'The Vow' watches Catherine Oxenberg enlist the assist of Sarah Edmondson and Nippy Ames to get her daughter India out of DOS. Where is India nowadays?
HBO's The Vow, which releases new episodes each and every Sunday, has been giving cult-obsessed audience one thing to look ahead to.
Exploring the self-help multi-level advertising and marketing group called NXIVM, which may ring a bell to somebody who stuck wind of the Allison Mack and Keith Raniere trials, the nine-part HBO docuseries dives into many main points we have not heard earlier than.
Season 1 offered audience to India Oxenberg, an heiress to Hollywood royalty and royalty-royalty, who was once in the throes of NXIVM for longer than many of the other former members who seem on the collection. So, where is India Oxenberg now? Keep reading for details.
Season 1, Episode 4 of The Vow followed former Dynasty actress Catherine Oxenberg as she tried to save her daughter from NXIVM and DOS, the sex slavery subgroup of the alleged cult.
India Oxenberg was, oddly sufficient, first offered to NXIVM by way of her mother in 2011, when Catherine thought her then-19-year-old daughter could benefit from the Executive Success Program (ESP). According to Esquire, Catherine "believed India would benefit from the empowering self-help workshops NXIVM purported to provide to its members."
Eight years after the reality, Catherine enlisted the assist of two key avid gamers in The Vow, Sarah and Nippy, to help get her daughter out of the cult, and in the end to understand the damaging reality of NXIVM and its DOS crew, which branded its participants — India included.
While India stayed in NXIVM after Sarah Edmondson's damning 2017 New York Times exposé, she finally left the cult once Keith was once arrested in February 2018 and extradited from Mexico to New York.
That arrest, at the side of mounting drive from Catherine and the influence of her boyfriend at the time, supplied the easiest break out for India to get free once and for all. Since then, she has spoken out about her reviews within the cult and worked towards healing.
In 2021, India penned a non-public piece with People Magazine, writing, "For myself, I've actively worked against negative programming and learned along the way how to be my own parent or my own best friend, even in my inner thoughts. It's also important to stay connected to people and communities that offer support ... Having my mother and family by my side as a continuous source of comfort is a crucial part of my healing journey, and I encourage everyone to learn how to support survivors with empathy."
These days, India seems to be residing in Los Angeles, close to her Malibu-based mom. She became engaged in 2020 to her long-term spouse. Most importantly, India has been doing a lot of healing, regularly posting on Instagram about her journey.
We're so happy India is protected and doing neatly after her time in NXIVM.
