Celebrity "Orgasm" Expert Force SA Victims To Recreate Their Original Assault To 'Heal'

Barbing, barboo. >> Reese Jones is every San Francisco tech. guy's dream situation. He creates a. company, sells it to Motorola for $205. million. He starts his own venture capital firm, and Reese Jones has a look. I feel like. he would be cast as an extra in Game of. Thrones and not necessarily a role that. a lot of people would make thirst traps. over on TikTok. He's got crazy graying. hair, a gray beard. He's got kind of a.

stocky build. He's an old-looking guy. >> People searching for symptoms of their. body was able to predict pancreatic. cancer. >> So, of course, part of the dream for the. SF tech guys is looking like that and. then dating a younger, hotter, fit, blonde woman who is open, who is. experimental in the bedroom. He is. living the dream. But, something really. crazy is about to happen to Reese Jones. Soon, in court, it's going to be.

revealed that Reese Jones likes to be. leashed up with a collar around his neck. like a dog, being walked around by a. young woman half of his age, like a. little dog, eating out of a dog bowl on. the floor. But, before that, >> [music]. >> he's going to be kidnapped. It's Friday morning. He's going to be. walking down a sidewalk in San Francisco. and not even like the bad part of San. Francisco, because he's a. multi-millionaire. He lives where all. the other multi-millionaires live. But, a car is going to pull up, three men are. going to jump out with a gun, grab him,

throw a pillowcase over his head, handcuff him, strap him to the backseat. of the car, and like the movies, he. can't see anything that's going on. outside thanks to the pillowcase. But, he can feel his body, and his body is. swaying from side to side in the back. like they're they're going down some. sort of winding road. And now, he's. being pulled out of the car. He still. can't see. The captors, they're. escorting him up a flight of stairs. What do they want? Is he about to die? It feels like he's about to die. >> [snorts]. >> and it kind of sounds like it, too. I.

mean, if Reese had to imagine the song. that would play as he climactically. meets his death, it probably wouldn't be. Mozart's Requiem. But that feels a. little too on the nose or maybe that's. perfect because that's blasting. I mean, the captors, they are spending time and. energy to set the ambiance of his death. Mozart is playing on the speakers of the. warehouse and [music] he has been taken. into this massive building where he. probably is going to die. They take off.

the [music] pillowcase. He feels. something cold on his forehead. It's a. gun. And a face comes up real close. Are you. prepared to die, Reese? Next thing you know, Reese is being. placed inside of a coffin that's about. to slide shut and this is it. Like this. is really the end. All that work. creating the massive tech company, exiting, becoming richer than anybody. really needs to be. All for what? To die. listening to Mozart and it's muffled. because he's trapped inside this coffin. and the lights go out.

And when Reese opens his eyes again, the. coffin is open. His eyes are adjusting. to the light or maybe it's heaven, I. don't know. And there's an angel. standing dressed in white standing above. the coffin. Is this freaking for real right now? Brother Jones, hell is not just a. location in [music] the universe. What. does that even mean? It's a location in your mind where you. relive your sins. Follow me. It's like the Scrooge. Reese. gets up and is led through different.

rooms of the warehouse. Seven rooms to. be exact for the seven deadly sins. The. first [music] one, lust. Women, lots of. women dressed up as a schoolgirl, a cop, a nurse, a maid. There's piles of. intimate magazines, Playboy, Penthouse, all over the floor. There's TV screens. filling the room all playing X-rated. scenes. Reese must now fondle the woman. The. angel encourages him, demon, I don't. know, okay? Go ahead, collect the sin of. lust. And then the next room is greed. Reese.

is forced to lay down on a bed filled. with money and angels [music] show up. piling more and more things on top of. him, consumerism, clothes, makeup, just. all this trash weighing him down until. he begs to be freed. And then he's. entered into the next room, the next. deadly [music] sin, gluttony. He's. forced to un-clothe here, oink oink, [ __ ] He places pig ears on his head. He must eat from a dog bowl on the. ground while caramel sauce is poured on. top of him and then there are angels, demons, I don't know, they're in the.

room and they're licking it off of him. Then there's envy. Reese will be bound. to a chair while he watches his. girlfriend, his hotter, younger, blonde. girlfriend have intimate relations with. what is described as a buffet of people. She's saying unspeakable things that are. spoken, like, "It would have been so. good if you were my boyfriend, Reese, but because it's you, it's even better.". And after going through the seven deadly. sins, Reese Jones is going to be reborn,

>> [music]. >> alive, in the human world, where he's. going to be escorted to a rooftop deck. and dressed in white, just standing. there, looking out into the distance. >> [music]. >> is this hotter, younger, blonde woman. Who is that? She turns around and Reese. will likely smile because it's his. hotter, younger, blonde girlfriend. [music]. Happy birthday. All of this, the kidnapping, the seven. deadly sins, everything is an elaborate. birthday present for tech giant Reese.

Jones. That's what you get when you're. worth $200 million. and your girlfriend is the founder of. One Taste, a company that helps women. meditate by helping them achieve their. big O's. And soon, Reese is going to be. wrapped up in one of the strangest. potential trafficking cases, and Nicole. Daedone, a wellness company CEO, is. going to end up in the same prison as. none other than a peer of hers, Ghislaine Maxwell.

We would like to thank today's sponsors. who have made it possible for Rotten. Mango to support the Minnesota Immigrant. Rights Action Committee. They're. fighting to end the immigration raids. and deportations happening in Minnesota, and this episode's partnerships have. also made it possible to support Rotten.

Mango's growing team. And we'd also like. to thank you guys for your continued. support. As always, full show notes are. available at rottenmangopodcast.com. Today's case is really heavy in regards. to CSA, essay, and to be really. specific, there's going to be mentions. of essay against previous essay victims. with situations where essay victims are. being forced to recreate their essay. experience. And a lot of them, because they're. forced, it's just another essay. incident, further traumatizing them.

There's also going to be mentions in. stories of members of the queer. community being forced into situations. where they are. pressured into having intimate relations. with genders in which they are not. attracted to. So, please take care of. yourself. If these topics are too much, please click off and we will see you in. the next one. Additionally, statements. and quotes have been condensed for. brevity, and all of this information is. publicly available. So, with that being. said, let's get started. Did you know. that you can only work 4 hours in the. entire week? Not 40 hours. I'm saying 4.

hours, and you can still get paid and. live your best life. You can travel all. over the world. That is what everybody. who bought the book 4-Hour Work Week. thought that that was going to help them. achieve. It is probably one of the most. well-known, most read self-help books. out there. It's been translated into 40. different languages. One glowing review. of this self-help book reads, "Biggest. takeaway from the book, most of us have. the idea that we're supposed to work. until we're 60 and then retire and then. live a good life. Tim does a great job.

pointing out how backwards that idea is. and gives lots of suggestions for how to. change your life to accommodate. He. calls those who have done so the new. rich. They're rich in life, which is not. related to being rich in dollars.". Another review, not glowing, reads, "There's a chapter titled The. Low-Information Diet." Tim, the author, admits that he doesn't bother staying. informed about the news or any other. kind of current events, even to the. point that during election seasons, he. simply [music] just asks his more. educated friends about who they're going.

to vote for and then just votes for. those candidates. I'm not even kidding. you. He justifies this by saying how the. time it takes you to know, you know, learn things, it's time that could have. been spent running a business on. autopilot or having fun. So, there's that. I mean, needless to. say, over 2 million copies have been. sold and I have not met a single person. who has read one of those 2 million. copies and has managed to work 4 hours a. week, but a lot of people love the book. and they have taken nuggets of. information to apply to their lives. But, what the [ __ ] does Tim Ferriss know.

about One Taste and what does he have to. do with this case? I think it is cute to. poke fun at modern-day self-help gurus. Tim Ferriss seems to be one of the less. controversial ones from what I can see, which basically just means he has no. allegations of SA against him, okay? He. doesn't think women are created to. procreate and populate the planet. At. least I don't think so. I mean, he just. seems like. he's really into cold plunges, biohacking, and productivity. He's also. a victim of childhood SA himself. So, just before we get into the next part, I.

have no doubt that Tim Ferriss knew. nothing about what's actually going on. inside, in the depths of One Taste. I. think he just. >> OneTaste is a company. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> He just gets involved in makes it a bit. more public, mainstream. He's one of the. few people that was talking about. OneTaste that made it more mainstream, that had more people talking about. OneTaste, and that's why this is that's. why we're talking about it. So, with the. success of the 4-Hour Workweek, Tim. Ferriss starts his newest endeavor. It's. another self-help book called 4-Hour.

Body. It's cheeky. Okay, so Tim Ferriss, the productivity guru, productively. helping every single person out there. feel unproductive, is going to get a lot. more personal in this book, where he has. this whole chapter dedicated to the fact. that he's on a date with a 25-year-old. yoga instructor who's hot. I don't know. why her age is important, but it. intrigued me, so I Googled it. He was 33. when the book came out. So, I don't know. if that's an age gap that he wants us to.

know, but it's an 8-year-old younger. yoga teacher, and they're eating French. food, drinking champagne, and she just. blurts out to him that she's never had a. big O in her life. Her entire life she's. never experienced it. She's slept with. people, never had the big O. >> Orgasm, right? >> Yes. And he says, quote, "I've never won. the Powerball lottery, but I felt like I. just had.". >> What? >> Yeah. So, self-help guru decides to take. it upon himself to not be. I mean. he writes, [snorts] "So, it came to be.

that I made her a drunken promise I. would fix her inability to O, not that. night, not necessarily through me, but. somehow.". That is how he goes on a quest, a. journey, to talk to female O experts, and he comes across the big Ohm. She. calls it the Ohm. She doesn't call it. the O, she calls it an Ohm. >> Ohm? >> The Ohm expert, Nicole Daedone, the. founder of a company called OneTaste. He.

reads her book called Slow Sex. Tim. Ferriss writes about Nicole Daedone's. book, "This should be required education. for every man on the planet.". Another self-help guru, Tony Robbins, yeah, though much darker of a figure. considering he's got all those essay. allegations against him, but he says, he. even recommends the founder of OneTaste, her new book to all of his friends, including somebody who quote, "desperately [music] needed it." Even. Khloe Kardashian in a blog post wrote.

that everyone should read OneTaste. founder's book. She says orgasmic. meditation is the key to ultimate. satisfaction. Gwyneth Paltrow had a. whole podcast with Nicole Daedone, the. founder of OneTaste, and it's all run by. this hotter, younger, blonde woman, Nicole Daedone, who was a former. Buddhist. >> I thought I was going to be a Buddhist. nun. That was the route I was headed to. >> What when you say hotter, young, why is. it hotter, younger, blonde?

>> Oh, hotter, younger than Reese Jones. But she's just a hot, young, blonde. woman. >> Okay. Okay. >> And she was a former wanna-be Buddhist. Who the hell is Nicole Daedone? Why are. all these celebrities and self-help. gurus praising Nicole Daedone? And what. the hell even is OneTaste? >> My topic is female orgasm. >> There's a library near the water in San. Francisco. You can't get in because it's. a private residential property. The. bookshelves are probably filled with.

books. Perhaps Tim Ferriss's books make. an appearance, maybe it doesn't, who. cares? Nobody's paying attention to that. anyway. Why would you when there's a. naked woman in the room? It's kind of an odd environment. There's. chairs lined up, kind of like a personal. book signing at someone's house in a. home library, but instead of a podium, there is a massage table, and the. massage table is facing the small crowd. So, it's not sideways, horizontal, where. you can see the body being massaged. It's facing the crowd. [music].

And there, laying there, just full. butterfly legs spread open, is Nicole Daidone. Standing next to her. is a fully clothed man who looks a. little proud. Cuz I don't know. I feel. like anywhere else you could maybe. mistake this as a person getting a. regular massage. I mean, she's on the. massage table. There is no sheet to help. cover her, but she's laying there and. she looks relaxed. She looks like she's. about to have a good time. And. >> Fully nude? >> Fully nude. And he's looking like he's about to do a.

job well done. He says, "We're going to give you a show.". It's a show, but it's a real show. You. understand? Sometimes people say things. like, you know, we teach demos and we're. going to tone it down for you because. you can't take it. Well, that's [ __ ]. [ __ ]. And the show starts. >> How many people's in the room? >> A handful. Less than a dozen. And he leans over and. he just starts with his hands, manually, rubbing Nicole Daidone down there. And she's whimpering, smiling, crying,

moaning, giggling, just like a whole. wave of emotions that if you experience. in 5 minutes, you probably should talk. to a therapist about it. People say. Nicole is like an electrifying orb. Like. she is spreading this palpable energy, electricity through the entire library, into everybody else. It's like her legs. are spread open and there is this energy. shooting out of her privates into the. room. That's what they're saying. I wasn't in.

the room. >> Like she's very expressive? >> Yes, but it's not that. >> Oh. >> There's electricity coming out of her, honey. It's like spreading through the. room and you can feel it. Someone. hesitantly walks up to the massage table. because it's like they're mesmerized, they're entranced by this, >> [music]. >> and they caress Nicole's leg. She's. shaking in pleasure and it's almost like. she's a conduit for electricity because. his body starts to shake like he's. having a seizure. >> Oh, a guy went up to touch Nicole's leg.

and he starts shaking, too. >> He starts shaking. Another person from. the other side of the library blurts. out, "I feel a silvery sensation. sneaking down my arms. I feel a. vibration in the back of my legs.". >> Huh. >> And after about an hour of that, Nicole's hair is very messy and she is. smiling and the energy is thick and she. explains to everybody it's because they. just witnessed her own. >> [music]. >> a female ohm, a female orgasm. And that. is why she created her Silicon Valley.

company, [music]. OneTaste. It's all about feeding female hunger. Nicole says, "A modern Western woman has. this mantra that we feel deep in our. bones." It goes like this. >> I eat too much, I diet too much, I drink. too much, I shop too much, I give too. much, and still there's a sense of. hunger that I can't touch. >> The solution to female hunger is you. have to pay Nicole Daedone, take off. your pants, keep your shirt on, lay.

down, get into a butterfly position, your feet are touching, your knees are. spread open, and [music] you just have a. stroker, which is a fully dressed, typically a man. They [music] call them. strokers. They look like massage. therapists. They come over and for 15. minutes, they put a dollop of organic. coconut lube on one finger, and they manually start fondling you. It's not sexual, it's therapy, it's. meditation. Ohm is O M, orgasmic. meditation. [music].

