Smallville Star Allison Mack Reveals Identity of Her Husband, Former Neo-Nazi Turned Activist Frank Meeink

Two years after her release from prison, Smallville actress Allison Mack has revealed the identity of her husband, confirming that she quietly married Frank Meeink, a reformed former neo-Nazi who now advocates for civil rights and social change.

According to Us Weekly, Mack, 43, tied the knot in an intimate backyard ceremony held under a traditional Jewish chuppah earlier this year. Photos from the event circulated online in June, but details about the groom remained private — until now.

A Chance Meeting in 2024

In the seventh episode of the “Allison After NXIVM” podcast, journalist Natalie Robehmed recounted how Mack and Meeink first met in February 2024 while Mack was walking her dog. She described Meeink as “an attractive, heavily tattooed man in his late 40s with slicked-back hair.”

Meeink, now 50, has a well-documented past. He was previously involved with white supremacist groups and served time in prison for kidnapping and assault when he was 17. However, during his incarceration, Meeink began to deradicalize and left extremist movements behind in the 1990s.

From Extremism to Advocacy

Today, Meeink works at a nonprofit organization that assists unhoused individuals and connects them to community resources. He also engages in public speaking and activism, focusing on tolerance, inclusion, and police reform.

“He even testified before a U.S. House subcommittee in 2020 on white supremacy in policing,” Robehmed noted. “In many ways, Frank is a symbol of how people can change.”

A Connection Built on Redemption

Mack shared that after meeting Meeink, she visited the Thai restaurant where he worked and was surprised by how welcoming he was. “He told the staff to call him ‘boss’ just to impress me,” Mack recalled with a laugh.

The two bonded over shared interests in prison reform and personal transformation. On their first date, Mack opened up about her own controversial past involving the NXIVM organization.

“I told him everything,” Mack said. “And I asked if he judged me.”

Meeink replied:

“I’m a former neo-Nazi who used to kidnap people. Do you think I have any room to judge you?”

Finding Common Ground in Change

Mack was arrested in April 2018 for her role in NXIVM and later pleaded guilty to racketeering and racketeering conspiracy. She was sentenced to three years in prison and released after serving 21 months in July 2023.

Meeink told Robehmed that his experience working with people leaving extremist or criminal environments gave him empathy for Mack’s journey.

“People don’t understand what it’s like when you’re stuck in something that validates you,” Meeink explained. “It’s hard to get out — but it’s possible.”
