If you’ve been watching The Vow, HBO’s bombshell docuseries about the NXIVM cult, you’ve seen India Oxenberg’s friends and family — including her mother, Dynasty star Catherine Oxenberg — fight to get India out from under the thumb of cult leader Keith Raniere. Now, India is telling her own story.

India Oxenberg is taking a look back at her time spent trapped in NXIVM.  Daughter of actress Catherine Oxenberg, India, was among those under the influence of former leader, Kevin Raniere.  India will open up about her experience in the cult in "Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult," an upcoming STARZ four-part docuseries. Ahead of the show's premiere, India, 29, reflected on meeting Raniere for the first time in a clip from "The Doctors" obtained by Fox News.

India Oxenberg is finally ready to open up about her debilitating descent into NXIVM.

India Oxenberg is opening up.

“I had two women holding my hands and my feet, so I wouldn’t convulse,” India Oxenberg said to PEOPLE when recounting the night she was branded with the initials of Keith Raniere, head of the now-infamous NXIVM organization. The 29-year-old daughter of Dynasty star Catherine Oxenberg was chosen to join NXIVM’s master-slave sorority, DOS. As part of her initiation, she was instructed to remove her clothes and join several other women in a room with a table. That was when she was branded. “I remember the smell — of flesh,” said India. “I remember crying but not with pain. There was no choice to say no.”

NXIVM in 2018, India Oxenberg is finally ready to tell her story. The 29-year-old survivor and daughter of actress Catherine Oxenberg is speaking out for the first time in the intensely intimate and emotional Starz docuseries, detailing her seven years spent inside Keith Raniere’s self-help organization, which was eventually exposed as a pyramid scheme and cult that subjected female recruits to sexual slavery. “I needed time and I needed space to just take care of myself and process what I had just gone through in the past seven years of my life,” India tells ET, finding that writing about her experience was “very cathartic and helpful.”But it was after meeting filmmakers Cecilia Peck, who was also recruited by NXIVM, and Inbal B.

Danielle Turchiano Senior Features Editor, TVFor seven years, India Oxenberg was the frog slowly boiling in the pot of water that was so-called self-empowerment group NXIVM. For about three years she was a supporting character in stories told by everyone from directors Karim Amer and Jehan Noujaim to her own mother, Catherine Oxenberg.

Erik Pedersen Managing EditorIt was the kind of story Hollywood might dream up — but not only was it real, it had some ties to the industry. Starz has set Sunday for the premiere of Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult, a four-part documentary series that takes a first-person look at the sex cult that was broken open in April 2018.

Danielle Turchiano Senior Features Editor, TVActor, author and producer Catherine Oxenberg would stop at nothing to save her daughter India from the clutches of Keith Raniere, Allison Mack and their dangerous so-called self-empowerment group NXIVM, a subgroup of which subjected the younger Oxenberg to sexual assault and branding.Her tireless work included deep-dives on the history of predatory behavior in cults, in addition to equally extensive research into Raniere and NXIVM themselves. She told her story to Frank Parlato of the “Frank Report” blog, as well as to Barry Meier of the New York Times, who ultimately broke the story about the branding practice.
