In a statement released before her sentencing phase, Allison had apologized for her role in the cult's crimes, "I believed, whole-heartedly, that [Raniere's] mentorship was leading me to a better, more enlightened version of myself... this was the biggest mistake and regret of my life."

After her release, Allison will continue to remain on supervised release for another three years.