It's like you go to a yoga studio and. instead of doing yoga, you lay there and. the male stroker, who's trained by. OneTaste, comes over for 15 minutes, performs an ohm on your privates. You. don't even know each other's names. You. don't get to know one another. You don't. go to dinner first. It's a clinical. service that is going to change your. life. That's it. I mean, this isn't entirely a. new concept. It's rumored that back in. the day women would go to their doctors. and get diagnosed with hysteria, which. back in the day that could mean anything. from you have a small headache to a.

full-on psychosis. But the old-school. doctors would just manually stimulate. the patients down there to help them. relax. Which of course then comes the. rumor that women would start going to. the doctor to complain of a headache. that doesn't exist because their. husbands at home couldn't get them off. So then that why not go to the guy in. the white coat that can do it for you. Yeah, it was a whole thing, okay? But. now in modern day, there really isn't. much holding American women in the. Western world, maybe like [music]. certain cultures and religions aside, there's nothing holding you back from. self-pleasure. But Nicole says it can be.

better. It always can be better. And. that is the gap that Nicole Daedone. wants to fill. This is the same woman who when she was. just a little kid, Nicole said that she. had this hunger. >> [music]. >> It was like this insatiable hunger. She's like five. And every time she would see a woman in. a mini skirt, she wanted to run up to. that woman and bite the flesh of the. woman's the back of the knees. Like that. soft flesh. She just wanted to bite it.

I don't know. She just has this crazy. itch. Every time she sees a woman in a. mini skirt, she just wants to pounce, bite the back of their knees. She tried. it once. Her aunt told her, "No, good. girls don't do that." And now Nicole. Daedone is giving TED Talks and lectures. about how females can ohm. Nicole says, "You can feel the stroke of the world. the whole world in a single stroke of. ohm. All the pleasure and the pain and. the joy and the sadness that are part of. our intimate lives and our relationships. and our lives in general, all of it can.

be felt in just one stroke." There was a. moment when I received a stroke that. could never be taken back. It was a. stroke where I knew that I had been. returned to my birthright of my capacity. to perceive and receive pleasure. >> She says that when you have a really. good ohm session, which you don't even. have to climax. You don't even have to. get the big ohm. You just have to sit. there for 15 minutes while a stroker. rubs you. It's just the laughter. It. just wells and wells inside of me and I.

became swollen with laughter. And then. like champagne pouring over the sides of. the bottle, tears began to flood me. My. body was rocking. It was the first time. I had experienced this sense of being so. entirely utterly uncorked. I was flooded. with freedom. [music]. >> So is it like a special type of massage. versus like self-pleasuring like. >> Yes, she says it's very specific. It's. not the same as self-pleasuring. So when. you are self-pleasuring as a woman, you.

are trying to reach the goal of the big. ohm. You're trying to reach the top of. the mountain, but it's about the. journey. And so when we as a society, we are so. focused on reaching this destination of. climaxing. But she says, you know what I. think a climax is? It's a crotch sneeze. That's all it is at the end of the day. It's not that important. It's just part. of the process. >> sneeze? >> Yes, it's just a blip in the radar, right? The true meaning is men, they are.

served all of these intimate things with. their partners. They find a partner that. they like and they are meant to be. served. Women, you never really learn. how to. feel down there. Everything is so laced. with shame. Everything is laced with I. have to reciprocate. Oh, if he does this. for me or if she does this for me, I. have to do it for her or him. But this, this is true meditation. You lay there for 15 minutes. Nobody.

expects anything in return. You don't. have to sit there and perform and and. oh, you're so good at this. You don't. have to scream and like pretend that. you've reached the destination when you. haven't reached the destination, and you. just get to experience. And it's almost. a meditative getting back in touch with. your feminine state. So many people want to hear Nicole. Daedone talk about OneTaste, her. company, and the practice of Ohm that. she's able to book out a 1,400-person. conference hall at the Regency Hotel in.

San Francisco where a lot of mid-size. tech companies hold summits and. conferences. Employees of OneTaste are walking around. with t-shirts that read, "Powered by. orgasm." Just walking around. They're. forming lines outside the conference. hall. Ladies, please find your nest. Everybody find your nest. Gentlemen, walk up to the stage. Please wash your. hands and find your supplies. The. supplies are a pair of latex gloves, a. small glass container of organic coconut. lubricant because we're not filthy. animals, of course it's organic. Then.

women are guided to their nests. Nest is. where you Ohm. It's a yoga mat, typically, covered with a blanket, a. 100% cotton blanket. [music] The woman. is to lay on her back. >> Wait, this is the conference? >> Yes. >> 1,400 people conference? >> Yes. >> Oh, wow. >> Mhm. And she is to un-clothe from the. bottom downward. Keep your shirt on, it. gets chilly. Then she is about to. experience an Ohm for the very first. time in her life, or maybe it's the. 100th time. It's going to be 1,400. people who paid anywhere between $200 to.

$400 for this three-day summit, and. they're all going to be Ohm-ing. together. Everyone received a red card. If you ever feel uncomfortable, hold it. up like a little referee, and we'll. stop. But nobody does. >> There's 1,400 people, so is that 700. women? >> Pairs. >> So 700 pairs? >> Yes, but a lot of men paid to get in, too. >> Right, but are people coming in as a. couple to do it together? >> No. There's actually one journalist who went. in, >> Mhm.

>> and she was writing for the now defunct. website Gawker, but she went into the. conference to write about Nicole Daedone. and OneTaste. She was a journalist. And they were just like, "You want to. try an ohm?". And so she was like, "I don't That's not what I'm here for.". And then she tried an ohm. >> From a stranger? >> Yeah. >> Huh. >> You [snorts] know, it's a 3-day. conference. They have other things. It's. not just 3 days of circle jerking. >> How does she describe the experience or. what's her takeaway? >> Oh, yeah. We're going to get into it. Yeah. >> But it's the 3-day conference, lots of.

speakers, Naomi Wolf, Dr. Sara. Gottfried, Robbie Richmond, he's the. former culture strategist at Zappos. I think they're the ones that do the. shoes, right? They're all going to be. there to speak. Brian Friedman, the. producer of A&E show Intervention. I. mean, the promotional website for the. conference reads, "The ohm conference is. a gathering of like-minded people who. are passionate about exploring the power. of female orgasm and everything that. goes with it. Some people do yoga, some. people meditate. We ohm, and so can you.

The regular ticket price for this event. is $795, but you can purchase your. ticket today and you pay only $395. That's a 50% discount. Take advantage of. the special offer today. [music]. The ticket price will be increasing. soon. Buy now." To be honest, it is. crazy to think that most people don't. purchase this ticket with the hopes of. ohming. And there's going to be this. whole delicate dance around it because. like, "What do you mean you're just. going to ohm in public?" And people are. around you and there's like another. woman just a an arm's throw away. And. these are people that you just met.

You're going to find an ohm partner in a. sea of strangers? OneTaste staffers are reassuring. everyone though. "It's not unusual to. get stroked by somebody you've only just. met because it's not sexual, it's. clinical. You might even get stroked by. someone and then realize, 'I'm so sorry. What was your name again?'". But all of this is helping and we have. things like safe porting. So, the. strokers, a lot of them have been. trained or a lot of them have come to. this conference and they learned how to. the stroke, and they will always get.

consent beforehand, obviously. But. throughout the process, the person. getting stroked, all women, are the ones. leading. No men are allowed to get. stroked because it's a female practice. And. >> [music]. >> you know, if they say they don't like. something, the stroker must immediately. fix it. Also, the stroker is not allowed. to complain or say, "Oh." They can only. say, "Thank you for letting me know.". And if the stroker is going to change. positions or place another hand on the. thigh, or to start going faster, they're. going to announce it out loud to the. woman, such as, "I am going to give you. some grounding pressure now. You will.

feel my hand on your thigh." You're also. heavily encouraged to speak out what you. feel during the Ohm sessions, even if. you're just witnessing it. So, it has to. be in neutral terms, though. So, the. stroker will say things like, "The color. is very coral." You don't say pretty. You don't say wrinkly. You say neutral terms because everything. about this is neutral. It's not laced. with, "Oh, well, it could be prettier, or it could look like this." It's. supposed to be just clinical.

>> This sounds like a really weird role. playing that they're doing. >> Like, just because you say it's. clinical, >> Yeah. >> does that mean these guys they're. working as a healthcare worker? Like, that's kind of off. >> It's very confusing, and like you can. see, it's very ripe with the ability of. abuse, these types of environments. And. one person just says, "Watching these. demonstrations, I mean, it felt like my. body was getting sunburnt. And there was. this soft just arrow that was stopping. my breath." Other people who have.

witnessed watching other people get. Ohm'd say, "There was a moment where I. felt like my body was a shell. It was. hollow, and I felt this white substance. filling up from inside of me and. inflating my chest up, and it blew me up. like I was the Michelin Man." The. three-day conference turns out to be a. massive success. Even the Gawker. journalist who got roped into doing an. Ohm, she says oddly it was thrilling. Like it was thrilling, she could see the. appeal. And when she got home, there was.

almost like. this feeling of being done from a drug. binge because there was so much. excitement and it was so everybody was. turned on and there was this energy and. she tried to talk to her friends about. it and nobody got it. They were all. like, is this a cult? Like you're weird. Why did you do that? And so now she just. felt so empty, like she was hungover. from like the three-day party of her. life and she didn't know how to even. operate afterwards. >> How long was like that one session that. she did or all of them?

>> 15 minutes. >> But the whole thing only lasted 15. minutes? >> have multiple sessions of 15 minutes. Sometimes during the Ohm conferences, they'll do 15 minutes and then they'll. just partner swap. I don't know why, okay, but they'll just partner swap and. then there's just a new stranger and. you're doing another 15 minutes. >> Huh. >> One woman says, just the idea of like. dropping my pants in in front of a. stranger, you know I actually almost. left. But then at the last minute I. basically was like, [ __ ] it, you know, I'm here, I'm going to do the thing. And.

once she did it, she said, I was like, that was amazing. Like that was. incredible, terrifying and incredible. And then all I knew is like I want to do. this again. Another person says, after. my first Ohm, I felt baffled, confused. It didn't really feel like. self-pressuring or anything I'd ever. experienced before. It didn't even feel. like. it was just something new. I wanted to. scoff at it. I wanted to brush it off. and explain it away, but I had to admit. that something unexplainable was going. on, something great and unexpected.

During the group sessions, one former. participant says, it was just crazy to. hear how many different sounds that the. women around me were making. It just. felt incredible. I just felt really good. about myself in a way that I never had. before. Others say that they skipped. doing the Ohm with a stranger and just. had an Ohm with their long-term partner. And one woman says, "At [music] first, I. would always rather have been Like, I'd. rather have an intimate relation or do. something for him that would make him. feel good, so that he would like me. more. And it was very challenging for me. to just lie back and feel. I had this.

fear that when we were ohming, he would. realize he didn't love me, but the. opposite happened. I've never been able. to trust a relationship this much in my. life, because now I don't have to guess. how he's feeling. I can feel how he is. feeling." One staff member told a. participant, "I watched you ohm, and you. sounded like an orchid blooming for the. first time in 150 years.". Another person says, "Listen, it's not. even that intimate, okay?" She says, "During and immediately after the ohm, I.

had a sense of energetic movement in my. limbs and the core of my body. I felt. more relaxed, more alert at the same. time, more clear-headed, cleared my. brain fog, gave me energy. It's better. than coffee." Another says, "I would. rather stay in a cave and ohm for a week. than go on an all-expenses-paid trip to. Paris. I just kept wanting to do it. again and again and again and again and. again." One woman burst into tears at. the end of the ohm session, and Nicole. Daedone walks up to them. "Why are you. upset?". >> [music]. >> "Because I don't want this to end.".

>> These um strokers, are they doing like a. Do they have different trainings or. >> So, some of the strokers have different. trainings. The employees of One Taste, they paid up to $100,000 themselves to. learn coaching classes to how to become. master stroker. That is the top-level. strokers, a master stroker, and they. work for One Taste. And then at these. seminars, most of the people that are.

doing the stroking, they're just people. that paid $200, $400 to come to this. 3-day conference, and they just spent. the past 24 hours learning how to. stroke. And now they're performing their. first stroke on a a. >> Fascinating. Okay. >> Yeah. Joanna Van Vleck is a very. successful businesswoman. She started. the Trunk Club where you get your own. personal stylist to send you clothes via. a trunk every month. Her company sold to. Nordstrom for $350 million. and she is now here at the OneTaste. conference. Van Vleck says about OneTaste and Oming,

"At first I was like, uh, this is gross. I was ultimately scared. It's. vulnerable. Sometimes I still lay down. to Om and I'm like, what the is this? If. there weren't such incredible benefits, I would not lay down and have a man. stroke my genitals. I just wouldn't. But. Om is fuel. We call it, you know, tired. and wired. Most women are tired and. wired and Om is the exact opposite of. that. It's like eating breakfast. That's. what we eventually hope. Instead of a.

latte, women will have an Om because. that is what regulates your body. An Om. for breakfast, you know? OneTaste is the. Whole Foods for ality. The organic, good-for-you version. The overarching. thing, Om, is just part of the. wellness.". Everybody starts clapping. Next on stage. enter another big name in the business. world, Robbie Richmond. He was the. former Zappos culture strategist, very. successful. He's a very well-known guy. Tony Robbins was amongst his client.

list. Anyway, he gets up on the stage. and he says that OneTaste. told him, >> [music]. >> "You need to get your beast out of you. We got to get the beast out." And. everyone starts clapping like, "Yeah, get the beast out of you." And in order. to do that, they told me, "You got to. turn the heat up." People are clapping, "Yeah, you got to turn THE HEAT UP. THAT'S HOW you get the beast out.". I was in therapy for 6 years for. anxiety. And he says, "Nobody ever suggested to. me that maybe you're just turned on.".

