Disgraced Smallville actress Allison Mack has confirmed she wed former neo-Nazi Frank Meeink in a Jewish ceremony five months ago.
The German-born actress tied the knot with Meeink in a backyard ceremony in Los Angeles in June that a source described to US Weekly as 'intimate.'
Mack, 43, who found fame as Chloe Sullivan on the hit TV show, explained on her Allison After NXIVM podcast that she first met Meeink in February 2024 while she was 'walking her dog.'
She described her husband as 'an attractive, heavily tattooed guy in his late 40s with slick back hair' and 'former neo-Nazi' who'd been in legal trouble since his teens.
Meeink invited her to visit the Thai restaurant where he was working as a waiter and she went with her mother.
'He had told the whole staff that I was going to be coming in sometime this week and to call him boss because he wanted them to make it look like he was more important in the restaurant than he was,' the former actress recalled. Mack sai
While in custody in the 1990s, Meeink renounced his racist beliefs, finished his prison sentence, and 'left the white supremacist movement' for good, said journalist Natalie Robehmed, who hosts the podcast centered on Mack's past.
Mack, 43, who was previously wed to actress Nicki Clyne, 42, from 2017–2020, explained the course of events that led to her finding love again.
Meeink now focuses his efforts into working 'at a nonprofit with unhoused people,' Robehmed said, and described him as 'a poster boy for changing your mind.'
Meeink also 'does public speaking and civil rights activism on the side' and took the stand 'in front of a house subcommittee in 2020 on white supremacy in policing,' Robehmed said.
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.'
Authorities arrested Mack in April of 2018 in connection with allegations she was a recruiter of women for the NXIVM sex cult.
In 2021, Mack 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.
Mack subsequently entered a guilty plea to racketeering, and racketeering conspiracy. She was released from the Federal Correctional Institution, Dublin, in California in July 2023 after serving 21 months behind bars.
Mack explained on her podcast that she had told Meeink 'everything' about her time in NXIVM after their first date. She subsequently asked Meeink if he held her past against her.
Meeink said, '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.'
The podcast Allison After NXIVM comes out each Tuesday, with CBC True Crime users having early access to the shows.
