Bethany Joy Lenz Reveals Cult's Impact on Her Acting Career and Personal Life

The actress shares her decade-long experience in a cult, detailing its control over her career and marriage in her new memoir.

Bethany Joy Lenz, known for her role on 'One Tree Hill,' spent ten years in a cult, which significantly influenced her personal and professional life.
Lenz's new memoir, 'Dinner for Vampires,' explores her experiences within the cult and its effect on her marriage to the cult leader's son.
The actress was pressured by the cult to turn down major acting roles, including a chance to play Belle in 'Beauty and the Beast.'
Lenz describes being subjected to a 'sex schedule' in her marriage, which she says led to PTSD and affected her subsequent relationships.
Her book aims to help others recognize red flags of high-control groups and offers insight into how easily one can become entangled in such environments.
