Allison Mack's husband turns out to be former neo-Nazi Frank Meeink
Two years after Allison was released from prison, she tied the knot with a man whom Natalie named Frank Meenk— a self-proclaimed former neo-Nazi who was a member of a white supremacist gang — who joined Natalie on the podcast in episode seven.
The former NXIVM member met Frank, who shared his autobiography. Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead that he went to prison at 17 for kidnapping one man and nearly killing another – at a dog park in Los Angeles in February 2024, and the pair connected over a shared interest in prison reform.
“He was like, 'Oh, I'm a speaker,' and I was like, 'What are you talking about?' and he said, 'Oh, just like tolerance and deradicalization and police reform,'” Ellison said. “And I said, ‘No way. I served time and am very passionate about prison reform. This is crazy.”
Since his release from prison, Frank's past has led him to public speaking, civil rights activism and “testifying before a House subcommittee in 2020 about white supremacy in policing,” Natalie said.
But given his life experience, he was able to listen to Allison's involvement in NXIVM without judgment.
“She wasn’t defending anything,” Frank said in the episode. “She was like, ‘Here’s the thing. A lot of women are branded. That's one of the reasons I went to prison.”
Frank added: “I just looked at her and said, 'I'm a former neo-Nazi who kidnapped people. Do you think I have room to judge you? No, I'm not judging you at all.”
