One Tree Hill star Bethany Joy Lenz says she got pulled into a religious cult for nearly the entire run of the show, crediting the cast for trying their hardest to 'rescue' her from it (via toofab)
She also offered some advice as to how to be there for someone in this situation."Somebody's walking into it, they're walking in for a reason. There's something that's filling a need, it's filling a void and the best thing that you can do is just build a trust with that person," she said.
"Sometimes, it's a long haul and you've just gotta keep showing up and you cannot give them a reason to cut you out of their life, because they will in a second," she added. She doesn't believe anyone could have talked her out of it, but having people outside of the cult's influence still in her life certainly helped her keep some perspective.
As for why she's opening up about it now, Lenz says it's in hopes that she can make a difference for someone else."What good are our painful experiences if we just lock them away and pretend like everything's perfect?" she asked."That's not doing anybody any good." "I just want to squeeze every ounce of help out of this experience," she emphasized."I want this experience to just be the f--king biggest lemon I ever had. Let me fucking squeeze out all the juice for everybody else -- we're gonna make some lemonade."
