In the drama series Tyler Perry's Ruthless, a woman tries to escape from the sex cult that she was forced into by her mother. The series is a spin off of the drama series The Oval. Both series come from the company led by prolific producer Tyler Perry. In a backdoor pilot during the first three episodes of The Oval, Ruth Truesdale (Melissa L. Williams) kidnaps her daughter Callie to join her and the sex-crazed members of the Rakudushis cult. Ruth is a devoted member of the Rakadushi cult. After helping to severely punish her rebellious, best friend Tally, she becomes an "Elder," a high ranking member of the cult. However, in order to be initiated into the position of Elder, she was required to be gang raped by seven high ranking cult members, including Andrew and Dikhan, in the presence of The Highest. After being gang raped, Ruth no longer wants to be a member of the cult and began planning an escape, along with her best friend, Tally.
