The husband of has spoken publicly for the first time about their relationship, nearly a year after they tied the knot.

opened up about how the couple - who each served three-year prison sentences for different crimes - first met during an appearance on The Hidden Third podcast with Maria van Zeller.

Mack, 44, who rose to fame as Chloe on the hit TV series, was a high-ranking member of NXIVM, the notorious sex-trafficking cult in upstate New York. She pleaded guilty to racketeering and conspiracy and was sentenced in 2021.

Meeink’s run-in with the law came nearly 30 years earlier, when, as a 17-year-old member of a violent skinhead group, he kidnapped a man at gunpoint. While in custody, he renounced his racist beliefs.

‘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,’ he began. 

‘My opening line, which is a little creepy in a way, it was like, “Hey, your dog has beautiful pink skin. Right? Being that I'm a former racist, it came off…. and I looked up and she was like, “Thank you.”’

He reportedly responded: ‘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.’

Mack also described her husband as ‘an attractive, heavily tattooed guy in his late 40s with slick back hair’ and a ‘former neo-Nazi’ who has been in and out of legal trouble since his teens.

Podcast host Natalie Robehmed also noted that Meeink now ‘does public speaking and civil rights activism on the side’ and previously took the stand ‘in front of a house subcommittee in 2020 on white supremacy in policing.’

On the same podcast, Meeink reflected on his broader work, saying: ‘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 2018 over allegations that she had been recruiting women for NXIVM, the notorious cult that often branded members with the letters KR - the initials of leader Raniere.

She helped bring women into a secretive NXIVM subgroup called Dominus Obsequious Sororium, which was marketed as a female empowerment society but, as the federal court later heard, was actually designed to traffic women for sex with Raniere.

On the podcast, Mack admitted she had used her Smallville fame to further the cult’s goals, calling it ‘a power tool that I had to get people to do what I wanted.’ 

‘So we were talking, she asked me what I was into, you know, and I said, “well, I'm really in the prison reform. I'm real into fighting against racism and antisemitism. And, she was like, "Oh, I'm formerly incarcerated"'

Mack found fame as Chloe Sullivan on the hit TV show Smallville which ran from 2001 to 2011

She added that her celebrity was ‘very effective in moving Keith’s vision forward.’

Although she had been described as Raniere’s second-in-command, Mack eventually cut a plea deal, and her testimony helped secure the cult leader a 120-year prison sentence. 

She had initially faced up to life in prison on charges including sex trafficking and forced labor conspiracy.

In the end, she served just 21 months and was released in July 2023.
