One Tree Hill actor Bethany Joy Lenz has revealed how being on the show helped save her from a cult.In an interview with Variety, Lenz spoke candidly about her ordeal after she had earlier admitted on her podcast to having been in a cult for ten years while on One Tree Hill. According to the actress, her castmates and the crew all knew, “It was the whisper behind the scenes, like, ‘You know, she’s in a cult.’ For a while, they were all trying to save me and rescue me, which is lovely and so amazing to be cared about in that way. But I was very stubborn. I was really committed to what I believed were the best choices I could make,” she said.Lenz spoke about how the cult operated and alienated her from those closest to her, including her One Tree Hill co-stars, “The nature of a group like that is isolation; they have to make you distrust everyone around you so that the only people you trust are, first and foremost, the leadership and then, people within the group if the leadership approves of them, and isn’t in the middle of pitting you against each other, which happens all the time also. It built a deep wedge of distrust between me and my cast and crew,” she revealed. “As much as I loved them and cared about them, there was a fundamental thought, if I’m in pain, if I’m suffering, I can’t go to any of these people. So you feel incredibly lonely,” Lenz added.RELATED: Why Hilarie Burton Left One Tree Hill
