Ellie Kemper, the actress best known for her roles in The Office and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, is facing criticism after a photo resurfaced of her participating in a pageant ball believed to have ties to the Ku Klux Klan.
The 1999 photo shows the 41-year-old actress being named the queen of the Veiled Prophet Ball in in St. Louis. In 1878, the ball was created when grain executive and former Confederate cavalryman Charles Slayback called a meeting of local elites. The planned secret society formed into as a fair honoring the ritual of Mardi Gras and has been tied to allegations of White supremacy.
