“13 Going on 30” star Christa B. Allen revealed that she left a cult after ending her romance with its leader.
In the caption, Allen further detailed her experience with her former boyfriend, whom she did not name.
“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 wrote.
Allen continued, “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 actress reflected on her ex, recalling how he dazzled her with his lavish lifestyle but later showed himself to be deceptive.
“The truth is, he was selling fairytales and from luxurious penthouses and private jets, I foolishly bought in,” Allen wrote.
“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,” she continued. “Especially when you’re dealing with someone who lies as easily as they breathe.”
Allen promised her fans that she would share more details about her experience in the future.
“That realization shattered me, but it also forced me to rebuild from the ground up. And fire is also cleansing,” Allen added.
Allen promised her fans that she would reveal more details about her experience in the future but currently plans to focus on the next chapter of her life.
“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,” she wrote.
In a TikTok video that she shared on Aug. 19, Allen appeared to refer to her ex, accusing him of infidelity.

,”But then you remember — he knows the laws of the universe, and the universe don’t miss,” she added.
