Bethany Joy Lenz Opens Up About Decade in Cult in New Memoir

In 'Dinner for Vampires,' the 'One Tree Hill' star recounts her experience with The Big House Family, aiming to offer insight and hope to others.

Bethany Joy Lenz, known for her role on 'One Tree Hill,' spent a decade in a cult called The Big House Family, which she details in her upcoming memoir 'Dinner for Vampires.'
The cult, led by a domineering minister, manipulated and abused Lenz, draining millions from her TV income.
Lenz's recovery and decision to leave the cult were influenced by her desire to protect her daughter and the support from her 'One Tree Hill' co-stars.
The memoir aims to share Lenz's journey of forgiveness and provide insight into how manipulation works, with a mix of heartache and humor.
Lenz hopes her story will remind others that they are not alone, no matter the challenges they face.