Everybody's clapping, the crowd's going. crazy, they're screaming and cheering. like, "Yeah, you're just turned on." He. says at one taste, they helped him more. than 6 years of therapy did. Quote, "It. wasn't just intimate relations, okay? It. wasn't just that. It was. I went into the room with this girl and. I had this desire to just rip her limbs. off.". >> What's happening right now? >> Suddenly, the cheers stop. It was. interesting because I felt it all, she.

felt it, too. You know? And the interesting thing was I was. barely touching her. Ooh. That Everyone is like, "Okay, what?" He continues, "It was this. feeling like religion. And as a person who studies culture like. me, you know, that's one of the highest. echelons to A religion involves the full. body, the full spirit experience, and. it's got its articles of faith, the. principles of ohm that blow my mind, principles that apply to life, not just. orgasmic meditation. And this lifestyle. was starting to see it resembles a.

monastery, except rather than. deprivation, it's. acceptance. It's desire, pleasure, freedom, it it's connection.". The cult-like rhetoric right after. dismemberment fantasies was very hard to. digest for the crowd. I will say there. were multiple awkward moments during the. 3-day conference where everyone is like, "Ooh, um. maybe this is not what I signed up for.". >> Was this recorded or. >> There's lots of archived articles about.

this as well as some small recordings. But not much. >> So, what is he doing there? He He's not. He's a stroker? >> Yes, he's a firm believer of One Taste. A lot of huge. >> does that help him, though? He's. >> Oh, yeah. What's in it for the men? We're going to get into that. There's a. whole what's in it for men, just you. wait, okay? Now, One Taste marketing is. focused on being tight, pun intended. Tight around the edges. It's about. marketing ohm to be as friendly for the.

masses as possible. So, dismemberment. fantasies, that's not as marketable, okay? OneTaste has all the markings of a. cult. They even have communal living. buildings where a lot of OneTaste. members and employees will live. together. Nicole used to live there. A. lot of OneTaste members still live. there. They call it the warehouse. That's where they eat, breathe, sleep. OneTaste. So, they usher him off the. stage and they continue with more. speeches and it just feels like a minus. the dismemberment talk a legitimate tech. conference for a startup. Later when.

asked about the cult allegations, Nicole. Daedone responds, "If I were a person. out there and I heard about a group of. people who were living together and were. doing this practice where they were. stroking privates, I would probably. think the same thing because I wouldn't. have any context to understand because. there is no context for connection in. our culture. There's no context for any. kind of female pleasure. There's no kind. of context for sexuality within a. rigorous practice. These things as far. as I know have never really been.

explored skillfully. Anytime it's been. explored, it's just been sort of on the. fringe and that's one of the reasons why. I absolutely wanted to bring it to the. mainstream. One of the reasons why I. want to bring it there is so that we. have checks and balances. Really the. model is Wikipedia where everybody gets. access and everyone puts their part in. Not literally. She says, "The whole. arena of female pleasure is so dark and. weird and scary and it needs to just be. out. It needs to be out in the open.".

>> Cult leader corrupted by money and. power. I just want to say that's. patently not true. >> Nicole Daedone is a very interesting. kind of woman. I mean, I will say that. she is a pretty charismatic speaker. More so back during the prime of. OneTaste. That has nothing to do with. youth or looks. Just like the prime of. her career. She writes in her book Slow. Sex. When I first tell people I make my. living at teaching the art of slow. intimate times, I get to watch an entire. weather system cross their face in a.

matter of about 5 seconds. First, I see. surprise, then curiosity, then. embarrassment about their curiosity, then fear that I can see their. embarrassment, and then finally, courage. to proceed. You know, I teach a practice. called Ohm, I tell them. It's a way that. any man can bring out the big Ohm in any. woman in just 15 minutes. Nicole says, "I teach people that Ohm is really no. different than when my Uncle Bob. taught me one summer afternoon.

when I was 12 years old. >> You're kidding me. >> Of how to really taste a tomato. Nicole. says she grew up in California. Her. uncle becomes a wannabe tomato farmer, and the first basket of heirloom. tomatoes he shows up at her house and is. like, "Hey, sister." Nicole's mom, "You. got to try my tomato." And Nicole's mom. is complaining, "Jesus, Bob, they look. deformed. Are we really supposed to eat. that?" Cuz heirloom tomatoes, they're. like all the rage now, they weren't back. then. Uncle Bob takes a big juicy lumpy. heirloom tomato with a wart and all out.

of the basket, bites into it like an. apple, and there's just tomato juice. dripping down his chin into his beard, and then he pushes a fresh heirloom. tomato at Nicole's mom. Nicole's mom is. like, "Absolutely not." He gives it to. Nicole, who hesitantly, curiously, cautiously, nervously takes a bite of. this tomato, and she describes it like. any 12-year-old would describe their. first experience on ketamine. She says, "Rich, [music] earthy, dense.". Words a 12-year-old has never spoken. The taste of minerals, where previous.

tomatoes had been porous, spongy, common. This tomato was pure saturation. It was as if the tomato itself had a. built-in speed limit. [music]. It was not possible to eat it quickly. and forget about it. This tomato took. command. There was no mistaking it. This. was a tomato. >> She wrote that in her book or. >> Yeah. My uncle asked me what I tasted. I. couldn't speak and I didn't want to. break the spell. What do you taste? He.

prodded as if he were a blind man asking. me what I saw. I wanted to sound very. smart to impress him. A difficult task. when what you're describing is a tomato. It [music] tastes warm and a little. sour. It's kind of like when you lick a penny. and it tastes like metal and you feel a. sort of a jolt. But at the end it makes your mouth. water. It's sweet but not candy sweet. >> [music]. >> Sweet the way skin smells. Soft. Said no. 12-year-old ever, okay? But she says her.

uncle was proud of her and put his hands. on her shoulders and gave her sage life. advice that she will always abide by. Nicole, the most important thing you. will ever do in this life. is really really to taste a tomato. Eventually, Nicole grows up. She's in. her 20s. She's living her dream life but. she feels horribly empty on the inside. When a friend approaches her with. exciting news, she is going to take a. course on intimate relations. Nicole. says, I was momentarily scandalized.

That was something good girls like me. didn't talk about. But then I was. curious, then embarrassed at my. curiosity, then a little bit afraid, then a little bit courageous and I. signed up for the class with her and. that was the beginning of the rest of my. life. Quote, if Uncle Bob had been. there, he would have been smiling. Nicole says it takes a lot of time to. get into the practice of ohm. You know, you can be not good at being an ohm. Like you can lay there and you're not. doing anything but you can still suck at. it. She says, we women may be tempted to.

default to old habits of augmenting our. experience, reassuring the stroker that. he's doing well, by turning up the. volume, breathing, moaning, moving in. ways that may not be entirely genuine. because you're trying to make them feel. better about themselves. But of course, this all takes practice. Nobody gets. their first Ohm right. Many women. actually report that they prefer not to. reach the big Ohm during the Ohm because. they've come to enjoy just the massage. It It actually increases their sexual.

energy. Whereas, traditional intimate. relations with a man is all about, you. know, getting rid of this excess energy. Get You know, you feel pent up, you. release the energy. But, Ohm is the way. that we can build up the energy within. ourselves. And people always say, "You. mean I can actually use Ohm to generate. energy? I can actually use it to. increase my capacity?" The answer is a. big enthusiastic yes. Ohm gives us the. opportunity to refill our tank.

>> So far, it sounds like a lot of things. she said is, well, you're encouraging. women to. >> Yeah. >> Right. >> And I think she's about, you know, at. least on surface level, her messages. seem on par with female empowerment. She. says things like, "The real question. isn't whether women should have power, but what is power? And how does it. express itself through the feminine?". That is not a question society has ever. been eager to explore. For centuries, feminine power has been misunderstood,

feared, suppressed. Nowhere is this. clearer than in the way that we treat. women's sexuality. Feminine sexuality. has been framed as unruly, dangerous, chaotic, a force to control, manage, and. hide, and fill with shame. And all of. this is why we need to Ohm. So, this is. how it goes. A stroker applies grounding. pressure on the woman's legs while. maintaining eye contact with the woman's. down there. The stroker then narrates. what he is seeing in neutral terms. A.

lot of women report that they started. crying once their stroker started. narrating how their down there privates. look in neutral terms because they've. only heard it in very sexualized terms. >> Hmm, interesting. >> So, they've only. >> it in very objectifying terms or in. terms of like, well, it could look. better so that it could be better for. other people to enjoy. Versus just like, "Hey, your thing is kind of slanted to. the left." And they will say that, and. sometimes they cry.

Because it's a very crazy revelation. This is not a compliment, nor is it a. judgement. It is just a factual. observation. And then a thumb and index. finger get placed on very important. spots, and the pressure is as strong as. the weight of two pieces of paper. A. >> [music]. >> almost like a tickling sensation. Then. there's a 13-minute timer, and the final. 2 minutes are spent grounding, slowing. down so that they can come back down. from the high of the experience. 15. minutes is important because a lot of.

women have reported initially when they. first start oming, anything longer than. 15 minutes makes their head very cloudy. They don't get mental clarity. They get. very confused. And I will say there's a whole silliness. to this whole thing because you're doing. some of the most intimate acts with a. complete stranger in a conference hall. filled with more strangers with the goal. of it being more clear-minded, promoting. longevity and mental health, and there. is a huge stress placed on the fact that. you need to have 100% organic cotton. blankets, as well as fully organic. coconut substances to rub. So, like how.

is this feminine power empowerment. interrelated? So, first of all, getting. to know the female body is very. important. Getting to know your own body. and to be serviced without the need of. servicing others in return, she says, is. very important. But also, on top of. that, she thinks women need to be horn. dogs. >> Okay. >> So, like basically, the underlying. message after I have read, I want to say. at this point I've read four Nicole. Daedone books that she published, that.

she wrote. I've watched. like over. I want to say like 30 hours of footage. They have a whole YouTube channel with. podcasts where they just yap to each. other. She has multiple different. conferences that were filmed. I have. watched almost every Well, no, cuz she's. at MDC Brooklyn in prison right now, but. she was She was doing this for a very, very long time. And I had to consume all of that, and I. will say this is the underlying message.

is women need to be horn dogs. They need. to be turned on, and they need to be. horned up. And she says, "That's how you. get things that you want in life, because that is your greatest power as a. woman. That is your greatest energy is. to have turned on energy. And men will. just bend over backwards and do whatever. you want if you have turned on energy. This is your only power as a woman, really. So, you need to harness that. power and stock up on that power. It's. like you're battering up when you're.

oming. You're charging yourself with. this power." She says, "My challenge as. a woman is that fundamentally any. expression of appetite is shameless. I'm. supposed to be small physically. I'm. supposed to be small in expression. I'm. supposed to be demure. If I have too big. of an appetite, then I'm I don't know, money hungry or gold digger. Although, you know, those things aren't the more. challenging desires that women have, or. I'm greedy, or I'm all the things that. we think women are who have any kind of. appetite that makes us go to the other. side and pretend that we're demure and. we have no appetite. So, as a woman,

when desire arises in me, the shame. silences me. As a man, when desire. arises in you, it gives you a lot of. gusto. So, we need to do that." However, however, the biggest clientele for One Taste. seems for the longest time to not be. women, but to be men. >> I wonder why. >> Exactly. And it's very hard to cater to. a male clientele in a place like San. Francisco when all you do is say, "Hey,

women are better than men." It's very. hard to have men walk in and pay you. money. It's very small niche group of. men who still will do that. So, Nicole. then starts catering to her male. demographic. >> Wait, so she literally started a company. to do these sessions, group sessions. >> Mhm. >> That's it. That's That's her whole. startup business. >> Yes. Then she headed into the wellness. space with podcasts, books, you know, coaching sessions.

>> Okay. >> Yeah, she became one of those online. course gurus. >> So, like a a lot of like tech founders, tech people? >> Yeah, a lot of tech guys would go. because um when you're in San Francisco, you're in SF and you have a bunch of. software engineers who are probably very. intelligent, more intelligent than I. will ever be, maybe, maybe not. I'm just. kidding. I shouldn't put myself down with these. guys, okay? But, they have not. touched a woman cuz they spent a greater. part of their lives studying.

>> Right, right, right. So, there is appeal. for. >> Yes. >> certain demographics. >> So, they'll all show up and that leads. to a very big problem in OneTaste, which. is how do you get women? >> Right. >> you get women for these paying men to. stroke? And that is. partly the reason she is in prison right. now. >> When I'm hearing this, right, it sounds. like, "Yeah, I can see how some woman. does want to solve these problems." So, it makes sense. But, then when you say. all the guys are joining, I guess.

reality is that. >> Yeah. >> you can say whatever the hell you want. to say, people just going to come in with their. own. >> I know what you're trying to say because. everyone has been thinking it. People are going to come in just trying. to see a vagina, basically. We could say. all these things and make it pretty, but. ultimately the main clientele are just. dudes who want to see a body part. >> Yeah. The question is most women, are. they here for the reason of what she's. promoting. >> From what I can tell after all of like.

the rabbit holes that we've gone down. from OneTaste, if I had to break up. their clientele and who's joining. OneTaste, is you have a group of large. group of guys. Older, younger, doesn't matter. All. probably from the tech space primarily. in SF, and they don't know how to talk. to girls. They've never. really known how to make a girl feel. pleasurable. They don't know anything. So, they go here almost rather than like. a pickup lesson. They go to this course.

And then you have some older guys who. genuinely think that it's a great. meditative practice. Or you sometimes. have like a huge group where couples, but they don't really stay in the. OneTaste sphere for long. They come. trying to spice up their marriage, they. learn the techniques, they do like a. one-day course, and then they go home, and then they apply it to their home. life. >> Right. >> And then you have a group of young. women. A lot of these young women seem. to come from a little bit more. vulnerable backgrounds. A lot of them. have been essayed, and they don't know.

how to feel comfortable with their. bodies. And Nicole convinces them that. she is the path and the light. And these. young women end up becoming the biggest. commodity of OneTaste. >> Right. That's what I feel like they are. being taken advantage of. >> And then you have older wealthy women. who are just I don't want to say like. the men, but they kind of fit in that. sphere of they give OneTaste a lot of. money, and they also want very young. attractive male strokers.

