A former actress who was convicted in a sex cult scandal has confirmed her marriage to a ‘former neo-Nazi’.
Allison Mack, 43, found fame as Chloe Sullivan on the superhero series Smallville, which ran from 2001 to 2011.
In April 2018, the German-born actress was arrested in connection with allegations that she was a recruiter of women for the NXIVM sex cult.
Three years later, she was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to racketeering and racketeering conspiracy charges related to her time in the sex cult NXIVM.
After entering a guilty plea, she served 21 months before being released in July 2023.
Now, however, she has revealed that she has wed Frank Meeink in a Jewish ceremony five months ago in an ‘intimate’ backyard ceremony in Los Angeles, according to US Weekly.
Meeink, 50, was a former white supremacist who left his skinhead gang in the US after a three-year stint in prison and now lectures against it.
In 2010 he also wrote the book ‘Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead’ about his descent into America’s Nazi underground and his ultimate triumph over drugs and hatred.
Speaking on her Allison After NXIVM podcast, Mack – who was previously wed to actress Nicki Clyne, 42, from 2017 until 2020 – explained how she first met Meeink in February 2024 while she was ‘walking her dog.’
She described her ‘former neo-Nazi’ husband as ‘an attractive, heavily tattooed guy in his late 40s with slick back hair’ who had been in trouble with the law since he was a teenager.
She went on to say on her podcast that she told him ‘everything’ about her time in NXIVM after their first date.
She subsequently asked Meeink if he held her past against her.
He replied: ‘I just looked at her and said, you know, I’m a former neo-Nazi who used to kidnap people. Do you think I have any room to judge you? No, I don’t judge you at all.’
While in custody in the 1990s, Meeink renounced his racist beliefs, finished his prison sentence and left the white supremacist movement for good.
He now focuses his efforts into public speaking and civil rights activism and stood in front of a house subcommittee in 2020 on white supremacy in policing, according to journalist Natalie Robehmed, who co-hosts the podcast centered on Mack’s past.
Meeink said during the podcast: ‘From the work that I’ve done with former jihadists, former gangbangers, former neo-Nazis, I mean, I’ve worked in that world for a long time; I think people don’t understand what it’s like when you get stuck in something like that. And it’s the one thing that validates you. It’s hard to get out.’
The podcast Allison After NXIVM comes out each Tuesday.
