‘Bachelor’ alum Madi Prewett admits she struggled to ‘break free from porn and masturbation’ addictions

“Bachelor” alum Madi Prewett admitted she once struggled to “break free” form her addictions to porn and masturbation.

“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,” the TV personality said on her “Stay True” podcast Tuesday.

 “That was something that enslaved me and marked me for so long.”

“No matter how much I loved Jesus, I could not shake that sin. I could not break free from porn and masturbation,” Prewett, 29, added.

The podcaster shared that her addiction started after she was exposed to media surrounding hookup culture when she was in middle school.

“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,” she said.

“I had not pursued to do anything about that, but I was curious, and 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.”

Prewett recalled feeling “desire” and “things that [she] had never felt before.”

The Bachelor Nation alum elaborated on the “shame” she would feel because she “wanted to live a life for Jesus.”

“I questioned my worth and my identity,” she continued. “Every time I gave into sexual sin, I didn’t know my purpose.”

Prewett rose to fame when she appeared on Season 24 of “The Bachelor” with Peter Weber in 2020.

However, she and the pilot called it quits shortly after the season aired.

Prewett has since moved on with her husband, Grant Troutt.

The couple tied the knot in 2022 and welcomed their daughter, Hosanna Rose, in January.
