Following the release of Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult, Cecilia Peck and Inbal B. Lessner were flooded with messages regarding other cults and control groups, with Peck and Lessner urged to expose Twin Flames Universe.[2] The filmmakers reached out to Shaleia and Jeff Divine for comment, who declined.[3] Former members sent Peck and Lessner footage of classes, documents, and photos, and a hard drive which included the most incriminating material.[4]
