0:00.0 | Sup you beautiful bastards. Hope you've been a fantastic Tuesday. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show and let's just jump into it. |
0:06.5 | And the first thing we're going to talk about today is a massive update around that nexium situation. |
0:10.5 | Which I will say if you haven't seen our deep dive into that story, I'm going to link to it down below. |
0:14.0 | I highly recommend you check it out. It is just insane. But to give you a super brief TLDR today just so we can talk about it. Nexium is a cult that was started by Keith Reneer where members would take classes to improve their lives. |
0:23.6 | And within Nexium, a sorority was started called DOS, which was similar to a pyramid scheme with levels of masters and slaves. |
0:29.6 | And slaves reportedly would be branded, starved, photographed naked, forced to have sex with Reneer, along with performing chores for their masters. Following multiple former members speaking out about the abusive practices in DOS, |
0:38.3 | the FBI then started an investigation into the group. |
0:41.3 | And that investigation resulted in charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy |

1:03.6 | of branding because it was more meaningful than tattooed. And with all of that said, it brings us to |
1:07.6 | the massive update yesterday where Mac pleaded guilty to one count of racketeering conspiracy and one count of racketeering, saying in court, |
1:14.1 | I joined nexium to find purpose, I truly believed I found a group of individuals who believed |
1:18.3 | as I did, I believed Keith Reneer's intentions were to help people and I was wrong, I must |
1:22.5 | take full responsibility for my conduct. |
1:24.8 | Mac went on to say that she was a member of the Secret Society and that she recruited women and collected collateral or |
1:29.1 | Embarrassing information to hold over the recruits and adding I'm very sorry for the victims of this case |
1:33.3 | I'm very sorry for who I've hurt through my misguided adherence to Keith Reneer's teachings |
