According to the group, Rae's family records do not show any Native American heritage, and her family on both sides has identified as white across multiple public records, going back at least six generations.
Rae responded in an interview with Rebecca Sun at the Hollywood Reporter, stating that her family has identified over many generations as having Native American ancestry and that she identifies as an "ally" to the Native American community, and allegedly no longer claims Cherokee heritage, with "public mentions" eliding "any mention of personal Native affiliation for her altogether".
