By Supernatural standards, that's hardly meta at all. They did one episode where Sam and Dean traveled to another universe where Supernatural is just a TV show, and everyone confuses them for Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki. It's also established in their show that there's a series of books chronicling the brothers' adventures that has a small but devoted fanbase, meaning Sam and Dean actually visit a Supernatural fan convention at one point.

Allison Mack has been named as a second-in-command of a sex cult under investigation for extorting and branding its members

Of all the names to be brought up in a scandal this was not one I was expecting.

News reports that Allison Mack is probably going to get arrested soon.

...oh my god. This isn't from The Onion?

No, seriously, what the sh't. [lol] I... I don't...

She kind of fell off of my radar. I occasionally did some searches for her on Google Images, but other then that I assumed she was just one of those who ended up pursuing something else and stayed low-key. She still had some media presence. I figured she'd be tapped for an appearance on Supergirl someday. And what little I've seen of her post-Smallville made her seem really pleasant.

Chloe was such a Breakout Character too. Mack's crimes don't necessarily affect that but... wow.

It's always hard to reconcile the character with the actor, you just assume the person you've been watching for years is a personal friend.

I will say, looking into the story, is that it seems to originate from a help group advertised for people dealing with anxiety/shyness. Kristin Kreuk has admitted that she (and a number of other people in the Vancouver film industry) was a part of that group during the Smallville years, but moved on long ago.

So there is a possibility, however slim, that the human trafficking/sex cult element is separate from Mack's involvement. Doesn't necessarily exonerate her, regardless.

The allegations are not new. I first heard about them 2-3 years ago when they were being dismissed as a conspiracy from Alex Jones types.

‘Smallville’ Star Allison Mack Says Branding Women in NXIVM ‘Sex Cult’ Was Her Idea

Allison Mack, the former “Smallville” star arrested last month on sex trafficking charges for her role as a leader of the NXIVM organization that authorities have called a “sex cult,” said that she came up with the idea of physically branding the women in the group.

“I was like: ‘Y’all, a tattoo? People get drunk and tattooed on their ankle ‘BFF,’ or a tramp stamp,” Mack told the New York Times Magazine in a story published late Wednesday. “I have two tattoos and they mean nothing.'”

Times writer Vanessa Grigoriadis also reported that not all of the women who received the cauterized brand were told that the symbol contained the initials of both NXIVM founder Keith Raniere and Mack herself.

-sigh-

  • John Kricafulsi (statutory rape)
  • Roseanne Barr (racist)
  • Alison Mack (sex trafficker)
  • Bill Cosby (rapist)
  • Tom Cruise (Scientology)
  • Harvey Weinstein (what didn't he do?)

What's next? David Lynch, the Russian spy?

It’s bizarre because Allison Mack came off as relatively normal and down to earth.

I'm trying to think of a time that happened on Gotham and it's not coming to me.

  • Agents of SHIELD - Coulson and Daisy are usually forced to murder their foes
  • Arrow, Daredevil, Legends of Tomorrow, etc - hahahahaha
  • Supergirl - well I kind of stopped watching this one but I don't think Kara's up for straight-up murder
