Colman Domingo Confesses He Almost Joined a Cult in Mexico City – And It Wasn’t the Scariest Part
Sage Matthews here, and if you’re reading this at 2:47 AM with half a cold brew sloshing in your mug and a growing sense of dread that the world is just one poorly timed social media post away from collapse, then welcome. You’re not alone. The universe has once again confirmed its commitment to absurdity by delivering a story so bizarre it should’ve been written as satire but instead made it into the mainstream. Colman Domingo—actor, activist, and man who somehow still hasn’t been eaten by a zombie in *Euphoria*—has revealed he nearly joined a cult during a vacation in Mexico City. Yes, you read that right. A cult. Not a wellness retreat. Not a meditation group. A full-blown, “we all love each other and must never leave” kind of cult. And the kicker? He didn’t even realize it was happening until it was almost too late.
During his August 19 appearance on Josh Scherer’s *Last Meals*, Domingo dropped this bombshell with the casualness of someone discussing traffic delays. “I almost joined a cult in Mexico City,” he said, as if recounting a particularly bad taco order. “But that’s another story.” Another story? That’s not how this works. That’s the kind of line you give when you’re trying to bury something so damning it could be used in a documentary about societal collapse. He described the group as “nice people”—which, let’s be honest, is always the first red flag. Nice people are either saints or predators in disguise. And in this case, they were clearly the latter, because within minutes of their charm offensive, Domingo felt the subtle shift. “I was like, ‘Wait a minute, this is weird.’”
He didn’t elaborate on how he met them—was it a shared yoga class? A spiritual workshop disguised as a cooking demo? A free dinner with a side of emotional manipulation? We may never know. But what we do know is that his instincts kicked in. “What’s up with you guys?” he asked, and suddenly, the vibe changed. The smiles stayed, but the warmth vanished, replaced by a quiet insistence that felt less like invitation and more like recruitment. After some discreet research, he realized: “Oh, that’s a cult.” Classic move. The moment you start questioning whether everyone’s idea of “community” involves mandatory morning chants and no contact with the outside world, you’re already in. Or close enough.
Even host Josh Scherer admitted he’d had a similar brush with doom. “I was about to talk to a cult the other day,” he confessed. “Then they tried to get me to join.” His response? “Don’t mess with cults, man. Don’t be the person that talks to too many people.” Which, honestly, sounds like the most sensible survival tactic since “don’t trust anyone with a LinkedIn profile.”
Domingo, ever the realist, acknowledged the irony. He lives in a secluded area for privacy—ironic, given that the biggest threat to his peace wasn’t paparazzi, but a group of people who wanted him to stop being himself. Still, he insists on staying connected. “I make active choices to work out at a gym where there’s a lot of people,” he said. “You can’t tell stories about humanity without being around people.” So yes, while he narrowly avoided becoming a cult member, he’s still willing to risk exposure to actual humans. Because nothing says “I’m alive” like sweating next to strangers in a fluorescent-lit gym. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if the gym itself was secretly part of a cult. But hey, at least it’s not *that* cult.
Anyway, can’t wait to see how this gets worse.
