Jennifer Aniston continues to become the subject of many allegations. A report from a magazine previously claimed that she "unwittingly dabbled" in the alleged "sex cult" NXIVM, alongside Gerald Butler.
Sources stated that the two celebrities took courses from the infamous organization, and ended up impressing the members. However, Aniston and Butler "never returned" after learning what the cult expected of them, adding that this turned them off.
The headline of the narrative, which New Idea published, implied that the two stars "fought" their way to escape the group. But, the story itself claims that they no longer attended the succeeding courses after witnessing it once.
Gossip Cop slammed the publication's move to "bait" the audience using their headlines. Aside from branding it as "misleading," the reputed publication noted that the magazine always fails to deliver its promised "salacious" stories.
Apart from the issues regarding the magazine's content delivery, Gossip Cop clarified that the story about Jennifer Aniston and Gerald Butler never happened. Upon investigating the real-life events, the trustworthy publication revealed that the celebrities never became active members of NXIVM, noting that they never even became "confirmed" constituents of the cult.
Informative and documentary series centering on the alleged sex cult, later on, became widely accessible on small screens. Entertainment Tonight released a report about the controversy, explaining that Jennifer Aniston and Gerald Butler did attend a class once in the past.
However, the two celebrities only participated in the organization's "public side," which centered on "self-help" and "empowerment." Sources within the group, also, confirmed that NXIVM typically utilized the Friends actress's attendance to attract others to join the cult.
Former members, then, echoed the same statements, noting that the group used not only Aniston's name but other high-profile personalities', as well. Some are celebrities and some are entrepreneurs, including even Rosario Dawson.
Amid all the allegations, Jennifer Aniston, alongside other celebrities, who allegedly had affiliations with NXIVM, remains silent. But, dependable publications, like Gossip Cop reiterates that the Along Came Polly actress never became an actual member of the cult.
NXIVM is an American multi-level marketing scheme, which secretly became a "sex cult," according to Esquire. The group operated for nearly two decades under its head and founder, Keith Raniere.
One "survivor" came forward and exposed the truth behind the organization's operations. Based on the discoveries, NXIVM is a "barbaric" group that abused its members, emotionally and physically.
Following the exposés, heads Clare Bronfman and Keith Raniere received their respective sentences earlier in September and October. Several former members of the cult, later on, came forward, as well, sparking the creation of the documentary series materials on HBO and Starz.
