as "the right people at the wrong time." Allan became a born-again Christian in 1994. She returned to South Africa two years later at the urging of her then-partner, Mario Oriani-Ambrosini, an IFP MP and Italian expatriate. She emigrated to the United States in 2001. The following year she married Dr. Peter Kulish, an American proponent of biomagnetic therapy. The couple divorced in 2005. After their divorce, Allan worked as a waitress in New Jersey. In July 2017, Allan wrote a widely circulated column about her financial situation and ageism in the workplace. Her column was republished by BizNews and widely quoted in the South African press. Allan appeared on the front page of both the Sunday Times and Beeld newspaper. Her former newspaper devoted page three to their former columnist. In August, Huisgenoot published a profile on Allan. In response, Allan's fans rallied around her and started a GoFundMe to support Allan financially, raising over US$4000 for the columnist. Eugène Terre'Blanche and libel case In December 1987 she was asked at an editorial conference to "go and have tea" with the right-wing militant Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging leader Eugène Terre'Blanche.

Despite claiming that she became the "heroine of the newsroom" for her frankness, she later told the Sunday Times journalist Stuart Wavell that she regretted describing Terre'Blanche in these terms, not realising the political veneration that would be read into them. She pointed towards the lack of knowledge she had about Adolf Hitler's personality cult: "It sounds farfetched, but we are only taught South African history at school." Although Wavell identified that the words were not significant compared to her other material; "a perusal of her interviews shows a fondness for such extravagant language." Allan later told a journalist that "From the moment that interview was published, my life was over. It has destroyed my career in South Africa." Meanwhile, she accompanied the AWB to some of their rallies and
