#Clare Bronfman labeled ‘predator’ by Nxivm victims

A handful of women who were victimized by Nxivm tore into Seagram’s heiress Clare Bronfman on Wednesday, calling her a “dangerous megalomaniac” and “predator” for bankrolling the upstate sex cult.

Nine women delivered emotional victim impact statements in Brooklyn federal court ahead of Bronfman’s sentencing.

“Did you ever consider they wanted your money? What would happen if you just stopped giving your money?” asked Susan Dones, who fled the alleged self-help group. “In my opinion, you’re a predator. Let that sink in.”

Bronfman — who tightly held her lawyer’s hand as she got the earful — is set to learn whether she’ll be sent to prison for her role in Nxivm.

The 41-year-old daughter of late former Seagram liquor chairman Edgar Bronfman Sr. pleaded guilty last August to charges of conspiracy to conceal and harbor an illegal alien for financial gain, and fraudulent use of identification.

She funneled some of her $210 million fortune into Nxivm — which ran a secretive master-slave sex group called DOS in which young women were starved, forced to sleep with leader Keith Raniere, and branded with his initials.

“You should understand that there are lives you destroyed,” Dones continued. “If you would’ve allowed that truth to come to the surface, DOS would not ever have happened. What you call humanity of Nxivm is just lipstick on a pig.”

Dones then accused Bronfman of still being under Raniere’s spell.

“I pray for you every day,” she said. “I pray you will take the class of Keith Raniere out of you … because he is killing you.”

Kristin Keeffe, who worked with Bronfman for 11 years as a paralegal, also spoke, recalling how her one-time boss helped Raniere dodge child support payments for the son they share.

“I saw Clare mentally descend over several years into a dangerous megalomaniac,” said Keeffe, who fled with her son, Gaelyn, now 13, in 2014.

Bronfman also launched a financial attack on her when she protested litigation against Raniere’s ex-girlfriend, Barbara Boucher, Keeffe said — by billing her rent for a Nxivm townhouse she lived in and slashing her $55,000-a-year salary to just $13,000.

Meanwhile, the liquor heiress “rode a $1 million horse, bought a 6,500-square-foot mansion and flew in her $11 million private jet,” she said.

“She was trying to psychologically break me,” Keeffe said.

Boucher told Bronfman — a former high-ranking Nxivm leader who recently refused to disavow Raniere — that the man they called “Vanguard” used her as a “pawn.”

“Clare, do you realize they lied to you? You thought you were in the inner circle. You were six layers out,” she said. “He used you. He pawned you. He made you feel special.”

After the women wrapped up their statements, about three minutes of silence fell over the cavernous courtroom before the judge ordered a break before sentencing.

Bronfman faces 30 months behind bars, but prosecutors have asked that she be sentenced to twice that — five years in prison. Her lawyers are calling for three years of probation.
