individuals through the practice of orgasmic meditation. But those who joined called it a prostitution ring, complete with coercive control, financial manipulation, and sexual abuse - all packaged in shiny Silicon Valley wellness culture.

Investigative journalist Ellen Huet joins the show to discuss her stunning new book on OneTaste, the wellness startup that rose to Silicon Valley fame before spiraling into allegations of manipulation, coercion, and cult-like control. We unpack how a company selling “female empowerment” turned into one of tech's most disturbing cautionary tales, and what its downfall reveals about power, charisma, and the blind spots of the startup world.This conversation goes deeper than the headlines and asks a larger question:How does a community built on self-improvement end up crossing the line into harm?If you follow the intersection of tech, power, psychology, and accountability, this is one you won't want to miss.

https://amzn.to/4o51rLCJabali Smith was a 6-yr-old in Berkeley, California when he was trafficked along with his sister over the border into Mexico and held captive by a messianic doomsday sex cult. SLAVE courageously and boldly chronicles his journey as a child slave; the escape and the eventual rise from the ashes of tragedy. A story of unimaginable suffering followed by the discovery of success, love, compassion and forgiveness.Jabali spent years being beaten, tortured, starved, sexualized, brainwashed, and confined to a dark closet in both Mexico and the United States. His disappearance and re-emergence years later with no alarms set off within our societal system represents the current fracture of communication allowing human trafficking to flourish into the fastest growing business & commodity in the World.Instead of remaining bitter, Jabali became a devoted, loving father and founder of The Well Child Foundation, serving children and their need for empowerment in a way that he never experienced as a child. SLAVE exposes not only the suffering of human trafficking victims but the indomitable spirit of survivors and all that is possible when faith survives the ultimate challenge.https://amzn.to/4o51rLCBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

We also reflect on Martin Luther's influence on the Protestant Reformation that was sparked on October 31.

Think cult scandal is just a modern phenomenon? Think again. In Part 2, historian Joshua Paddison unpacks America's original sex cult, Fountain Grove—complete with group bathing, soulmate mysticism, financial abuse, and a scandal that turned “cult” from a neutral word into a headline-grabbing accusation. Josh guides us through all the weirdness: the rise and fall of Thomas Lake Harris, survivor red flags, bitter public smear campaigns, historical cover-ups, and the jaw-dropping parallels between 1890s California communes and today's cult headlines. Plus: why California became cult central, how cult terminology shapes survivor stories, and what historians wrestle with when labeling new religious movements. This one's got epic takedowns, wild twists, and enough historical intrigue to keep you curious for days.Be sure to nerd out on Josh's book, Unholy Sensations: A Story of Sex, Scandal, and California's First Cult Scare.Also…let it be known that:The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

Did you know that women's clitoral orgasms have the power to completely transform the world and turn it into a blissful nirvana free from pain and suffering? They don't, but, that's essentially what OneTaste founder Nicole Daedone preached at one point before she went to jail. For years, she put on clinics based around male attendees stroking female attendees clitorises in a very specific way designed to completely transform them...and the world around them. Does that make sense? It shouldn't.

Today, we're talking about a crunchy mom influencer, known as "Rose Uncharted" on Instagram, who recently deconstructed from Christianity and started sharing New Age ideas and beliefs. This is not to shame her but rather to draw attention to the false teachings and bad theologies that can influence even the most scrupulous people. We go over her past posts about motherhood and health and detail how she slowly spiraled into the unbiblical idea of a "Christ consciousness." Of course, this idea has been around for decades, but that doesn't stop people from claiming that it's a new idea. And we refute all of these ideas of a "Christ consciousness" with the truth found in scripture.  This episode was sponsored by Olive, the app built for the MAHA movement.

Through the early 2000s, a satanic, paedophilic sex cult, with dozens of members and an obsession with Ancient Egyptian iconography, ran totally undetected in an unassuming cul-de-sac in south Wales. And its depraved, shabby and mostly toothless kingpin, Colin Batley, was perhaps the most unlikely cult leader imaginable…For over a decade, Batley used his twisted free-love philosophy to groom the children of his besotted followers – some as young as seven – into believing that their ‘spiritual path' was to satisfy his sinister desires. And that was only the beginning…Exclusive bonus content:Wondery - Ad-free & ShortHandPatreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesFollow us on social media:YouTubeTikTokInstagramVisit our website:WebsiteSources available on redhandedpodcast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today, we talk about the modern glorification of witchcraft as a simple aesthetic when it is anything but and Taylor Swift's seemingly innocent incorporation of it in her Eras Tour. We also discuss the Harris campaign's desperation as it resorts to using free business loans and legal weed to draw black voters. Next, we get into the recent unearthing of Kamala's radical transgender policies for inmates in California — including Harris having the luxury of ignoring the always-tragic consequences for the victims of these policies.

October 15th: Bethany Deaton Born (1985) There is a fine line between belief and manipulation. On October 15th 1985 a woman was born who would place all of her belief in the words of one man.

In today's episode, Allie and producer Bri react to the weirdest TikToks we could find. We watch a lady making salad in an airport and a blasphemous pastor claiming to know what Jesus would think about abortion. Also, are fairies actually real? And is there, in fact, a correct way to eat french fries? We also take a look at one comedian's take on Roe v.
