Within the traditional physique swap/time journey film, Jennifer Garner performs the grown up model of her after making a want. However the OG that made us love the character first? The true factor? That was Christa.
Nevertheless, whereas she could also be frozen in time within the hearts of filmgoers, her life has gone on. Heck, she’s even had time to cross 30 IRL! And her actual life has apparently been fairly rattling dramatic currently…

The actress — now 33 years outdated — posted an alarming video to her TikTok late final week, with a declaration over a video of her dancing and twirling within the solar:
“the way it feels rebuilding your life after being in love with a charismatic rich cult chief who burned it to the bottom”
We’re sorry, what?!? She was relationship a “rich cult chief”?! What within the heck is occurring, Miss Rink??

We’re so glad she’s apparently feeling wild and free and glad now, as evidenced by the video. However what occurred to her? Who was this man??
Christa stated a bit extra in her caption, writing:
“Let me be very clear: no one can burn down your life except you give them entry to it. that’s the half I’ve needed to personal. So I’ve sat with the toughest questions: why did I belief him? Why did I hand over my energy? Why did I silence my very own internal figuring out? The reality is, he was promoting fairytales and from luxurious penthouses and personal jets, I foolishly purchased in.”
So this man lured her in along with his cash and his lavish life-style… However was a cult chief?? Is she being hyperbolic there?? As a result of most of this feels like a controlling, dishonest jerk greater than like… you already know, a full-on spiritual grifter. She continued:
“What I discovered is that even when you spend each waking second with somebody— finding out, consuming, touring, working, constructing, dreaming— you continue to could not KNOW them. particularly whenever you’re coping with somebody who lies as simply as they breathe. That realization shattered me, nevertheless it additionally compelled me to rebuild from the bottom up. And fireplace can also be cleaning.”

Feels like a foul boyfriend for certain. However cult chief? Effectively, perhaps there was one thing truly cultish about this man? Dive a bit deeper into her Instagram feed, and there’s various what she refers to as “woo-woo” content material, like speaking about “miracles” and being on a “soul mission” and being “luminous fragments of the Divine”:
OK, that does sound a bit like she may very well be below the affect of a culty man. A number of days in the past she posted to her TikTok:
“When the ‘non secular’ man you have been relationship compelled you to stop your job as a result of he promised to maintain you… then left you with zero earnings whereas dishonest and sleeping round with numerous ladies whereas mendacity about all of it…”
Yeesh!
Once more, now we have to ask… Who is that this man??
Again in 2020, Christa introduced that she bought engaged to her musical associate, producer Johnny What. However two years later, she posted a video getting extraordinarily sensitive with rapper The Sport — and when followers demanded extra context, she stated merely that she was “a single girl doing single girl issues.” Not a relationship, just a few enjoyable.
So sooner or later previously three years she bought concerned with a wealthy man who apparently handled her terribly! Terrible to listen to, although once more — she says she’s free now, so phew!
