Allison Mack, once a high-ranking member of the notorious Nxivm cult, has found herself again in the limelight due to her marriage to Frank Meeink, a man with a complicated and controversial past. Five months after their wedding, Meeink’s history as a former neo-Nazi came to light, raising eyebrows and sparking discussions.

On a recent episode of the CBC True Crime podcast “Allison after NXIVM,” journalist Natalie Robehmed shed light on Meeink’s past. She described him as a “renowned former Neo-Nazi,” highlighting his previous extremist affiliations marked visibly by tattoos, including the words “skin head” on his knuckles and a “flaming swastika” on his neck.

Meeink’s past is as tumultuous as it is notorious. According to the podcast, his brushes with the law began early; he served three years in prison for a violent crime committed at the age of 17, when he nearly killed a man. Robehmed detailed his criminal record, noting that he had been incarcerated for offenses like kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon.

However, Meeink’s story takes a turn toward redemption. Robehmed notes that he left the white supremacist movement shortly after his release from prison in the 1990s. Now 50, he has distanced himself from his past, though his history remains a significant part of the narrative surrounding his marriage to Mack.

Robehmed claimed that Meeink, now 50, “left the white supremacist movement” shortly after he was released from prison in the 1990s.

Meeink was interviewed in the podcast and shared that he currently works for a non-profit, helping connect “unhoused people” to resources.

“He does public speaking and civil rights activism on the side, even testifying in front of a House subcommittee in 2020 on white supremacy in policing,” Robehmed explained.

“In some ways, Frank is a poster boy for changing your mind,” she claimed.

Meeink and Mack, 43, met at a dog park in February 2024 and reportedly got engaged that December.

In June, the couple got married during an intimate ceremony in Los Angeles.

Mack was previously married to Nicki Clyne, a Nxivm member, from February 2017 to December 2020.

Clyne, however, told Page Six in 2022 that they had parted ways after Mack’s involvement in the group was revealed in 2018, and she agreed to work with authorities.

The “Ant Bully” star pleaded guilty to convincing women to become sex slaves for the cult’s ring leader, Keith Raniere, in 2019.

At the time, Mack was charged with racketeering and racketeering conspiracy charges, and in June 2021, was sentenced to three years in prison. She was released two years later.

Meanwhile, Raniere is currently serving a 120-year sentence after being convicted on charges including sex trafficking, racketeering and forced labor conspiracy.
