Y&R: Who the was the leader of Nikki's cult?

It's a complete rewrite

Ian Ward was never part of the cult, but back then she did sleep with the leader. Secondly, Nikki was not some schoolgirl, she was in her early 20's when they jointed the cult and a consenting adult when she screwed Ian, it was not rape it was straight up consentual sex between them, she only felt burned when she learned he was with other woman.

Ian Ward may be scum but he never raped Nikki.

Edit: To the person below me you need to do some research, Nikki joined the cult in 1980, she was born in 1960 (according to soapcentral) making her 20 years old at the time of joining, so no she wasn't a teenager at the time but of course she show is choosing to rewrite history as they go along, and no Ian Ward was not even a character when she was really in the cult it was some guy named Sakuimoa... again what you are seeing now never actually went down back in 1980 on screen.

Back in the day there was cult called New World Brotherhood run by Sumiko ..... no there was no Ian Ward back then ..... just a rewrite to fit into the s/l.

River Baldwin, Michaels father actor Michael Gross/Family Ties played a guru at an ashram ..... I think Y&R has done enough of the cult s/l"s.

To me this was all made up. Ian Ward was the head. Not sure what James was referring to. She was younger than 20 years old perhaps 16.

Now they are saying it is Ian Ward. Maybe the other guy was just a front for Ian.

I thought that was too, but the writers are changing things around so now it is Ian Ward.

I think he is hiding something..we'll have to wait and see.
