The ‘Sin City’ actress found solace in the Christian church after feeling rejected by the Latin community because of her multi-ethnic looks
However, after four years of being a born again Christian she quit the faith, because she was accused of deliberately trying to attract men.
She told Elle magazine: “Older men would hit on me and my youth pastor said it was because I was wearing provocative clothing, when I wasn’t.
“It just made me feel, like, if I was in anyway desirable to the opposite sex, that it was my fault, and it made me ashamed of my body and of being a woman.”
The 25-year-old actress also says she could not accept the church’s attitude towards premarital sex and homosexuality.
Speaking about the Bible, she added: “I thought it was a nice guide, but it certainly wasn’t how I was going to live my life.”
