“Little known fact about Michelle Pfeiffer: She was in a cult, once.

The three-time Oscar nominee, who was most recently seen alongside Robert De Niro in Luc Besson’s mob comedy “The Family,” told The Sunday Telegraph’s Stella magazine that she was manipulated by a “very controlling” couple of “kind of personal trainers” during her early days in Hollywood.

“They worked with weights and put people on diets. Their thing was vegetarianism,” Pfeiffer said. “They were very controlling. I wasn’t living with them but I was there a lot and they were always telling me I needed to come more. I had to pay for all the time I was there, so it was financially very draining.””* Cenk Uygur, comedian Dave Rubin (The Rubin Report) and comedian Jimmy Dore (TYT Comedy) break it down on The Young Turks.
