In denial no longer, 'One Tree Hill' star Bethany Joy Lenz wrote 'Dinner for Vampires,' her memoir about her cult past
“I’m sure there’s some bulls— answer I could give, but I just don’t think I was famous enough for people to care about it, to be honest,” Bethany Joy Lenz says of her involvement in what she calls a small religious cult while she was starring in the CW hit “One Tree Hill.” During a Zoom call from the sun-drenched porch of her Nashville home, she says her affiliation with the Big House Family was an open secret with castmates by the time she was able to extricate herself from it in 2012.
” Lenz could have easily just limited awareness of her experiences to her inner circle and the occasional Hollywood mixer, where she writes that she experimented with telling some of her peers. But, she says, “I weighed my desire for privacy and anonymity with my desire to see redemption at the end of this story and to be able to help people. The latter outweighed the former.” In telling her story, she says her goal is to inspire faith in others.
