How Bethany Joy Lenz’s Daughter Inspired Leaving “Cult” After 10 Years

How Bethany Joy Lenz's Daughter Inspired Leaving “Cult” After 10 Years

As a lifestyle expert, I find Bethany Joy Lenz’s journey incredibly inspiring. Her courage to leave a seemingly entangled web of personal and professional relationships for the sake of her daughter is a testament to her strength and resilience. It’s heartwarming to see how she prioritizes her child’s well-being, making me believe that indeed, motherhood comes with a unique blend of love, freedom, and responsibility.


Bethany Joy Lenz is thanking her daughter for giving her motherhood and freedom. 

Previously associated with the television series “One Tree Hill,” the actress revealed that it was her 13-year-old daughter, Rosie, who motivated her decision to depart from The Big House Family organization, an entity she had earlier described as having cult-like characteristics. Her memoir, titled “Dinner for Vampires: Living on Cult TV (Simultaneously in a Real Cult),” was released on October 22.

Bethany shared on the October 22 edition of Good Morning America that she departed due to a need related to her daughter, and added, “It was simply time.

43-year-old she, who has a daughter named Rosie with her former husband Michael Galeotti Jr., mentioned that the arrival of her baby girl helped her understand the complexity of her circumstances.

Bethany reflected, ‘I found myself thinking, “Why do I let others treat me poorly, and what’s wrong with me? But I swear, I won’t stand for this happening to her.” Then she declared, ‘We need to leave.’

As the publication date for her memoir approached, Bethany has been open about sharing the atrocities she faced within the religious group established by her ex-father-in-law, Michael Galeotti Sr.

Bethany, who joined the group at only 20 years old and now reflects back to People earlier this month, emphasized how significant the consequences were for her. “They were my sole companions,” she said, “I’d married into this group, I had constructed my entire life around it. If I admitted that I was mistaken—my entire world would crumble down.

Additionally, as the actress departed from the Big House Family due to Rosie, her former spouse (divorced in 2012 after seven years of matrimony) has voiced concerns about her memoir, arguing that it could potentially create complications for their shared child.

As I ponder over this memoir even after all these years, I shared with the Daily Mail during an interview on October 22nd, “I find myself utterly baffled by it all.” You see, I have a precious daughter who holds a special place in my heart. The last thing I wish is for this to impact her in any way. It’s just too much to bear. Frankly, I don’t want to stir up any trouble that might affect her.

TopMob News has attempted to contact representatives for Bethany concerning Michael’s remarks, but we have not received a response as of now.

Even though it’s been over a decade since her divorce, Bethany maintains a degree of empathy for her former spouse and the circumstances of his upbringing.

She shared, during the October 16th episode of “Call Her Daddy,” that it’s truly unfortunate due to his circumstances: he was brought up by a narcissist, forced into a marriage with an unsuitable partner, and is making the most out of a difficult situation.
