“Dinner for Vampires: Life on a Cult TV Show (While also in an Actual Cult!),” talked about how she was involved with the ultra-Christian organization the Big House Family, which she has called a “cult.” “I was using religion as my benchmark,” Lenz writes in her book. “My budding friendship with sweet Sophia became a casualty of this and instead of sitting shiva for my ego, I really f–king wish I could turn back time, walk into her trailer, and give her a long, hard hug.”She continues, “as bubbly and compassionate as she was, she was even more intelligent… Her mind could have been put to good use by NASA — except, of course, she’s so beautiful the astronauts would never want to leave Earth.”Lenz added, “I failed to notice that she was also trying hard.”“One Tree Hill” was a teen drama that aired from 2003 to 2012 on the WB and then the CW.

Aside from Lenz and Bush, it also starred Hilarie Burton, Chad Michael Murray and James Lafferty. Before she got on the show, an exec told her manager to give her a message. “You tell her this show is about f–king and sucking and if she’s gonna have a problem with that, she shouldn’t come in tomorrow,'” Lenz recalls in her book.

The actress would eventually leave the Big House Family after welcoming her daughter, Rosie, in 2011, with ex-husband Michael Galeotti Jr., who was also in the cult.

Bush, 42, meanwhile, was briefly married to Murray. She’s dating former soccer player Ashlyn Harris.Bush was “frequently favored and constantly underestimated in life because of her beauty.
