India Oxenberg told Business Insider that her entrepreneurial dream of opening a catering business drew her to Nxivm before she knew it was a cult.
So when her mother, the former "Dynasty" star Catherine Oxenberg, mentioned a new class called the "Executive Success Program run by Nxivm," she was instantly interested. "The way that they pitched it was that this was going to be a practical MBA and that it was going to be my version of alternative education," Oxenberg said. "They said I was going to gain the skills that I needed in order to be successful in my life. And on top of it, they also sold that they would be able to remove illogical fears that were holding you back from going all in on any of your projects.
"At a certain point, I had to ask permission to eat, to go anywhere, and to travel," she said. "It was a pretty intense level of control. It's so twisted that when I look at it now, it's just so obvious that it's abusive. But at the time I felt like I deserved it."
