One Tree Hill's Bethany Joy Lenz Lived In A Cult For 10 Years

Hello Spillers, you're about to hear an interview with One Tree
Hill star Bethany Joy Lenz.


She been in two cults. The first is the cult-classic TV series,
One Tree Hill, where she played the role of Haley for ten years,
alongside cast members Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray.


Yet, what few people knew is that the entire time she was on the
iconic show, she was in another kind of cult - the dangerous,
isolating, manipulative kind.


In this Australian exclusive, she shares her story with Mia
Freedman and explains how she found herself in a cult to begin
with, what it cost her - literally and figuratively - and what
finally helped her find the courage to leave.


Bethany Joy Lenz has written an incredible memoir about her
experience, Dinner For Vampires - you can find it here.
