Rachel's parents, Ruthanne and Lawrence Dolezal, said that their daughter is not African-American and has been "disguising" herself as black for many years, according to The Guardian. They claimed she greatly embellished many details of her life. Rachel said she lived in South Africa, that her dad hunted meat with bows and arrows and that she and her siblings were punished with a baboon whip. Her parents said all of these claims are categorically false.

Rachel is married to Kevin Moore, who is African-American and claimed she has a son, but the boy is actually her adopted brother, her parents claimed. According to Gabe Cohen with KHQ News, court documents state that her adopted brother "filed for emancipation from parents b/c of physical punishment among other things," and that she is his legal guardian. CNN reported that this photo is from her wedding reception on May 21, 2000, and that the image shows from left rear, Ruthanne Dolezal, who is Rachel's mother, Rachel's husband, Kevin, Rachel Dolezal, her father Larry Dolezal and her paternal grandparents.

Rachel is the director of the Spokane, Washington NAACP, a position she still holds, despite the scandal. Critics claim that she lied about her race on her application, saying she was Black, Native American and White. The organization is supporting her and released a statement that said, in part, "One's racial identity is not a qualifying criteria or disqualifying standard for NAACP leadership. The NAACP Alaska-Oregon-Washington State Conference stands behind Ms. Dolezal's advocacy record."
