HBO's The Vow dives deep into the history of Nxivm and its former members, including founder Keith Raniere's ex-girlfriend, Barbara Bouchey. Bouchey first met Raniere in the spring of 2000 through her friend and former therapist, Nancy Salzman. Bouchey - who was working as a financial planner - was going through a divorce at the time, so Salzman encouraged her to join the "self-help group," where she was introduced to Raniere. "Keith was a very dynamic person," Bouchey said in a 2018 interview with Megyn Kelly. "He was very soft-spoken, very engaging in dialogues. He was funny, he was witty, he could play the piano."
A few months later, a romantic connection formed between Bouchey and Raniere, and the two began dating. "Dating Keith Raniere did not look like going to dinner or a weekend at the beach. Keith didn't do those kind of social things,...

HBO's The Vow details the stories of several former members of the Nxivm cult, including Barbara Bouchey, the ex-girlfriend of founder Keith Raniere. Today, Bouchey seems to be steering clear of public life, but she's taken the time, in the past year or so, to share more details of her story with the media and the public.
In a 2019 interview with CBC, Bouchey revealed details about her time with Nxivm, including how she first got involved with Raniere after being introduced through Nxivm cofounder Nancy Salzman. She joined Nxivm in 2000, she said, and he confided details of his childhood to her.
"Keith also told me that when he was 13 years old, he believes that's when he had what he deems this transformation of himself. That's when he believes he, quote, 'became enlightened.' And his last, quote, 'attachment to the outside world' disappeared," she explained. Bouchey also revealed that Raniere's...
