Both Carl and his wife Laura open up about his affair, his 'inappropriate' relationship with their nanny, her reaction to his betrayal and why she ultimately decided to stay with him in explosive 'The Secrets of Hillsong' documentary (via toofab)
After his firing, Carl went to rehab, where he began to"peel back" the effects of sexual abuse he said he suffered as a child at the hands of a family friend, something he'd never spoken about previously. He drew a line between the abuse and his behavior later in life, saying,"I was told when I was abused, let's not tell anybody about this, this is going to be our secret ... I would learn to hide stuff for no reason, from my parents, I developed a pattern of secrecy.
Toward the end of the documentary, Lentz reveals he's now working at an advertising agency in Sarasota, Florida with his wife and their children. He says they're still"a work in progress," adding that he's"super grateful my circle of five is intact." As for why she stayed with him, she acknowledged"that's a question a lot of people have wanted to ask me" since the scandal.
