One Tree Hill alum Bethany Joy Lenz opens up about her experience in a cult in her new memoir Dinner for Vampires.
The actress promoted her memoir on her Instagram with the caption, “Dinner for Vampires, my memoir about the decade I spent in an abusive, high-demand group (aka, cult) is on presale now . . .”
The memoir follows Lenz’s life on the teen drama One Tree Hill where the actress began a “secret double life.” Lenz, who dealt with loneliness and “[wanting] a place to belong” found comfort in a Bible study group. However, things took a more sinister turn.
Lenz details her move to the Pacific Northwest with the church and being convinced by the “domineering minister” to marry one of his sons.
Lenz spent over a decade with the cult until she became a mother. Lenz says it was then that she had the courage to escape.
Lenz said she is still a follower of God after her experiences. “So many people are being misled in the name of a God I love and cherish,” she said. “I feel I have a responsibility to speak up for anyone willing to hear it.”
In 2017, Lenz came forward with other actresses to accuse One Tree Hill‘s showrunner of sexual harassment.
