“Revenge” star Christa B. Allen claimed she escaped a cult after her romance with its leader nearly ruined her life.
“How it feels rebuilding your life after being in love with a charismatic wealthy cult leader who burned it to the ground,” she wrote atop a TikTok video that showed her frolicking in grass.
Allen, 33, elaborated more about the situation with an emotional message in the video’s caption.
“let me be very clear: nobody can burn down your life unless you give them access to it. that’s the part I’ve had to own,” she began.
“so I’ve sat with the hardest questions: why did I trust him? why did I hand over my power? why did I silence my own inner knowing? the truth is, he was selling fairytales and from luxurious penthouses and private jets, I foolishly bought in.”
The actress added that her relationship with the unnamed man taught her that “even if you spend every waking moment with someone … you still may not KNOW them.”
“especially when you’re dealing with someone who lies as easily as they breathe,” she continued. “that realization shattered me, but it also forced me to rebuild from the ground up.”
“one day I’ll share the full story, but for now I’m walking forward with feet on solid ground and a heart that knows its strength,” Allen concluded.
Allen also assured one concerned fan in the comments section that despite the “truly horrendous” experience, she is doing “amazing now.”
Reps for Allen were not immediately available to Page Six for comment.
The actress has not been in a public relationship in recent years and has not shared any other details about the alleged cult or its leader.
Back in March, she posted on TikTok that she was moving back to LA after living in Miami for three years and completing a “soul mission.”
Allen was linked to The Game in July 2022 after the two shared a steamy kiss in a since-deleted TikTok video, but the rapper later denied any romantic involvement.
“Christa and I have mutual friends. She attended my Fourth of July party, and I hopped on her TikTok,” he told People at the time. “She’s a beautiful woman, but we’re not dating.”
The “13 Going on 30” star has become a social media star in recent years, garnering 1.8 million followers on TikTok and posting mainly motivational content.
She has also gone viral on several occasions for recreating her character of “young Jenna Rink” from the iconic 2004 rom-com.
