This political commentator/influencer very active on social media has been getting called out repeatedly this week for his friendship with the s.e.x. cult actress, and he has not been coping well.

James Lindsay

Nicki Clyne – NXIVM member

Free speech advocate who popularized ‘groomer’ slur wants to suppress a photo of him with a sex cult member

James Lindsay has claimed credit for popularizing the movement to falsely malign LGBTQ people as groomers. He was permanently suspended from Twitter after it began prohibiting using the slur on the basis of someone’s gender identity. He appears to have asked to be reinstated when Elon Musk took over.

Now Lindsay seems to want the world to forget that he has hung out with a person who belonged to a sex cult whose founder was convicted of human trafficking.

Lindsay, a self-proclaimed free speech advocate, is actively trying to stop people from sharing a photo of him with actress Nicki Clyne, who was a member of NXIVM, the notorious multi-level marketing company turned sex cult.

Top members of NXIVM—including Clyne’s wife—have been convicted of crimes ranging from racketeering to human trafficking and sexual abuse. Clyne’s wife, Allison Mack, pled guilty to racketeering and racketeering conspiracy in 2020. Mack filed for divorce from Clyne after she pled guilty to the charges; it is not clear whether their divorce has been finalized.

Clyne hasn’t been charged with any crime, though Newsweek reports she continues defending NXIVM.

Last April, Clyne tweeted an evocative picture of herself with Lindsay in which both have their legs spread wide open.

She captioned it, “I taught him everything he knows.” Lindsay replied to her tweet with a second, similar photo of the two together that he captioned, “LOL advanced studies.”

The photo with James came years after NXIVM’s human trafficking exploits were well-known.

On Sunday, Lindsay asked his Twitter followers to report anyone who posts “that spammed photo” in replies to his tweets. “It’s not hard to ignore, but it needs getting shut down,” he added.

Lindsay followed his post asking followers to report the photo as spam with multiple tweets complaining about accounts posting photos of him with Clyne. – Source
