13 Going on 30 star Christa B. Allen is opening up about a new phase of her life.

 

Allen wrote on IG, "How it feels rebuilding your life after being in love with a charismatic wealthy cult leader who burned it to the ground."

 

She expanded on the video in the caption, writing, "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."

 

"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?" she continued. "The truth is, he was selling fairytales and from luxurious penthouses and private jets, I foolishly bought in."

 

The actress continued, "What I learned is that even if you spend every waking moment with someone— studying, eating, traveling, working, building, dreaming— you still may not KNOW them. Especially when you're dealing with someone who lies as easily as they breathe."

 

"That realization shattered me, but it also forced me to rebuild from the ground up. And fire is also cleansing," she said.

    That's crazy

    I thought it was going to be the neighbor in the elevator. 

    Her casting was really great. She even grew up looking almost like Jennifer.
