Below is a paragraph involving Seagram heiresses Sara and Clare Bronfman:

Which is not how many people within nxivm saw Sara and Clare. While there is sympathy for the psychological pressures they may have endured, there is still a lot of ire toward them. “They were made important in the organization based on what they brought to the organization—money and the Bronfman name,” says one woman. And they used their money, she says, “to buy their way to the top.” It started with Sara, who some insiders claim was promoted “before she’d earned it.” She was put on nxivm’s board and given the title of minister of humanities, which meant that Sara was responsible for organizing all of the group’s events—a job for which she had few qualifications, former insiders say. “She didn’t know how to run a business, because she never has,” says one former member. Which is not to say she did nothing—she helped launch nxivm centers in New York City and Belfast, and it was partly through her connections that nxivm was able to arrange a V.I.P. session with Richard Branson on his private Caribbean island. But when she was put in charge of nxivm’s head trainers, it created an uproar in the ranks. She played favorites, one woman says, cutting people out of important commissions. Her spaciness, some began to believe, was “partially an act, a way of evading responsibility.” If Raniere gained control over people through their vulnerabilities, his influence over Sara, one person says, “was that he made her important in her own mind.”

Alison's wife is Nicki Clyne, and also an NXIVM member.. Still didn't ring a bell for me. Cally Tyrol from Battlestar Gallactica did, though.
