Love Is Blind star Alex Henderson has lifted the lid on his deeply troubling childhood, claiming he was once “thrown” into the air by his abusive stepdad as a baby.
The Netflix groom made the candid confession while speaking to his mum Kristin on his podcast.
During the emotional chat, Alex revisited painful memories from his early years.
Alex, who is engaged to Ashley Carpenter in the show, reflected on the alleged incident as he and Kristin discussed her former marriage.
He claimed his stepdad, who has long since divorced Kristin, threw him over the roof of their parked car.
According to Alex, Kristin was expected to catch him as he was launched into the air.
He also spoke about the strict rules he says were enforced because of his stepfather’s Christian scientology beliefs.
