Allison Mack’s husband, Frank Meeink, is finally shining a light on his love story with the controversial Smallville alum.
“Me and Allison met at a dog park in our section of town. I had no idea who she was, and she had this pit bull who had, like, a white furrow and beautiful pink skin,” Meeink, 51, shared on the May 27 episode of “The Hidden Third” podcast. “My opening line, which is a little creepy in a way, was like, ‘Hey, your dog has beautiful pink skin.’ … I looked up, and she was like, ‘Thank you.”’
Meeink proceeded to invite Mack, 43, to the Thai restaurant where he was working. She ended up showing up — with her mom.
“I couldn’t stop thinking about her,” Meeink shared before recalling the meal. “We were talking. She asked me what I was into and I said, ‘Well, I’m really into the prison reform. I’m real into fighting against racism and antisemitism.’ And she was like, ‘Oh, I’m formerly incarcerated.’ I didn’t say anything.”
Meeink admitted that he wanted to hear more about Mack’s experience. The actress later emailed him more details.
“Then I googled her,” he told podcast host Mariana Van Zeller, “and I was like, ‘Oh s***.’”
Mack was arrested in April 2018 for allegedly recruiting women to the NXIVM sex cult, along with identity fraud and money laundering.
Mack pleaded guilty to charges of racketeering and racketeering conspiracy. She was sentenced to three years, but was released in July 2023 after spending 21 months behind bars.
In June 2025, Us Weekly confirmed that Mack had gotten married in an “intimate” backyard wedding. Five months later, Mack revealed the identity of her husband in an episode of the “Allison After NXIVM” podcast.
The podcast host, journalist Natalie Robehmed, described Meeink as a “renowned former neo-Nazi” who has been in and out of the prison system since he was 17.
The podcast, which includes interviews with the couple, revealed that Meeink now “works at a nonprofit with unhoused people” and connects them 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 said. “In some ways, Frank is a poster boy for changing your mind.”
In the podcast, Meeink said he held no judgment towards Mack after she revealed her past legal troubles.
“I just looked at her and said, ‘You know, I’m a former neo-Nazi who used to kidnap people?’” Meeink recalled. “Do you think I have any room to judge you? … No, I don’t judge you at all.”
