Bachelor Madison Prewett reveals battle with porn and masturbation addiction as she 'tried to live for Jesus'
Bachelor #24 runner-up Madison Prewett Troutt revealed how she overcame her addictions to porn and masturbation, which 'had been a struggle' as far back as middle school. 'I was about 13 years old. I went over to a friend's house and her parents weren't around and she turned on this show that was extremely inappropriate,' the 29-year-old new mother recalled on her Stay True Podcast on Monday. 'Literally everyone was naked and it was like The Bachelor but, like, way worse and everyone was naked and everyone was trying to like fight for this like one woman's attention and and it was all about like sex and sexual relationships.' Madi continued: 'My body started feeling things that I had never felt before and I started wondering things that I'd never wondered before and then desiring it and then wanting it and and so I left that time with my friend like genuinely so curious about that and wanting it more.' Prewett's yearnings prompted her to search the Internet for X-rated content promising 'satisfaction and pleasure' and 'maybe it did for a moment but then as soon as the moment ended I felt so much shame and I was living in secret shame.' 'I was about 13 years old. I went over to a friend's house and her parents weren't around and she turned on this show that was extremely inappropriate,' the 29-year-old new mother recalled on her Stay True Podcast on Monday 'I questioned my worth and my identity. Every time I gave into sexual sin, I didn't know my purpose,' the Alabama-born brunette explained. 'I was not able to break free until I brought other people into it, until I stopped letting the enemy run my life with living in secrecy and living in isolation.' Madi continued: 'Thankfully, by the grace of God and by the power of Godly community and people around me, I have been free from porn and masturbation for — I don't even know — 10 years. But that was something that enslaved me and marked me for so long.' Prewett and her husband of two years, pastor Grant Troutt, welcomed their first child, five-month-old daughter Hosanna Rose Troutt, on January 20. It's hard to believe it's only been five years since Delta Air Lines pilot Peter Weber dumped his winning fiancée Hannah Ann Sluss for the former foster parent recruiter, who split from him just three days after the ABC dating competition's finale. The Bachelorette has four winning couples still together, and the odds are much better on Bachelor in Paradise where 10 winning couples remain together.

Reality star opens up on her masturbation addiction struggle and reveals ‘shame' over porn habit
BACHELOR beauty Madison Prewett has confessed she battled a secret addiction to porn and masturbation and says it left her feeling ashamed. The Christian influencer revealed she was "enslaved" by "sin" and claimed God helped her overcome her addiction. 5 The US reality star, 29, made the shock confession on her Stay True podcast. She opened up about her private struggle, which she says began when she was a teenager. 'That was something that enslaved me and marked me for so long,' Madi said. 'Thankfully, by the grace of God and by the power of Godly community and people around me, I have been free from porn and masturbation for, I don't even know, 10 years.' Madi said the habit took root after she was exposed to sexual content as a teen. She said: 'I had already had moments of being curious about things and having certain feelings or wondering certain things or fantasizing about certain things. 'I had not told that to anyone. 'I went over to a friend's house and her parents weren't around and she turned on this show that was extremely inappropriate.' She described feeling 'desire' for the first time and said the experience triggered years of shame, even as she tried to stay true to her faith. 'No matter how much I loved Jesus, I could not shake that sin,' she said. Bachelor star Madi Prewett sells Texas mansion for $1.1m & moves to Nashville with husband before arrival of first child 'I questioned my worth and my identity. Every time I gave into sexual sin, I didn't know my purpose.' Madi came second on The Bachelor in 2020 after Peter ditched fiancée Hannah Ann Sluss, and briefly reunited with him before things fizzled out. She's since found love with speaker and minister Grant Troutt, tying the knot in 2022. The pair welcomed their first child, daughter Hosanna Rose, in January. The Sun revealed she sold her Texas mansion shortly before the birth. According to real estate records obtained by The U.S. Sun, Madi and her husband Grant officially sold their home on December 11, 2024. The pair scored $1.125 million for the 5 bedroom, 6 bathroom Tudor-style house - which was their very first home as a married couple.