And they're here for the pleasures of. OneTaste. >> And she probably knows all of these. >> She knows everything. >> So, she's playing five different games. with different people. >> Yes. And she knows exactly how to talk. to whoever she's talking to. >> Now, in terms of the the payment that. like these tech guys or whatever, is it. all the same amount that she charges? Is. it monthly or. >> Okay, so it's $10 for a one-night like. get-to-know-each-other session and you. don't own.

You It's like a $10 mixer. There's. cocktails, there's fun. It's like a. community event. You know, that a lot of. people will go to and this is so. manipulative. I'm going to go into it. more later, but they have something. called the hot seat and these are people. again that. this this clientele that they're. attracting, a lot of people that are. coming to this mixer, they're not. typically, and I say this with love. because I'm not a very popular person. either. I don't have a ton of friends, they're not popular people. So they sit.

down in this chair and all the OneTaste. employees put their attention on one. person for like 30 minutes. And this one person feels a high because. usually when they try to talk to their. co-workers, they try to talk to people, everyone gets distracted halfway, they're looking at their phones. They're. just maybe not the most entertaining. people, but for 30 minutes they had 10. people just captivated by them and in. the very back there's a salesperson. taking notes down of every single. person's biggest insecurities. They'll ask you during the hot seat. They'll ask you, "What do you want?" And.

then you'll say, "I want to be. successful in life." "What do you want?". They keep asking [music] you, "What do. you want?" over and over and over again. until it boils down to your biggest. insecurity and your biggest desire in. life and that salesperson in the back is. typing it all down in a laptop. Then you. leave after paying $10. You leave. Then. they call you. And they say, "Hey, didn't you have so. much fun last night? Well, why don't you. come back for a one-day course? Instead. of $10, it's $200 and you can spend like. 8 hours with us.".

It's like, "Okay, $200 is not that bad.". They go, [music] pay $200, they learn. how to stroke or they get stroked, they. do OM sessions and they have such a high. because this is so exhilarating. Anything taboo is going to feel very. exhilarating. It's going to feel like. drugs because it's against societal. norms. You don't just like go to a yoga. studio and see a bunch of naked people. and like touch a stranger. >> Yeah. By the way, the hussy is is do. they force you. >> Oh, so they they're looking in the room.

They're like, I want to target that new. client. Bring. >> Who looks like they have money. >> Oh, it's always a wealthy person. >> Yes, or someone who has like a pretty. cushiony tech salary. Cuz you can tell. It's like when you are. in a class and it's like, "Hey, what do. you do?" I work here versus I work at. Meta and I'm a product manager. It's. like, "Okay, maybe this person has a. cushier salary.". >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, okay. So, they're. converting these people. I see.

>> So, then you have a $200 day pass, day. course, where you learn how to stroke. And you're so like exhilarated from this. experience. And before you can leave, you get signed up for a $3,000 weekend. course. And then you've already invested. $3,000 in the weekend. It's so. exhilarating. Then you sign up for a. $16,000 week-long course. >> What? >> Then you sign up for the master coaching. program that's $60,000. >> $60,000? >> There are victims who are like $100,000. in debt. >> In debt?

>> And they are considered employees of One. Taste. But they they don't learn how to. be an employee of One Taste for free. They're in debt. >> That's why they call it a cult. >> Yeah. >> Wow. >> And she starts catering to the men as. well. And she'll she'll meet in the. middle. She'll say things like, "Women. are trained to see men as projects to. fix men, right? We're taught that men. are dumb and fundamentally these. fumbling, bumbling guys, and they need. us to fix them." But what ends up. happening is then all of a sudden you.

hear these women who say, "I feel like. I'm a mother. I'm mothering him." And. then they lose their turn on. They lose. their turn on. And this is like a a. noun. They lose their turn on. And so, we begin to worry about guys oh he's not. feeling good and all these things and. they're usually just projections onto. them rather than lighting up the kind of. turned on masculine power that they. need. She's got these very weird takes that. she'll do during these one-day seminars. This is how she ropes in the masses. because when you go in too strong too. fast, it's a lot. So she'll slowly lead.

the men in. You know, I meet so many. fantastic women women who are smart and. sexy and witty and charming and women. with charisma and who work a 10-hour day. and then throw a dinner party for eight. without as much as a nap. I mean women. it seems who can do anything except find. and keep their man. They watch the man. that they desire fall desperately in. love with women who aren't as smart who. aren't as sexy who wouldn't know the. first thing about choosing the right. wine to go with the chicken. Women who.

have accomplished nothing at all with. their lives. Why her? And when the men come up here and they. start talking about their feelings and. women ask this question, they're. momentarily stunned by the men's. response. It's simple. The guys point out the woman they go for. is the one who is nicest to them. So she starts encouraging all the women. in the class to be nice to men. Start with one moment of genuine. appreciation and feel your way from. there. She says, you know, at the end of.

the day men if you're listening to this, women only want one thing. which is quote. >> I don't know. >> competence. No, I'm just kidding. It all. comes down to one sweet request. Be more you. That's it. >> That's crazy. >> Show yourself to us. It's all we've ever. wanted. So no woman ever. >> is like straight-up tailoring to the. guys. >> Yeah, cuz every sane-minded woman. listening is like that's actually like. on the bottom of the list. Okay, we just. want you to know how to do one thing one.

chore around the house. Do the dishes. Do the laundry. Don't leave your socks. outside. I don't know. Women were like, I will say the comments were crazy on. this one. >> What do you mean comments are crazy? >> This is like after she goes to jail. though. A lot of people are like, yeah, okay, well, that's actually insane. Tell. that to the prisoners at MDC. Yeah. >> [laughter]. >> It's just kind of not what a lot of. women want. It's a little pick-me. energy. I don't know how to describe it. It is what women want. Yes, I want my. husband to be more him, but I also like. want the world to be better too. Like.

there it's just it's not that easy. And. a lot of people have a hard time. wondering why going to One Taste. seminars. This is why. Also, some men. say they were never in relationships and. they don't know how to talk to women and. so Nicole will guide them through it. She'll say things like, "Tell her that. tonight you will use her body like a. magnet. Every part of her body is going. to come alive." One former male member. says, "One of the exciting things about. the organization was, you know, compared. to men teaching other men how to relate.

to women, you got it straight from a. woman's mouth.". Nicole would break down the dynamics of. relationships. The man dilemma, what. happens for men? They get all these. ideas in their head about how to get. access, get access. So first of all, the. idea is you're entering the conversation. with a separate sense of self. I don't. know what she's talking about. The most. powerful thing you can do is get in. rapport with another human being. That's. what OM's is. You're syncing up nervous. systems on a biological level. When you. sync up nervous systems, these magical.

doors open and you won't know until you. have the experience and then you will. know. There's all these programs that are put. into men about how to get a woman. First. of all, tends to be precisely what. blocks you. You may get the body, but. you won't get the woman. You won't get. the goods from that. She says, "Look, women want to have. intimate times as much as men. Just not. what's on the menu. She likes what's on. the menu, which is regular. intimate times. She's just not hungry. for steak every day. Women crave variety.

and surprise and spontaneity. We want a. seasonal menu, a specialty menu. We want. items that arouse and nourish and. satisfy every part of us. It's basically. that Tik Tok about wanting omakase. Okay, that's what she's saying. Women. have as much intimate energy as men. It. just freezes more easily. You know, women have less of It's because we get. frozen from body image. We have we we're. turned on. We're just frozen from body. image, previous relationships, something. her dad said to her when she was 11. And.

by the time that you meet her in her. life, she may be so iced over that only. a trickle of that desire is getting its. way through the ice. Without [ __ ] ice. Without regular access to the warm heat. of a big om, the freeze gets deeper and. deeper until she has no more access to. get her desire at all. But really, a lot of the testimonials. from men that have joined One Taste, it's all about the finger. One person. says, quote, "I was really surprised to. discover how much energy I could feel. coming through my finger. I hadn't.

really believed it was possible.". Some just say it helped their. relationship. Quote, "Since we've been. practicing om, my girlfriend is so much. more turned on. I cannot believe how. different it is to have intimate. relations with a woman who is truly, fully turned on all the time.". And it just feels like Nicole is playing. both sides. She tells women it's all. about them while she caters heavily. towards the men. And if Nicole is. anything, she is a walking. contradiction. And maybe that's her. appeal. Before Nicole becomes an om. coach, she was ready to become a.

Buddhist monk. Nicole was ready to join. the Zen monastery in San Francisco. The. only thing that she said that she would. miss doing is doing it. I'm not kidding. So like any normal aspiring Buddhist a. monk, she does the same [music] thing. She decides, "I'm going to go out on a. one-week binge. I am going to go to the. craziest parties in all of SF, and I'm. going to just like do everything and do. everyone, and then I'll never do it. again. I'm going to be a monk, okay? She's going to do it all. It's at one of.

those parties where she's looking to do. things that she runs into this guy named. Erwan. And he's at [music] this party, so. naturally within a few minutes Nicole. tells Erwan her dilemma. She wants to be. a Buddhist monk. She thinks that life. will be really good for her, >> [music]. >> but she's also kind of like horned up. all the time, you know? And he smirks. and he tells her, "I would like to. introduce you to a practice that I've. been doing.". He introduces her to a practice that. will soon become One Taste signature, the Ohm, but back then they called. [music] it the D O, the deliberate O.

So, after her first taste of a D O, where it's basically the same thing as. an Ohm, Nicole ditches the whole. Buddhist monk life and makes Ohm her. entire personality, her entire life's. work, until she ends up at MDC Brooklyn. in the same prison that Diddy was in, the same prison that Luigi Mangione is. in, and the same prison that Ghislaine. Maxwell was in. >> [music].

Nobody's a victim, Nicole says in a training session. So, I. have a story and I am no victim. The. problem with the victim story is it. takes away your power. You know, I was.

talking to one of these women and I did. a women's group and they were like, oh, I I'm so scared to turn on because of. all of these terrible men who are going. to R word me. And I said, if you want to. know the real way to deflect R wording, >> it's to turn on 100%. Because then there's nothing to rape. >> Not only that, but with my experience is. that a woman turned on 100%. >> has every single man around her bowing. >> You know how we have those powered by. orgasm t-shirts? This is going to be our.

new t-shirt. I got R worded and all I. got was a victim story. I know. >> I got R worded and all I got is victim. story. >> And she's like smiling into the crowd. She's like, I know people are shocked. They're gasping in the crowd and she's. like, I know this is crazy. Or it could. be like, I R worded someone and all I. got was a perpetrator story. >> You picture a. What are those? Stick in a river and it just keeps. pummeling up against something because.

it doesn't have a natural way to flow. That's really the experience of what we. call perpetrator. My experience is that. it is a pure love. >> So, she doesn't believe in rape. >> No, she believes it happens, but she. thinks it's psychologically deeper than. that. Like the fact that men R word, she. doesn't think it's just like these men. need to be locked up and like snip snip. She thinks that it's also kind of a. woman's fault that men are out here are. wording people. She's also saying through the power of.

Om, her meditative practice, and paying. for her courses, of course, you can. protect yourself against are wording. Not because people are going to stop are. wording, but because there is nothing. left to are word, so how can they are. word you? I will say that there are still very. wealthy people connected to OneTaste and. the original group, even though they. seem to keep changing their names. They. also seem quite litigious, which I've. never been opposed to a little legal. scuffle, especially the idea of seeing a. ton of the people that we talk about in. a deposition. I think that would bring. me a great sense of adrenaline and.

excitement, and it would just make my. week and year. But just so that we could. be extra cautious, I do have to note. that these are just allegations moving. forward. Nicole Daedone is rotting, sorry, sitting at MDC Brooklyn, but she. hasn't been charged of these crimes. outright. She has been convicted of. forced labor conspiracy, which does. include sexual labor for the defendant's. benefit, as well as coercion of. performing sexual acts, but it doesn't. outright include essay. >> Wait, so again, what what is she charged. for again, you said?

