About Cult Insider
Cult Insider was created to pull back the curtain on high-control groups, spiritual abuse, and the manipulation hiding behind love, light, and loyalty. We’re here to make sense of what too often goes unspoken: the trauma, the gaslighting, and the haunting question of how it all happened.
This isn’t just another commentary site. It’s a hub for survivors, families, researchers, and the curious to come together—sharing stories, exposing tactics, and rebuilding truth where deception once thrived.
Our mission is simple:
Expose manipulation. Empower survivors. Educate the public.
The person idea for this project come from a survivor who knows the path from devotion to devastation. After living through—and walking away from—one of the most notorious cults in recent history, after overcoming a stage-4 cancer diagnosis, they built Cult Insider to ensure others don’t have to feel as alone, unsupported, confused, or silenced.
Here, you’ll find:
- In-depth articles breaking down cult dynamics
- Interviews with insiders, experts, and family members
- Resources for those recovering or helping someone who is
- A growing community committed to truth and healing
If you’ve ever wondered “Was that really a cult?” or if you’re piecing your life back together after being caught in one, you’re not alone. You’re exactly who this platform was made for.
