Before she was cast on the early-2000s hit series, “One Tree Hill,” actress Bethany Joy Lenz was already in the clutches of a religious group she calls the “Big House Family.” In her new memoir, “Dinner for Vampires,” Bethany describes the calculated isolation a man named “Les” put her through in order to manipulate her and pilfer over $2 million of money she’d earned.