>> Forced labor conspiracy. Which means. that you're running a company and you're. coercing your employees to perform. sexual acts. You are having sexual labor. for your benefit as the employer. However, she has not been convicted. outright of facilitating essay or just. essay in general. >> Mhm. Does she have a case pending or. >> No. >> Oh, so this is it? >> Yeah, this is it. So these are just. legally speaking, just allegations as of. right now. Though I don't personally. think a lot of netizens question any of.

the victims' stories. In fact, a lot of. people wish that she was charged with. trafficking instead. But this is, I. think, just like the ways that the laws. are set up. So with that in mind, let's talk about. the darker side of OneTaste. Have you. ever heard of aversion therapy? I feel like there's so many different. therapies. There's exposure therapy, there's now aversion therapy, and it. goes something like this. A guy named. Mark from OneTaste is really, really. freaking upset. He feels like he's a. victim of. I mean, honestly, he doesn't know how to. put it into words. Okay, we'll try,

Mark. Try to put it into words. Mark. tells everyone he's really upset because. two girls from OneTaste barged into his. room and offered themselves up to him. They were like, "Can we just do you?". And they both start going down on him. down there. Like, both of them at the. same time. And they're like, "Okay, so that's SA if. you didn't want it." And Mark is like, "Okay, but here's the thing, I did want. it. Like, at the time I loved it. It was. great. It was phenomenal.". Okay, so what's the problem? Okay, the. problem is, afterwards, I overheard the.

girls talking about how Mark was their. aversion therapy. The girls were told by. higher-ups at OneTaste to find the most. disgusting, filthiest, ugliest animal on. the planet and then have intimate. relations with him. Like, find the person where the idea of. that person, even the visual idea of. that person is going to make you want to. throw up, bend over, and vomit into a. toilet, go find them, and have intimate. relations with them. Aversion therapy at OneTaste is when you. do the most disgusting thing you can.

think of in an attempt to get off on it. Yeah, it's putting it simply, it's a lot. more twisted and complicated than that. OneTaste coaches is, "The amount of. aversion you have equals the amount of. desire that's there. Opposite sides of. the same coin.". >> What? >> The coaching program would say, "Our. preferences are just repetitive devices. that enslave us in eternal mediocrity, but we're usually too chicken [ __ ] to.

step into a different terrain.". Basically, why do you think you're so. turned off by something? Perhaps it's. because you're actually so turned on by. it, but mentally you don't want to. accept that idea that this is something. that you like. >> And I said, "What I learned as a woman. is that we have it backward. All have. all of these circumstances and then I'll. get turned on. And that really it's the. reverse. Whether or not you're turned on. build the circumstances and get turned. on in the process and then that's where.

you get total liberation.". >> One former member describes it like. this. And this is potentially going to. be a controversial statement, but in a. certain way for people who have closed. down, it's like you get that fixed one. way or another, right? So, if you. determine you don't want that fixed in. an explicit way. So, they're saying like. maybe you've convinced yourself or. society has convinced yourself that. watching X-rated videos is disgusting, it's vile, it's morally corrupt, right? Then you have a tendency to then go and. get it by sort of a mental fixation on.

it. So, you develop these strong super. strong anti-X-rated video fixation and. that becomes your life's work, your. protesting, your writing blog articles. on it. It gives you a way to engage with. this thing that you kind of really need. Basically, aversion is unpotentiated. turn on. [music] Explore it today. It's. described more bluntly by one member who. says basically it was quote, "A broad. term for energy by performing intimate. acts that you don't want to do or doing. them with people that you find.

disgusting." Like that was just aversion. therapy. There's nothing deep about it. Officially, they start referring to it. as unconditional sex. And OneTaste starts leaning heavily into. this. Higher up members of OneTaste. start giving out assignments to those. underneath them. So, this is like your. manager at work telling you you have a. new assignment. These assignments. typically revolve around doing. everything possible to get rid of your. aversion to certain things, acts, or. people. Just obliterating any sort of. personal boundary that you have. One.

former member was told to have as many. intimate relations with random people. that she found to be super disgusting. and ugly that she ultimately did not. want to have intimate relations with, but in 200 days they forced her to have. intimate relations with 200 different. men. And this was presented to OneTaste. members as a high achievement. She has. reached a new level of connection and. being turned on. It should be noted, I will say legally, that OneTaste claims that everybody was. into it, everybody consented, nobody was. forced into an assignment. Quote,

"Members who chose to explore their. aversions did so voluntarily and were. never pressured and incentivized. The. activities were always suggestions and. not instructions." If they declined, you know, many women told me they would. be shamed for having a, excuse my. language, golden [ __ ] So, this idea. that, um, they were shamed for being too. picky or being like, "Oh, you're you're. being really uptight, you're being. resistant." These are all terms that. were used to reinforce this idea that. like it was more expansive and more. enlightened if you could say yes to.

things that you didn't want. But they. would also have these seminars where. Nicole would get up there or another. higher-up at OneTaste would get up there. and they would just look so prim and. proper. Something we play with at. OneTaste is perhaps no means not right. now. So, the best thing I can tell you is. keep going and know that if she, the. woman of your interest, is still on your. mind even after she brutally rejected. you out of the blue and you can't.

believe it, she might still want you. >> So, Nicole is just coming up with these? >> Yeah, Nicole, like she'll wake up and. have a new idea and then all of a sudden. it becomes the new psychological method. to become more connected. Connected to. what? Each other? Within yourself? I. don't really know. I mean, at some point. she just sounds like she is my late. grandmother who had Alzheimer's. Like. the ramblings are just nonsensical. One former member says, "You would have.

situations where you would have to have. intimate relations with x amount of. people every week even if you didn't. want to.". Or some people were assigned to do a BJ. every day with a different person even. if they didn't want to. I mean basically. giving assignments and teaching members. that they should ignore their own. personal preferences and boundaries and. that if they can't, they can't even. trust their own boundaries. They're just. lying to themselves. You are lying to. yourself that you don't want to have. intimate relations with Mark. So if. you're constantly lying to yourself, who. are you going to trust? Well, you're.

going to have to trust Nicole. And this is what Nicole has to say. We. human beings have a universal tendency. to loathe what is in our best interest, always. And Nicole believes that. aversion therapy mixed with oming is the. cure to trauma created by SA. She's. like, "Basically, this is our message. Look around. Everyone has SA trauma. It. seems like every woman you meet is so. traumatized." Okay, why is that our. fault, right? But she's like, "Look at. all these women that you meet and guess.

what? They're still traumatized. They're. still miserable. They still don't want. to ohm. They don't feel comfortable in. their bodies. So what we're going to do. is we're going to do ohms so they can. get comfortable in their body and then. we're going to do aversion therapy so. they can get over the trauma of their. SA.". She's like promising to sell freedom to. the most vulnerable people. >> Yeah, so the this quote unquote therapy. target audience is SA victims. >> Yes. She says, "We know experientially trauma. is just stuff that's stuck in the body.

that needs discharge. So in a sense, the. more trauma you have, the more potential. for discharge you have. It's awesome. So. all of you that people are we have. tremendous potential.". How do you get the trauma out? Nicole. says you ohm a lot. Whatever is in there. begins to come out. You You. make it come out. You create enough heat. that it becomes to come out naturally. When it begins to come out naturally, you ensure that you don't block it. She. says that you have to release all of.

this trauma or else when you're in the. positive version, okay, or the negative. flip side that most of us live in, which. is trying to avoid danger. That keeps you in a place where danger. keeps happening. See, danger doesn't. come towards the thing that have agency, that have the capacity to send energy. out. Danger comes when danger comes, when it perceives that there's something. that will receive it. She's almost. insinuating that victims are asking for. it because they put out the type of. energy into the world where they are. inviting danger. She says, "In terms of.

protecting our bodies, when I say this, you know, it's controversial. People. don't like it. But in many, many, many. studies, they really wanted to. understand what had some people be. assaulted more than others." So, what. they did was they spoke to assailants, abusers, violators, and they said, "How. do you choose who you go after?". >> I go after people who feel like victims. and people who don't seem to be aware of. their surroundings. >> And second thing, there's a certain kind. of righteousness that people have.

Everybody will mess with you nowadays. There's trolls everywhere, but there's a. kind of righteousness. >> where you [music] have communicated that. you will not back down no matter what. >> What? What What does that mean? >> She's just saying if you are turned on. and connected through copious amounts of. ohm, then you will be stronger and more. confident and you will carry yourself. with an energy that's like, "Hey, I. don't around." One survivor childhood. essay who joined One Taste, she was. inspired because she said that she. always had a hard time connecting. intimately, which is obviously like a.

part of trauma when you've been through. childhood essay. And she said that. because of that past trauma, she meets. Rachel, who's the head of sales at One. Taste. She's like Nicole's right-hand. woman. She's the only other one that. gets charged by EDNY, the Eastern. District of New York. >> Mhm. >> Yeah, there's it's very complicated. Also, the reason that a lot of people. have not heard about this case as much I. think is because it actually started. trial May 2025 exactly when Diddy's. trial started and it was almost like. concurrent trials of very similar.

rhetoric, of very similar things. happening and then ultimately she got it. worse than Diddy and she put out all. these statements about how this was a. gender disparity, this was the double. standard for women. Yeah. And it was like, "No, I think that jury. pool was just an ass for Diddy's trial, but whatever. My opinion doesn't matter. here, right?". >> Like how many people was in One Taste at. this point? >> Oh gosh, just their high membership that. was costing like $16,000,

they sold close to 2,000 I believe. If I'm not mistaken and then that's just. the people who paid for that tier of. membership. There were so many people. who came in for months at a time, took. day courses. They were spread out all. over. They opened up locations in New. York, Texas, Atlanta, >> What? >> Los Angeles. Like they had locations. everywhere. Her whole dream was to make. it like. Yogurtland. Yogurtland, Menchie's. She wanted.

franchisees all over the United States. >> When you go in it's just a like a big. yoga room. >> Yeah. >> what it is? >> Yeah. But most of the cities they didn't even. have yoga rooms. They just had communal. living. >> The ones they opened people are living. there. >> Yeah, it would be interesting. So she. they would find a collection of people. that were really into ohm and then they. would open up their own One Taste. headquarters in each city and it would. just be like a giant house that. everybody lives in. >> It's a residential house? >> Yeah. >> Oh really?

>> Yeah. >> Huh. >> Well, it'd be like a commercial / living. space. It really depended on the place. and a bunch of people would live there. It would be communal living and One. Taste for the longest time they were the. ones signing the leases. Eventually, because of all of the essay allegations. that started coming out, Nicole was. like, "I don't want to be on the lease. anymore." She doesn't care. It doesn't. seem like she cares that people are. getting essayed within her organization. She just doesn't want to be on the lease. because there's legal liability.

Yeah, it's a whole thing. And then they. start creating Ohm Moms. Ohm Mom, m o m, like mother, right? They would be the. ones in charge of each location. So, it's kind of like um like strip clubs. have moms. That's what they call it. Where you're like in charge of that. location and you take care of all the. girls there. But they would do that with One Taste. >> crazy. What? >> So, they had locations in every single. major city. Yeah. Like this was a full-fledged. business. It's crazy because it sounds. like a little Okay, you're so crazy. lady. You probably have like five. employees. But no, this is like a.

full-fledged They were listed on top 100. fastest growing startups by Inc. Magazine at one point. So, they were trying to go mainstream. Their headquarters Okay, we're going to. get there. You'll see where their. headquarters is. But anyway, so this. woman says that she was inspired because. she always had a hard time connecting. intimately. And Rachel, one of the One. Taste head staff members, head of sales, she's like, "I went through the same. exact thing. >> [music]. >> And Ohm cured it.".

So, she's like, "Okay, I'm going to. join." And she joins and her name is. Aries. Aries' sister says, "I just saw. all the lights slowly drain from her. eyes.". She describes it as these people would. tell her that she needed to go sleep. with all these guys. Or she needed to. Ohm five times a day to release herself. from the trauma of her childhood. I. mean, they would even go as far with. these assignments for aversion therapy. If you didn't want to sleep with all. these people, the person managing your. assignment would go download Tinder, Bumble, match with random men, chat with.

them, and tell them, "Hey, I just want. to do you.". Find a place, find a time, and they. would tell their employee basically, "Hey, go to this hotel at 6:00. This is the man you're going to sleep. with. And report back to me." This is why it's. so crazy because. no one even gets anything out of that. >> Right, right, right. That's what I. wanted to know. >> Yeah, it's not like they're going and. going on a website for escorting in. these major cities where it's like, "Hey, I have a client who's going to pay. $200 to us. You go and sleep with them.".

It was genuinely just like a random dude. on Tinder. >> Mhm. So, this is like a form of control. on these girls? >> Yeah. It's like you make them so vulnerable. and dependent, and then also a lot of. victims of OneTaste were saying it's. almost this idea of like they just push. you and push you to do the most effed up. thing. And then once you do it, if you. walk back on it, it's hard for humans to. do that because then this miserable. thing that you did was all for nothing.

It wasn't for growth. It wasn't for. healing yourself. It just becomes. another horrendous thing where you've. been manipulated. >> trauma though. >> Yeah. So, you just keep trying to keep. going with it because it can't be for. nothing. >> Yeah. Wow. >> There's just a lot of cruel mental. torture embedded in all of this. Another. member says that she was assigned by. Nicole to sleep with every single man. that lived in their shared living. quarters. She also had to sleep with. this guy named Jeff, which naturally. makes her freak out. And she tells. Nicole, "Jeff looks exactly like my.

older male relative that essayed me when. I was a kid. So, I don't think that I. want to have intimate relations with. someone who looked exactly like my. childhood abuser.". And that's the entire reason that she. joined OneTaste was because of all this. trauma, because of this male relative. that she couldn't get over. And she says. that I mean, she can't do this. She fell. out of touch from her body. It just she. can't do it. >> [music]. >> We don't know what Nicole said to her, but she said that ultimately she slept. with Jeff. And it was. >> Nicole probably said that this is. exactly why you need to, you must.

>> Yeah. And she said it was the hardest thing. that she ever had to do, but she did it. because she fully trusted Nicole. And. here's what Nicole is drilling into them. day in day out. Nicole would reiterate. that the worst thing that can happen to. somebody is to be a victim. She says, quote, >> The worst thing that happens is that you. freeze into an identity, and frozen in. that identity is a very uh clear. perception that's projected onto you. >> Now, some signifiers of darkness tend to. be kind of like a chaos, and we. associate chaos with darkness itself. My.

experience is that when you're actually. in alignment with chaos, it's not it's. not that dark. It's not chaotic at all. It's actually awesome. Another member. was forced to recreate her essay. incident. She was are-worded while her. perpetrator kept telling her, "You're so. beautiful." So, OneTaste allegedly set. up a situation in which she would be. performing on a man, and a whole group. of OneTaste members would be standing in. a circle around them, and they would all.

say in unison, "You're so beautiful. You're so beautiful. You're so. beautiful.". >> How did she describe that? >> She said that she was fully. hyperventilating, [music]. and it got at her, but she said that at. the time, she felt she needed to push. through because she was told over and. over again this would be her final. breakthrough. So, imagine she's like at. her breaking point, I imagine, of I. can't do it. Like, nothing's helping me. get over this trauma, and people are. saying, "Trust me. This works.". Why else would someone do something like.

this? >> My question to you is, why did people. believe her that that would bring them. this sort of form of enlightenment? >> Yeah, I believe that that specific woman. says that I you know, she said yes to it. because she was chasing these. breakthroughs. Like, there was this. belief within OneTaste, which. definitely, you know, came from the top. down, that extreme actions, intense. situations, and really pushing your. edges would bring personal growth. >> In another incident, it's alleged that. Nicole was getting fed up with the. female member's anxiety. So, let's call.

her Ashley. Nicole hates that Ashley is. anxious. So, she sets up an essay. session, basically. I mean, I don't. really know what else to call it. That's. my opinion. She pulls a guy to the side, whispers something to [music] this guy's. ear, and is like, "Hey, go ohm with. Ashley.". She's like whispering. Ashley sees this. And then the guy walks up to Ashley and. is like, "Hey, Nicole wants me to have. an ohm with you.". So, they go do an ohm, and the man. starts doing things down there that are. not part of an ohm. And Ashley did not. consent to it, but she said she couldn't. voice out no because she didn't want to.

