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.

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.
“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.
The move comes as a surprise after The Bachelor alum closely documented her personally designing every detail of the 4,738 square-foot abode.
Madi and Grant purchased the property shortly after getting married in late 2022.
While it seemed like a forever home, Madi revealed in an Instagram video in September 2024 that she and Grant were moving to Nashville.
