One Tree Hill star reveals cult stole her earnings as she opens up on 10 years of 'abuse' and 'fear'
Bethany Joy Lenz, who starred as Haley in teen drama series One Tree Hill, has spoken about the years of ‘abuse’ she suffered as a member of a religious cult during filming of the hit show
From 2003 until 2012, Bethany starred alongside Chad Michael Murray, Sophia Bush, Hilarie Burton and James Lafferty in the drama series set in the fictional North Carolina town of Tree Hill. However, in an interview with People to promote her book, Bethany has revealed that at the same time she was achieving stardom, she was devoted to a small ultra-Christian group run by a pastor in Idaho who controlled her career, her life decisions and even her bank account. After nearly a decade (and with the unlikely help of a One Tree Hill superfan), she finally managed to escape the family’s grip and begin to heal from the deep trauma that forever altered her relationship with God and her understanding of faith.”