disappoint Nicole, and she saw Nicole. talking to him, so she just assumed this. is what she needed. She said, "I totally. disassociated. I mean, it was really. damaging. It felt like being R-worded, and yet I didn't tell him to stop. It's. not even just retraumatizing essay. victims, but it's also encouraging them. to be victims repeatedly in new various. settings. For example, part of Aries. life at One Taste was to let her. boyfriend beat her. And this was like a. common reoccurring thing. She wrote. later in her therapy journal that she.

sent her sister, whom she shared this. with Netflix. She writes, "I woke up. today filled with rage. Rage at my. boyfriend, rage at He punched me in the. face, and he split my lip and bruised my. eye. At first, I was shocked, and we had. fought so many times before. I never. thought he would go that far. I found. little sympathy. This, I was told, was. my fault. I forced him to do it. His. beast was only fulfilling what my body. had asked him to do. Since I was a survivor of childhood.

domestic violence, this was my pattern. and what my body was asking for. He was. only doing what my body asked, and now I. was shaming and blaming him for doing. what I had asked. I looked around the. room at One Taste. All eyes were. downcast. Nobody was willing to stand up. for me. I never spoke again about the. other times he hit me or dragged me. around. Looking back now, I can't. believe I stuck through it. I so wanted. to believe he would change. I was told. that sometimes our soulmates must do. violent things to help us grow. It was. only a way to condone violence. They did.

not want me to one, go to the. authorities, two, have my boyfriend. leave and take his money with him. This. evening, this community member let his. beast out. He picked me up, pinned my. arms to the side, and began to shake me. in front of everyone. Nobody did. anything as he screamed at me how he. would like to R word me, beat me, use. me, that he knew where I slept and he. would find me in the night. I was reprimanded afterwards for showing. fear in the face of a beast. A true. turned on woman would have taken his.

beast cry for help with grace and love. >> So, what is this guy's behavior? Is this. just a violent dude? >> Yeah. I mean, these are all. >> So, this wasn't part of the. quote-unquote therapy that they were all. doing together. >> And Nicole had actually joined multiple. cults before she started OneTaste. >> Mhm. >> So, Nicole was part of Well, okay. You know what? I don't think they're. that litigious. Okay, there's two cults. There's Morehouse. >> and an alleged sex cult from Lafayette, California. [music] It's officially. known as Lafayette Morehouse. But, the.

group uses intimidation tactics to keep. members closed up behind purple doors. >> And then there is another cult which. seems a little bit scarier, but both of. them they were all doing deliberate Os. So, they did the thing before OM. Like she took OM from their practices. Remember, she met up with the guy at the. party before she wanted to become a. Buddhist, apparently. And then he was. like, "Let me teach you something." And. that was a deliberate O. So, that was. the practice. And both of these.

organizations were run by two different. men. And these men were just basically. cult leaders. So, they would have this. thing where they would invite other men. to join, and then they would all just. like beat the woman there. Beat them. into submission, and they would say. things like, "Well, I'm only beating you. because you're asking me for it. You. didn't say it verbally, but whatever you. did in your actions and the way that. your energy is translating to me, you. asked me to beat you. And you can't get. mad at me for doing what you asked. And. Nicole, she's so psychotic, okay? But.

apparently she took a lot of pride in. the fact that no man ever beat her in. these cults. She's. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> So, she then puts this practice. I guess. it attracts a lot of men. And it keeps men staying because they. feel like they're being seen as the. masculine, violent criminals that they. want to be. I mean, I'm not saying all. men are attracted to this type of. practice, but I'm saying it's a very. specific type of men who are going to. want to stay longer in environments like. this. >> So, has she said anything to the men?

Like, what does she say to men who try. to SA women? >> She thinks that they're all. just big little crybabies. >> What does that mean? Like. if a man wants to SA a woman? >> She thinks that they are dealing with a. lot and that they probably have a beast. in them that they were never allowed to. express that caused them to do this. She. thinks SA is very complicated.

She thinks a lot of men have shitty. times in society. which lead them to SA people. In another. situation, and this is confirmed to some. degree by One Taste, they've been. aggressively denying all wrong doing in. everything else, but there's this. incident where one executive of One. Taste just repeatedly started slapping. his girlfriend in front of company. employees over and over again during a. fight. He was fired and then promptly. rehired. One Taste says the incident. itself was unacceptable. However, they.

rehired him because they believe in. rehabilitation, but they firmly stand. that they do not promote or tolerate. violence. Someone needs to send Nicole a [ __ ]. dictionary. You'd have to send it to MDC. Brooklyn because that's where she is, but like I don't think she understands. what words are. Nicole didn't just hate. the idea of victims being traumatized. and not wanting to feel danger and. having natural fear responses and PTSD. of being put in unsafe situations. She. hates that we have this notion that. perpetrators are bad people.

>> And my experience is that when you get. to the root of what's called a. perpetrator, that's what exists there. It's this unbearable. desire to love through all of the. terribly, terribly inaccurate. methods that they've been given. >> Does that make sense? Like if you. picture what, you know, those sticks in. a river and it just keeps pummeling up. against something, it doesn't have a.

natural way to flow. >> That's really the experience of what we. call perpetrator. My experience is that. it is a pure love. My experience of, we'll call it the victim, is a desire. for pure release, pure surrender, pure. freedom. >> Also, if you just need another reason to. not listen to Nicole, she says as proof. that chaos is the only way to grow, that. you have to be in a constant state of. chaos to actually achieve a higher. purpose, that's the key to. enlightenment. Like this is an actually. unhinged woman. One former member says.

that two members were caught fighting by. the manager of the company who told them. to leave and don't come back until. they've both done it with each other. One former member says, I mean, the. whole point was, "If you're having. really very strong feelings, negative. feelings about somebody, like have an. ohm with them." They say ohm is very. different from sex and that we don't. wait until we're in the mood or turned. on, rather we use ohm to turn us on, to. stroke our desire, to awaken our libido. So, we take it on as a practice. We may. set a regular time, we even ohm in the.

middle of a fight because we know as. much as we hate our partner right now. and want nothing to do with them, 15. minutes from now, we're likely feeling a. lot better and the conversation will go. very differently. I genuinely think that she needed a way. to control a lot of the members, but. also up the ante nonstop. I think she. got off on keeping people in a. heightened state of anxiety and. emotions. Her ex-husband, cuz she was. married at one point, long ditched him. before OneTaste becomes big, but the.

ex-husband says, "Nicole actually had. this thing where she was fascinated by. what she could get people to do.". >> Mhm. >> Sometimes she just wanted people to do. things just to see if she could get them. to do it. Like she's not even getting anything out. of it, but like if she's like, "Hey, go. jump off the roof." She got pure joy, allegedly, from just watching someone. listen to her like that. >> Oh, that's the control thing, right? >> She just loves the control because none. of this makes sense. A lot of the times. when you have traffickers, they either. find a lot of.

sexual enjoyment in the exploitation or. they get financial exploitation. Like. eventually it does become financial for. Nicole, but like all of this, it doesn't. make any sense. Why spend so much energy. and resources of all of these people. doing these assignments, meeting people. in hotels from Tinder, forcing them to. do things with each other that they. don't want to do? >> Is she also doing all of these things as. well? Oh. >> No, she probably says she is, but she's. not. >> Interesting. >> Yeah.

>> So she's not doing ohm or whatever. >> As ohm gets bigger and bigger, the more. powerful OneTaste becomes. She is the. only female stroker. She stops getting. stroked. In fact, a lot of people who. left said. she used to ohm with them a lot and. eventually she just stopped asking for. ohms. >> Why is that? Interesting. Like she's trying to set herself apart. now? >> Yeah, she was told by a previous cult. leader. that the leader cannot be too close to. the pack cuz that's how they get eaten. alive.

>> Mhm. >> Yeah. No, she's very sick and twisted because. the next thing that she starts. encouraging people is to employ skillful. violation. Members of One Taste are taught that. they need to learn how to discern when. to push past someone's stated. preferences [music] for the sake of that. person's growth, not even for yourself. If you had to. be forced to make it sound legal, it. would be it's a moment of connection. where you know that what this person. deeply desires. They know what they.

deeply but they're too ashamed or too. scared or too nervous to tell you, so. you just go ahead and do it to fulfill. their greatest desire. One member describes it as, "You're not. really violating what she wants, you're. violating what she says she wants.". >> So like full on essay. >> Yeah, like a very roundabout way of just. describing essay. >> So what is consent? Is your consent to. them? >> No, there's no such thing as consent in. these. >> not right now. Is that what you're. saying? >> Exactly. >> Mhm. >> Oh, there's this like this whole thing. where if a guy is attracted to a woman,

she says no, but he still feels. attraction, it's because she's putting. out signals. So she might not even know. that she's attracted to him, but he. should keep trying because something is. clearly there. He would not feel. attracted to a woman unless the woman is. sending out these signals. >> Interesting. >> Yeah. >> That's interesting. Like so what if a. person is quote unquote attracted to. Nicole then? Can she say no? >> Yeah. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. Nothing ever applies to Nicole. That's.

crazy. And she also is like sitting in. there complaining about jail. >> From Metropolitan Detention Center, Brooklyn. From a dorm of 37 women in beige. uniforms in a room of gray metal bunks. and bright fluorescent hours. >> And I think that she should just work on. staying connected with her fellow. cellmates. Very weird of her. This is all made even. more tricky by the fact that Nicole says. that the main difference is that a lot. of men think that women don't want to.

have intimate activities. That's like a. whole thing in society. It's like women. always say no, I have a headache. No, I. don't want to do this. No, I'm tired. She says, "Do not believe us. If we say. we don't want intimate relations, we. want it more than you guys could. possibly fathom. We are quite literally. starved for the feeling of O's in our. bodies, but we haven't been given. permission to discover the unique. sensations of our own O. So, we don't. know how to order what we desire. In. this, we need your help.".

Skillful violation relies on at least. three pillars of belief. The first being. that women are meant to explore and. delight men. Nicole says, "Once you see. that, everything changes." And the thing. to understand is this, okay? I'm built. to um. delight. And so, my my natural desire is. to say yes. I don't know what she's. saying. She's just saying that like. women have a natural desire to please. and to say yes. And second, that women have been. suppressed for so long that they need. men or other women who are more turned.

on to guide them to their deepest. desires. Furthermore, women are the. ultimate responsibility for everything. So, this is where it gets sick and. twisted. Nicole realizes the past two. cults that she was in, they never made. it mainstream because a guy sitting. there telling you about how women can be. empowered is the dumbest thing alive. No. one's going to buy it. Women aren't. going to buy it. You're not going to end. up on the cover of Forbes. You are only. going to do that if you're a woman. telling women what they need. So, she. sells this message that women are the.

most powerful beings on the planet. We're more powerful than men, okay? But, with power comes great responsibility. One former member says, "One taste was. encouraging women to appreciate the. predatorial nature of male sexuality. because basically Nicole is saying women. are the ones emitting these signals. Consciously, subconsciously, we're. telling men to cat call us, basically. We're like sending out the vibes. We're. sending out our aura and our energy, and.

then they are acting on it because they. can't resist the energy of women. >> Mhm. So, she's saying everything is your. fault. >> Basically. Yeah, which is like not really female. empowerment. She would say things like, you know, men are just responding. It. all starts with the woman. They are the. cause of everything. And she would say. things like, we have to understand that. with equal rights comes equal. responsibility, and women aren't willing. to take equal responsibility. >> How is she like sharing these.

messages? >> She's so good about it. If she has a lot. of new members and they're very basic, regular, shmegular tech bros and tech. couples that come in, it's very watered. down. It's the PR package of we just. want women to feel connected to their. partners, to achieve connectedness. within, and to feel empowered to do more. exploratory things in the bedroom, and. this is how we're going to reignite the. steam in your relationship. And then. once people get more and more in, she.

starts upping the ante. So, aversion. therapy, skillful violation, these are. things that she would tell people that. we know that this works, but it's like. being a wizard, being a witch. That's. what they called it, okay? The muggles. out there would want to burn us at the. stake if they knew what we were doing. But that's the magic. Like, only the. people who know and see the magic have. the magic. So, we can't go out there and. talk about it with the muggles. >> She's saying this is you you're.

listening to me, but don't tell this to. anybody. >> Yeah. And they're like I mean, she's like, you. can, but they're going to look at you. like you're crazy because the muggles. don't get it. They would also think that. normal people who don't get it are. zombies, they're asleep, they're. coasting through life, watching TV on. the weekends, being half alive, half. connected, having no pure connections. within themselves or with other people. So, it's like it depends on which tier. of people that you're talking about. And. she's got a lot of podcasts. I will say. more so in the early years, she was.

crazier. >> What do you mean, she was crazier? >> Yeah, even just like publicly, she was. crazier. She would just say things to. bigger classes, but then as the world. gets more. >> mainstream or. >> Yeah, yeah, she starts toning it down. and everything becomes like wishy-washy, connected with spiritualness. >> Mhm. >> Like she she starts talking about Eros. >> What's Eros? >> It's like she pulls from Buddhists and. yogis and tantric.

teachers. Like she starts making it kind. of like more spiritual, but which I have. nothing against spirituality. I think. it's beautiful. It's just like hers is. not spirituality, it's just like mashing. together words. Like it doesn't make any. sense. So, she gets a little bit. crazier. >> Where do all these rituals of. spirituality come from? The simple answer is. >> Sex. >> Sex. >> She has all of this hidden, and for the. first time ever, they have their big. inner circle scandal. It doesn't make it.

to the mainstream news outlets or even. to the world outside of OneTaste, but. this causes a huge rift inside the. OneTaste community because at this. point, there's so many states that have. OneTaste headquarters. There's so many. different cities. They have this online. hub that you go to with all the OneTaste. members from New York, Los Angeles, San. Francisco, Atlanta, Texas, and they all. start writing, and there's this one post. that starts going viral. She is a. student who bought into the coaching. program. That she's probably already. spent like $10,000. She's going to stay. at the communal residence until she.

finishes the coaching program, and she's. there in Texas training for the course. that she paid for. She's in her assigned. bedroom working on her laptop when a. trained coach, not even a fellow. trainee, a trained coach, slams open the. door without knocking, walks up to her. bed, and just starts grabbing her chest. She tells him, "I'm working. I don't. want this. Stop." He tells her, quote, "I bet this isn't the worst interruption. from work you've had.". He leaves, but then he promptly returns.

waving his finger in front of her face. I don't know, asking like, she's like, "What are you doing?" "Seeing if you'll. touch my finger. This is the beginning. of your turn on.". She tells him no. Eventually he leaves. again, and she goes to try and lock the. door, but there's no lock. She's of. course terrified, and she writes on the. form, "This is not a safe place.". Which is absolutely valid. OneTaste. seemingly was not a safe place. I mean, they have shared living spaces, communal. living, and it's been alleged where at. one point, a man who was convicted and.

let go of killing his girlfriend, somehow he's free, was allowed to join. this communal living space. Another time. a man accused of SA'ing children was. allowed to be interviewed by OneTaste. But this incident causes a huge stir in. the Ohm community, not in the outside. world, but everyone It's like a. shake-up. You would think that Nicole. and Ohm, all the executives are like, "We got to pump the brakes." But one of. Nicole's inner circle executives. >> Like why is it a shake-up? Why are. people reacting so aggressively even.

within the community? >> I think that it was a lot of newer. people in the community that took it. really seriously, because of course they. should. And then a lot of people that. have been in OneTaste for a really long. time, and Nicole's inner executives, they start adding fuel to the fire. They. don't just say like, "Hey guys, we're. handling the situation. We got it under. control." They start saying things like, "Look, as a woman, the easier thing for. me to do is say I was violated. That. way, I don't have to look at my part in. it. People love the story of violation.

