HuffPost
In a podcast appearance, the former “One Tree Hill” actor said that she had to participate to “keep the peace” in her marriage.
Bethany Joy Lenz is getting candid about her days as a member of an insular Christian group called The Big House Family.
Appearing on Wednesday’s episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Lenz opened up about her decadelong involvement with the group, which she readily describes as a cult. It was during that time, the former “One Tree Hill” actor said, that she was pushed into marrying one of the leader’s sons, whom she identifies as “QB.”
Not only did Lenz accuse the group of squandering much of her Hollywood earnings, but she also claimed that leaders put her and her then husband on what she described as a “sex schedule” in an effort to foster a deeper connection between the two.
“Because I was so disinterested in sex, I was then asked to go on a schedule, basically, of like, ‘Here’s how you can — you just have to do it. Just do it. This is your duty. This is your job as a wife. Your emotions will fall in line. If you do it enough, then eventually, you will find a way to enjoy it,’” she told “Call Her Daddy” host Alex Cooper.
“It was a routine that I had to participate in, in order to keep the peace in my marriage.”
