One Tree Hill star Bethany Joy Lenz is speaking out about the harrowing experience of escaping a cult.
Speaking with her former OTH co-stars Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton Morgan on their Drama Queens podcast, Lenz opened up about one of the most difficult periods of her life.
“I was in a cult for 10 years. That would be a really valuable experience to write about. And the recovery — 10 years of recovery after that. So, there’s a lot to tell,” Lenz said, noting that while she’s methodically writing her story, “the pressure of getting [the account] right and everything having to be exactly real, and all the people that are involved” is challenging.
“I don’t know how much I can say because there are still people and legal things in place that make it more complicated for the timing of that,” the 42-year-old actress added.
Living with ADHD, a disorder that has made her feel “misunderstood” all her life, has also kept her from writing of the experience in a more thoughtful way, Lenz explained.
“I write all the time. I have lots of essays and lots of chapters and things, but to really commit to putting it all together [is a struggle], because I would love to write about my experience.”