We drink it up like water. It keeps. women broken. It allows everyone else to. feel good because they want to rescue. woman. In the meantime, we shame and. blame the men for showing any signs of. desire, for being creepy. It's not that. men are bad and women are good. It's. that I'm the one as a woman who knows. how to tend to these unbelievably. powerful forces that need incredible. care, nurturance, strength, power, everything that a mother has. I'm the. one who knows how to hold that power as.

a mother, not as a father who's doing. his thing, but somebody who understands. the ramifications of this power. So, a lot of like the younger OneTaste. members, younger as in newer, they hear. this and they're like, "Okay, I got to. go.". >> So, before it was all a theoretical. >> Yes. >> But, when this actually happened within. the community. >> Yeah. Yeah, and you have to remember. that San Francisco, especially, is a. huge hub for. freedom in that aspect. So, they had the.

Lusty Lady, which is now defunct, and. actually Nicole used to work there. It's. a strip club. It was the first unionized. strip club in the US. >> Okay. >> They also have. kink.com headquartered. on the same like street that all of the. massive tech companies, like Uber and. Twitter, are. >> Mhm. >> Yeah, so they have like a they have huge. BDSM communities. Actually, one of the communal living. centers called The Warehouse, the. original one in San Francisco, once.

OneTaste left, it is now like a play. dungeon where you can come in and like. get strapped up to the crosses and like, you know. >> Mhm. >> So, I think a lot of people went in. thinking like, "Oh, this is kind of like. role-playing, maybe.". >> Uh. >> Like, "Okay, yeah, I don't want it, but. like you know, you kind of like maybe. it's that and like everybody is a. consenting adult at the end of the day, but. >> are like experimenting and and learning. and just. >> Yes. >> But, instead, they're like, "Hey, if you. get groped, >> It's your fault. >> Yeah, yeah. >> I think a lot of the newer members were. like, "What?". >> Yeah.

>> What do you mean? >> Yeah, so there's no consent here? >> Yeah, like I got to go. So then it. caused this huge rift inside of the. community. >> Mhm. >> They also had something called going off. the rails, which basically just means. essay. And typically an older stroker. will just use an ohm with a younger. woman as a way to just fully essay them. >> They promote that or they. >> No, but they would just call it instead. of saying it's essay, you need to go to. the police, they would just say, "Oh, he. went off the rails.".

It's just you're going off the rails. And it's encouraged for guys to let. their beast out. So women letting their. beast out means having intimate. relations with as many men as possible. that they don't want to have intimate. relations with. And for men, it's doing. whatever the [ __ ] they want, which is. further evidenced by a male member. He's. doing this introduction video for One. Taste, and he's asked to describe his. intimate life. And like I think this is. why a lot of Nicole's teachings start. heavily leaning this way because I think. this is the community that is giving her. money. He says, "There's a lot of anger.

in my intimate life. And there's also a. lot of sweetness. But with One Taste, I'm hoping to bring in even more anger.". And Nicole promotes that idea by saying, >> Pause and hesitation are the worst. As. is withdrawal. Withdrawal actually in. play is. cruel, which doesn't mean. that you can't pause. Pause is. deliberate. Withdrawal. just drags another person's nervous.

system around like. >> So she's basically saying if you are in. the midst of intimate relations and. you're like, "Hey, I can't do this. anymore. I don't want to do this. anymore." you are cruel. Don't do that. You can even just say if. you get stuck, you can say, "Oh, I'm. stuck because my pride is here. Oh, I'm. stuck because the next thing I would say. or would do would make me far too. vulnerable and I'm terrified of what it. would mean." So if you profoundly, you. know, if you want profound erotic play, fast and smooth is the most fun. And you.

can only get there by continuing to move. through these blocks as you go. Boundaries are blocks that you have to. push through. >> Mhm. >> And she says, you know, this is back when she was um. in the adult entertainment industry, right? When she was working at like the. Lusty Lady. She says, "I had a regular. and he wanted to strangle me. His beast. was locked in there and it hadn't had a. place for expression. And I just. happened to love beast. [music] I had to. surrender so deep that I could absorb. him all the way in and invariably all of.

a sudden it hit this point and he just. started bawling. >> [music]. >> And that was all. And he paid me a lot. of money to just come strangle me and. cry and that was it." And we think, you. know, they're so tough, but they're just. little love bugs. They're crying. They're just our little companions that. want to love us. >> Is she the world's biggest pygmy? >> Yeah, I think so. He wants to strangle. woman. He is not a love bug. He is. hopefully just someone who is exploring. intimate interests while practicing.

safely, although I think that is too. much benefit for the doubt. I think he. could just be a. criminal. Nicole continues, "They're. just tough because they're met with. fear." Nicole's messaging is bluntly a. turned on woman says yes more often and. that's a good thing. And we know this. because let's say a woman complains, she. says, "There's a secret. And it's this. Behind every woman's. complaint is a desire.". The complaint is like this moat around.

her palace, her castle of hunger. No, she's crazy. Nicole may argue that. my interpretation is incorrect, but. those are ultimately the words coming. out of her own mouth. And on that note, she even says in class that essay is a. complex issue. Not in the sense that. essay culture exists, the justice system. blames victims, that society at large. blames victims. It's not complex in that. way. It's complex because SA and. assaulters are not just perpetrators. She says, "There is a rage that lives.".

And so, you see this rage that lives in. women, and we all here are fairly. familiar with it. But there's a rage. that lives in men that you can't win the. game. She says, "They have no dignity, these men. They're groveling for sexless. sex, and [music] groveling for a drop of. anything, and that is humiliating.". And that's why I say SA is a very. complex thing. That's why it's complex. You have to look at the conditions of a. starving person being tricked by. somebody selling food that doesn't.

nourish yet again. >> Wait, she sounds just like one of those. male podcasts, no? >> Yeah, no, I know. >> Like exactly the [laughter] same stuff. she's saying. >> Yeah. She's like, "Fuck the girl with. the list.". Like she sounds exactly like a male. podcaster. >> Yeah. >> And she also, for someone who claims to. be bisexual, and I say claims not. because I like to question people's. sexuality, but she claims this. She. [ __ ] hates lesbians. I don't know how. else to put it. One victim said she was. told non-stop at OneTaste, side note, she's into women, she's not into men,

she's a lesbian, and they straight-up. tell her to her face, "If you're not. hungry for c o c k, you're not connected. with your true inner self. All women are. hungry for c o c k, even if you're gay, you're hungry for c o c k.". >> Hm. >> They start pressuring her to have. intimate relations with men, encouraging. her that if she can just contact the. part of her that is hungry for the c o c. k, she will be unstoppable and truly. powerful in this world. The stuff that is being taught,

enforced, and pushed on vulnerable. members at OneTaste are so confusing in. the sense that. I mean, later it's going to make sense. because Nicole will want these members. to be intimately open so that she can. exploit them and have them sleep with. investors for the company. That's her. ultimate aim, it seems. It's downright. evil, but it makes sense in the. traditional way of like, okay, that's. usually how we see these things unfold. People start these organizations to. essentially traffic women so that they. can get financial gain. But as of right. now, people are like, what is she even.

getting out of this? What the hell is. wrong with Nicole? >> Do we know the investors or. >> Yes. Yeah, and some of them are huge names. >> Mhm. >> Uh one of them that she was courting. that I don't think did anything with any. members of OneTaste, but she really like. they were in conversations with Nicole. of investing in OneTaste or having some. sort of partnership with OneTaste was. the founder of Zappos who sold Zappos. for like a billion dollars or something. crazy to Amazon.

>> Right. So, he was talking about. investing, but no allegation yet. >> No, there was no allegation said um he. essayed anyone in OneTaste. I don't know. if he has any allegations. I wouldn't be. surprised considering what's going on. with Epstein's list. Everybody's in. there. Wellness gurus are in there like. everybody and their mom and dad is in. there, so I don't know. But as of what I. can see from OneTaste members, they were sent to Las Vegas to. constantly court him and like having. these business meetings and talking. about the benefits of Ohm, but I don't. think that he.

was catered to in that sense. >> Mhm. >> And then ultimately he did not want to. cuz he wanted to keep a squeaky clean. image. Yeah. >> Really? That's his reason? >> Yeah, I think he was trying to do. something with Vegas where he was going. to I don't know if he was trying to. purchase like do a development in Vegas. which it was crazy because he was. basically saying that even OneTaste is. too much for Vegas. And [snorts] we're talking about Vegas. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> So, he's like, I got to keep my image if. I want to win this. I think he was like.

bidding for a development or something. >> Interesting. >> And a lot of this stuff is not even. particularly marketable to the masses. Nobody's going to listen to a wellness. podcast that talks like this. I would. say maybe like 10% of what Nicole says. is like every other male podcaster, but. like the other 90% is kind of crazy. >> Yeah. >> So people start digging. What the hell. is wrong with Nicole? Nicole grew up in. California with her mom, and her dad. left when she was very young, but he. does make a reappearance in her life a.

bit later. By all reports, it seems like. Nicole did well in school. She. graduates, starts working at the Lusty. Lady. I will say a lot of Nicole's. history is alleged. We don't know how. much of it is accurate. She has a. tendency to allegedly make up stories to. fit her weird philosophies. You know. those people that are like, "I am going. to talk about how great of a parent I. am, so I'm going to make up the craziest. lesson in my head, my kid is going to. ask me, 'Mom, how come you gave money to. that man without a house?'" And then. you're like, "I don't think your. 4-year-old asked you that." That's.

Nicole, where I'm like, "I don't think. that happened." Like I don't think the. tomato thing happened the way that she's. telling us the tomato thing happened, but like who am I to say, right? Maybe I. was just a dumb illiterate 12-year-old, but weird, okay? Such as remember the guy Erwan that. introduced her to DO, the deliberate O, before she became a. Buddhist? She also changes that story. She's like, "You know what? I think it's. more mainstream to say that he was the. Buddhist.". So then she like starts changing it, and. it becomes more spiritual of like this.

>> She met the Buddhist? >> Yeah, who was like, "Let me rub you down. there." And it was a spiritual. awakening. So then she just I mean, that. is evidence enough for me to not believe. a single thing that comes out of her. mouth. But it seems that she worked at the. Lusty Lady for a little bit of time. She. starts picking up shifts, and according. to one ex-boyfriend of hers that was. with her at the time, she gets into. high-end escorting, where she bragged. about how every time she was with a man, she would practice cold reading, aka. trying to figure out quickly what the. guy secretly wanted from her. Because.

when she first meets them, they would. all act tough, and they would all act. like, "You know, I'm just here because. my buddy told me to be here, and she's. trying to read oh, like you want to be. spanked. You want to be leashed up like. a dog. She gathers, quote, I learned. that my erotic power is the greatest. resource that I have. Later, OneTaste. members would learn cold reading. They. would stand in a circle with one person. at the center, and people would blurt. out what they see trying to get a. reaction, such as, I see somebody who. has never felt turned on. I see a.

10-year-old girl who has never loved. Like trying to cold read and practice. what Nicole would do. Nicole's ex-husband says, She just would. play around. socially with people. Mess with their. heads, guys especially. A friend of mine. was like, Oh, she's a monster. She's a. monster. You stay away from her. And of course, that led to him getting. married to her cuz, you know, he [music]. found that very intriguing. Side note, I. do think that their marriage was doomed. for a failure since the beginning. They.

get married when she's just starting. OneTaste. She doesn't even tell him that. OneTaste is based off of Oming. Like he. has no clue. He thinks that she's just. starting a wellness company. And she. would do these very weird things where. she would just treat him like [ __ ] She. would get in a hot tub with a bunch of. members and then just lead him around. like a dog, but the leash is the. ding-dong. Like just kind of like just very. humiliating things. Other members, eventually once he does find out what.

