Carl Lentz’ Wife Laura Details PTSD Over Fallout from Husband Carl Lentz’ Adultery
Laura Lentz, wife of disgraced former pastor Carl Lentz, has opened up on Instagram about the hardships she endured over the last year, after it was revealed that her husband Lentz engaged in several extra-marital affairs, putting the couple and their marital struggles directly in the international public spotlight.
Though it was initially believed that her husband’s only sexual infidelity was with designer Ranin Karim, the couple’s former nanny and now a pastor at Hillsong Boston, Leona Kimes, also alleges that Lentz sexually assaulted her for over 7 years. She claims that when she finally spoke up, she told Laura, who bullied her and terminated her for her troubles, explaining:
When his wife sat me down, she told me that I should repent and dismissed me from all of my duties in the house. I’d been fired from their family, but not from their staff. I felt like it was my fault, leaving me full of shame. I wasn’t given another role, and thought we could resolve it, though I wasn’t sure how. I just knew we were all going to keep quiet.
As far as public statements, Lentz and her husband have been very silent over the last year, with Carl being off social media altogether. In her first real comment about it, Laura revealed that the last year gave her PTSD-like experiences.
“this past year was a doozy for our family. i have dealt with so much personally, i have never experienced anxiety or PTSD until this year! i have struggled with a mild depression for many years, but this year it got to be so bad that there were days i didn’t want to get out of bed... although i wouldn’t wish my journey on my worst enemy (i apparently have a few), i would not change my story!!..don’t get me wrong it’s not easy, everyday i feel the trauma, the thoughts and memories. and geez am i grateful for my therapists! We all have scars from many of life’s experiences, and i am choosing to see mine as “BEAUTIFUL”..”

Furthermore, in a separate post, she shared that she starting is a new career as an interior designer, far away from the pastorate.
This is good news, as not only is she thoroughly unqualified, but as one of the primary leaders of Hillsong NYC during its heyday, she oversaw the years of spoils, excesses, and scandals, benefitting from all the bad behavior that was going on at the church and being fully complicit in it.
Two documentary tv series based on the fall of Hillsong and Carl Lentz are currently in the works.