Oming is, they just saw him as. disposable. Like he would walk into a. room, and there is his wife Nicole just. Oming with other people. Someone. straight-up called him a throwaway. person. And eventually, they do get. divorced. But he does provide a lot of. insight into her life. Reportedly, from. other sources, she had her very first. sugar daddy when she was 16 years old. She had a strong liking for meth. She. would sprinkle meth into a tiny little. square of tissue paper and then swallow.

the tissue paper whole. I don't know how. accurate that is, but another ex of hers. says, "She just has this energy, good or bad, but she fills up the entire. room.". But probably the most enlightening part. of Nicole's past is her relationship. with her dad. Nicole's dad leaves the. family when she's a few years old. He. just like leaves Nicole and her mom to. be a single mom. Nicole says during this. lecture, "You know, my dad. was a child molester. He had experiences with young girls, and.

he used me as bait. And so that exact. behavior, like whoa, me colluding with. somebody who could cause harm, I got. that seed out. I got free. I could. forgive everybody in that whole. experience.". I don't know. >> What? >> what she's saying, right? But I will say. that Nicole probably has a lot of. unresolved trauma in terms of her dad. Once he leaves the family, he starts a. whole new family. He never comes to see. Nicole, and she idolizes this man, thinks that her dad basically walks on. water. She would do this thing where she.

would blast his favorite songs, sing. them out loud, because she thought that. she could bewitch him to come drive. around the corner and come visit her. He. would visit very rarely, once in a. while, occasionally. And at one point in. college, she admits to her friends that. he was SAing her when she was a child. And then eventually, he was convicted of. SAing other children that he had. And [snorts] she says, "You know, my dad. died in prison for 52 counts of child. molestation. And I never took on the. idea that he was that person.

I took on the idea that he was just so. expansive. and fourth-dimensional. that he couldn't confine himself into. the arbitrary laws of the third. dimension, that his only crime in my. mind, you know, and then now other. people may have different ideas, oh, is um. >> Is that what she said? >> Yeah. Is that you know, he just was. fourth-dimensional. She says she saw a married family guy.

cheating with a video actress. She saw a. religious leader sleeping with, you. know, his own students. And. you would use the word R-word, but like. she says [ __ ] right? And she's like, "But really, what I think is happening. is just all nature. And maybe that's another shirt, nature. happens, instead of saying like, "Well, these artificial constructs kind of suck. us, and even the most excited people in. our culture cannot abide by them. Maybe.

we should look at the laws we've. created.". >> The laws were created. >> against child essay. >> Right. >> She also starts telling people that the. child essay that happened to her as a. child was her fault because she seduced. her father. She says that she was so. hungry for his attention that when she. was 6 years old, she burst into the. restroom when he was using it and. declared that she loved him and wanted. to marry him, and she would constantly. sneak peeks at his private parts. Oh, she also says that as a young child, she. would.

like try to climb on her dad. And she felt exhilarated by the friction. of. things. And then she said that even as a. teenager, all of her boyfriends that she. would have intimate relations with at. the end of the day, she imagined them to. be her father instead. >> That is some crazy stuff she's saying. >> Somehow all of this gets buried, and all. that makes it to the mainstream media is. just Nicole's Looney Tune teachings that. seem mostly harmless.

So like I said, she just knows her. audience really well. >> Who So these are she told told to her. very inner inner group. >> Yeah. Or like in the very beginning, she would. say these things when she would just say. all sorts of things, and then now it's. like once she got the attention of the. New York Times, once she got the. attention of all these celebrities, she. starts really toning it down. >> Mhm. Wasn't she married to a very. successful tech person in the beginning? >> They weren't married, they were just. dating. And more on him later because.

he's in a lot of the court documents and. we're going to go through the trial in. part two. And the trial is crazy. She. was charged in EDNY, which is in. Brooklyn. >> Mhm. >> And same time as Diddy's trial, she also. is repped by really powerful attorneys. One of them who repped R Kelly, um. Harvey Weinstein. She would say some. crazy it. She was just straight up. victim blaming. >> testifying? >> No, the attorney was just victim blaming. through her cross-examinations to the. point where the judge was like, "Hey, so.

all of you guys are insane.". They put like the DOJ symbol. and put a swastika over it. Also, the Nicole and Rachel right now. are trying to get part of the last. pardons of when Trump leaves office this. time round. They've been courting a lot. of right-wing media sources and they're. they have connections to who is called. the pardon czar, who is like the person. closest to Trump that's like in charge. of all the pardons, basically. So, um.

>> Wow. >> That's all going to be in part two. >> So, she must make a lot of money, right, from hiring all these top attorneys? >> Yeah. She cashed out on Vinted before it went. down. She sold Vinted to Vinted members who. are very wealthy. And at one point, the. guy who married the heiress of the. Wrigley's chewing gum. like the chewing gum that everybody. chews. >> Uh-huh. >> He was part of Vinted. Like she was attracting a lot of wealthy.

people. So, I'm sure she has a lot of. money. And even during the trial, it's. just like Diddy. And the when I was. reading it, I was like, "Oh, this is so. odd that it was happening at the same. time." She would do the exact same. things that Diddy would do. She would. turn to her supporters who are filling. up the pews and she would put her hand. on her chest and like bow at them. And like mouth thank you. Thank you. And I'm like, oh, so they're. all the same? Okay. What's happening? She just knows her audience. She knows. exactly what to do. If she gets a group.

of tech investors or tech people that. want to join OneTaste. Okay, so you've. got the regular tech dudes who probably. are. not so great attracting companionship. Remember like I was talking about. earlier? So they pay and they want to. see things happen. They want to learn. how to attract members of the opposite. gender so that they can go on dates. You've got that group and then you've. got the tech bros that just want to see. some nasty stuff. And she would cater to. them, too. She eventually starts hosting. priest and priestess of orgasm rituals.

where quote it's described as this. There was this ritual where seven. highest ranking women in OneTaste got up. on seven tables on a stage with only. black veils on their faces. They were. totally unclothed from the head down, which is not an Ohm thing. Remember Ohm, you just take down your pants. And then seven men would come up and. stroke the woman and then every few. minutes they would all rotate. And the. seven men were exalted as [music]. important men in the Ohm community. They. were the priests of Ohm. Usually these.

guys had plenty of money. It's basically. what it is. So it almost becomes like. this ritualistic element that I guess a. lot of people are into. They also called. it magic school. You pay $15,000. and to put it lightly some people said. it's kind of more like a sex party, you. know. You watch people become priestess and. priests of Ohm. And those who know Nicole say, you know, ultimately she was a showman. She would also like if she thinks you're. into this, there was one where they.

would have snakes. They would bring in. snakes and there would be a lot of women. that were naked and the snakes would. just like writhe on their bodies. So really she. >> She's doing whatever. >> She's doing whatever. If you have money. and you sit down, she's doing whatever. she thinks that you like. >> Right. >> But all of this is hidden from. mainstream journalists. To them, she. just shows. spiritual nothings. That's what I want. to call it. This is a segment I like to. call, do you know what she's talking. about? Nicole says, I am of the belief.

that each one of us has a blueprint. [music] inside. What's the purpose of. this life? The potential. The purpose of. this life first is for you to learn to. read your particular blueprint and then. develop the courage to live that. blueprint. And then, [music]. you become permission for everyone else. to live their blueprint. Does that make. sense? No, it doesn't, Nicole. She says, so I have a very deep embedded. clear blueprint. I talk about it. I talk. about all the crazy [ __ ] with pride in,

you know, in the pride that I have is. that that is me and then I'm going to. live it out. In no way do I ever want. you to believe that's a prescription for. you. I'm much more interested in. semantics. It's called description. versus prescription. I'm much more. interested in discovering what's in. there than how do we have you have that, whatever it is. I'm going into a coma. The One Taste. website also says, learning to live. unconditionally means learning to live. without attachments to the form the.

energy wants to move in. I'm not saying that that is conceptually. dumb. In fact, it's a beautiful concept. derived from Buddhist values. I'm just. saying, why would you take something so. deep and regurgitate it in a way that is. so dumb? Perhaps it exceeds my level of. comprehension of the English language, even though I would like to say that I. think I have a solid basic grasp. I've been mastering the art of talking. for at least two decades. A better. phrasing could have easily been, living unconditionally means letting go.

of needing life to look a certain way. Instead, you allow experiences to flow. naturally, however they manifest. >> Mhm. That's it. Okay. Sense has re-entered. our brains. And then of course there are. other things that I guess also just make. sense, but it's goofy. The only way to. build steady attention in the face of. protest is to stay firmly rooted in. power. Power is located in the neutral. location of sensation between finger and. clitoris. We keep that spot open with.

our attention and relate to the spot, not to the person. We cannot afford to. relate to the individual without the. mediator of the in-between sensation, or. else we will fall into the personal, which appears as doubt in ourselves. >> That's crazy. >> You know, yeah, I Those are literally I. feel like you're having an awakening. >> [laughter]. >> He says, "I'm suddenly English is my. primary language now.". >> Wow. >> Yeah, in one article written by Nicole, it's called the poison-to-medicine list,

which. I guess the whole thing that she's. trying to say is go outside and do this. You can get medicine out of poison. It's. just like random excerpts. And again, while the general message seems okay, she seems unhinged. She writes, "Walk. into a Safeway supermarket. Imagine that. you've entered nirvana, and the name [music] is code for refuge. in the world. The great beyond is right. there. The guy pricing the Cheerios, he's a deity. The oranges offer the nectar of the. gods. The fluorescent lighting is.

pristine luminosity. You've entered the. legendary palace. They've all been there. all along, and they are so happy to see. you.". >> It's like a middle schooler writing a. fan fiction. >> This is so [laughter]. insane. I don't even know what to say. But somehow it works. Hiding the. unhinged and selling spiritual nothings. at this point, it's gaining traction. They have a following. Nicole has. seduced powerful, wealthy men to support. OneTaste. They have initially pretty.

horrendous, non-existent earnings. Even. with those non-existent earnings, they. have the powerful backers. That's how. they open up a yoga studio in San. Francisco. That's like the first. headquarters. It's a two-story building. and it looks like, you know, those fancy. concrete perfume shops in LA? You walk. in, everything is concrete and wood, [music] and then you have a display of. like five glass bottles and it's all. like $200 sandalwood [music] scented eau. de parfums. That's exactly what the. space looks like. It's that feeling. It's airy. It's sunny. But then.

everybody just like gets naked and. starts doing [music] it and then you. just hear moaning radiating and echoing. off the concrete walls. Welcome to the One Taste Urban Retreat. Center. The grand opening, they have. burlesque dancers. [music]. Maybe they're like performative, interpretive dancers because at one. point they take off all their clothes. and then they just start cutting into it. with scissors. I don't know what that's supposed to. mean. So, it's like the Sanctum the. Club, but also meets Erewhon-esque. [music] smoothies and wheatgrass shots,

meets a yoga center. Unclothed yoga, ohm. sessions, poetry nights, workshops, community building events. They would. have something called the Temple of. Sirens [music] where it's a night you. come in, you pay entrance fee. Female. employees are going to dress up in hot. outfits. You purchase a ticket at the. door [music] and they give you. attention. They'll blindfold you, give. you a food tasting experience. They have. foot washing stations for these women to. wash feet, which is kind of biblical, I. guess. I don't know. She's like just.

going on FetLife and looking up the. biggest KINKs that exist and just just. like, "Let me incorporate them to every. single event." They do sushi on a nude. woman, but because this is a. full-fledged LLC, it doesn't meet the. health code, so they had to completely. Saran Wrap her body, which I imagine. looks even more sinister-looking. So, she's like completely Saran Wrapped and. then they put the sushi on top of the. Saran Wrap. [music]. I'm like, "That. They have an event called the Joy of.

Chest, where it's just like hundreds of. pictures of chests and [music] topless. hostesses walking around, and this booth. that you can walk up to where you can. quote, "Come on in and get felt up.". So, I imagine they have employees that. are that you can feel. >> So, like these things just attract all. the the the rich tech. >> Yeah. >> founders and. >> It seems like this attracts. the okay earning tech people. >> Mhm.

>> The tech founders, it seems like Nicole. gets them. >> Mhm. >> And I will say Nicole is charismatic, and I think the thing that Nicole has is. probably what Lauren Sanchez has. Which is like, I think that's what. everyone says about Lauren Sanchez. She's not what people think is the most. attractive woman in the world, and they. think that Jeff Bezos could have every. woman in the world. So, why Lauren. Sanchez? I think both of them are very good at. talking to guys. But not in the like. "Do whatever you want." type of way, I.

guess. I think that she has some sort of. allure with these tech founders. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> It's actually, um, you know, back in the. day they called them courtesans, and I. say that because Nicole was very into. the idea of being or having modern-day. courtesans. So, back in the day, you. have concubines. Concubines are just. mistresses. Typically, they came from. lower backgrounds. They would just live. in a residence where a wealthy man would. come in, and you're like a mistress. Your duty is to bear children and be.

ready for this husband. But, you're not. like the wife. You're not the one living. in the main house and living with jewels. and all these things. And then you had. courtesans. These women typically came. from better backgrounds. They were. typically highly educated. They were. well informed of the arts, and they were. essentially very, very high-end yacht. girls essentially. So they know how to. conversate, they know how to go watch a. play and talk about Shakespearean. ideologies and all these things and have.

these in-depth conversations with. wealthy men. They can be like intellectually. stimulating but ultimately like. there is a transaction happening. >> Right. >> So I think Nicole got a lot of. inspiration from that. >> Hm. >> [clears throat]. >> That's the vibe I get. But Nicole would. say, "This is why this place is called. One Taste. Once you've tasted being. inside of yourself and knowing yourself, there is some part of your soul that. will always crawl to get back.".

But how do you make money from that? $10. for a guy to walk in and touch someone's. chest and then walk out? You're not. going to get massive conversions to even. pay for this type of warehouse. Is she. only going to sit there and gather all. these tech founders and investors or is. she going to do something else? According to one former member, they had. a conversation with Nicole and they. said, quote, "I looked at her and I. said, 'You're starting a religion, aren't you?'". And she goes, "Yeah, I want to start a. religion.

But the thing is, you can't sell God. You can get God on Amazon. What I'm selling is sex because you. still can't get that.". >> What does that mean? >> She is going to start. using the members. And that is where I. leave you with part one. Because the. next step, she's going to up the ante. She's going to victimize the members. even further. She's going to get a lot. more investors. She's going to start. making a lot of money. She's even going.

to move the headquarters of One Taste. right across the street from Uber, Twitter, and Dolby. It's going to get. big and it's going to get bad. That is part one of the One Taste cult. What are your thoughts so far? Leave it. in the comments. Stay safe and I'll see. you in the next one. >> [music].
