A wealthy lesbian 'throuple' behind one of America's largest self-help empires sensationally fell apart amid allegations of abuse and 'psychological warfare' behind closed doors.
Now Jenna Weakland, 32, who joined the marriage of famed psychologist Dr. Nicole LePera, 43, and her wife Lauren 'Lolly' Galvin, 41, has told the Daily Mail of how what she once believed to be a 'dream come true' spectacularly went off the rails.
Weakland joined the couple's brand 'Holistic Psychologist' in 2019, and said she was initially drawn to LePera as one of the most well-known mental health influencers in America.
LePera commanded a cult-like following of millions of fans through her unorthodox wellness practices, urging people struggling with mental health to solve the root of their trauma over relying on medications.
But Weakland alleges that behind the scenes, the facade of vitality and wellbeing hid an abusive and 'toxic' dynamic, which she was quickly enveloped in when she publicly joined the relationship.
In 2021, LePera told her 10 million followers that Weakland entered her relationship with Galvin to form a three-way couple after she 'expressed she had feelings' - a framing that Weakland now says is not true.
She alleged that Galvin had quietly pursued her for some time.
Weakland alleged that the throuple only came about after she insisted on being open with LePera, starting a five-year polyamorous relationship that would go on to collapse in the public eye.

When Weakland joined the couple's $2.5 million love nest in Scottsdale, Arizona, she said she initially believed it was a 'dream come true' after previously admiring LePera as a leading psychologist influencer.
But she now says the breakdown of the polyamorous relationship in the spotlight was traumatizing, and said she had to try to leave the tryst multiple times before getting out.
In the spring of 2024, a year before she ultimately parted ways, Weakland said she packed up her belongings and moved out of the bed that the three women shared.
'I ended the relationship, I moved my stuff out of the bedroom, I was done,' she recalled.
She said the couple urged her to stay, and said she was so entrenched in the high-profile business that she was convinced she had 'no power in this dynamic.'
'The way our operating agreement is written, as majority owners, they are in majority control. I am then rendered powerless,' she said.
'I just became so completely enveloped in their world, and I started to realize, like, I don't have any agency here. And I really thought maybe they could come back.'
She eventually left the relationship in the spring of 2025, launching a scathing lawsuit that LePera and Galvin refute and have responded to with a lawsuit of their own.

By the time LePera announced the unconventional 'throuple,' she was one of the most well-known influencers in the mental health and lifestyle space, and Forbes described her as 'radically changing the business of mental health.'
In her time in the high-profile 'throuple', Weakland became a face of the brand alongside LePera, and she often performed in social media clips roleplaying as LePera's daughter.
While the clips were intended to help followers understand how childhood trauma impacts them, but Weakland says she now feels 'sick' about the dynamic.
'Nicole would play the therapist and I would play the client... that was the dynamic that I felt most uncomfortable with,' she told the Daily Mail.
Weakland said her distaste at filming the videos, where she was often the struggling client and LePera was the therapist, led her to refuse to film any more - something she says escalated tensions in their three-way relationship.
'There were a lot of times that I refused to film those videos, and that would just incite the volatility that was happening within the home,' she said.
Despite leading a mental health advocacy movement, Weakland alleged that LePera and Galvin mocked her for wanting to stop the videos for her own mental health, telling her, 'We don't take mental health breaks in this company, you're lazy.'
She claimed the couple would use psychiatry techniques to manipulate her in the relationship, saying they convinced her that any issues were 'always because of my childhood trauma and what mommy and daddy did to me.'
While LePera is known for fronting the Holistic Psychiatry brand, Weakland alleged it is Galvin who was the driving force behind the company and the relationship.
Yet documents obtained by the Daily Mail show Galvin has a checkered history, including a conviction in 2018 for swindling cash through her homeless charity, The Dignity Project.
Galvin promoted the charity as a way of giving back to the homeless, but she admitted to funneling funds meant for the needy into her own private bank account.
She also admitted to failing to register as a charitable organization, and she was fined $3,000 and ordered to never again run a charitable foundation.
Separate records also showed Galvin was arrested in 2012 in Atlantic City, New Jersey, after she allegedly threatened a victim of domestic violence who took out an order of protection against her.
According to a warrant for her arrest, Galvin threatened the domestic violence victim she was 'telling everyone that your life is going down'. The identity of the victim was sealed. It is unclear how the case was resolved and if charges against Galvin were later dropped.
By the time Nicole LePera announced the unconventional 'throuple', she was one of the most well-known influencers in the mental health and lifestyle space, boasting millions of followers through her belief that unorthodox methods could help anxiety and depression
The unearthed scandals follow what Weakland described in court documents as Galvin's 'psychological warfare' in their relationship.
In a lawsuit filed against LePera and Galvin, which remains pending, Weakland alleged she was bullied and harassed by the couple, claiming they nicknamed her 'welfare' and needled her about her family's 'poverty.'
She added to the Daily Mail: 'It was whenever things were ruptured, which was most often... Lolly would try to really get to me.'
Weakland said the behind-the-scenes behavior of the couple was starkly different to their public wellness personas, saying that if their fans knew what she had been through, 'they would be inconsolable.'
'I know that as this unfolds, it is going to be very shocking, and probably for some people very traumatizing, to see how much they have outsourced a trust and safety when this is what's been happening behind the scenes,' she said.
The throuple imploded and Weakland file a lawsuit claiming she was cheated out of $3.5 million payout offer
Weakland alleges in her lawsuit that despite being promised an 'equal parts' share of the company as it expanded into a paid membership service, website and book deals, she was erased from their brand and was never paid her share - which her attorneys estimate at over $3.5 million.
However, in a counter-suit launched by LePera and Galvin's production company seen by the Daily Mail, the couple claim that Weakland was essentially a customer service agent for the brand after they already built it.
The clashing lawsuits each allege their glamorous online personas hid abuse and violence, and Weakland claims that LePera threw her down a flight of stairs, per her filing.
LePera and Galvin deny those claims and allege that Weakland assaulted Galvin and threatened to harm herself and release a damaging tell-all memoir about their lives. Weakland denies that claim.
Weakland was initially hired by the couple in 2019 to help run their online brand, which was growing into one of the most popular psychology and lifestyle businesses on social media.
In LePera's lawsuit, she now frames Weakland joining her marriage as 'working her way into' her relationship with Galvin for financial gain.
Weakland grew emotional in her conversation with the Daily Mail as she said she was heartbroken by this framing that she 'tried to sleep my way to the top.'
'I was so dumbfounded,' she said.
Weakland claims in her lawsuit that she was led to believe she was an equal partner and was promised a one-third stake in the business, however, the pledge was never put in writing.
After moving out of their home in Phoenix, Arizona, Weakland claimed that Galvin began frequently trespassing on her new home as part of an alleged harassment campaign.
This included repeatedly threatening to send nude videos of Weakland to her closest friends, the lawsuit alleged.
She alleged that the hostile breakdown of their relationship escalated to LePera shoving Weakland down a flight of stairs, 'landing face-first and sustaining injuries to her ankle and hand,' the lawsuit said. LePera denies this allegation.
LePera and Galvin have since responded with their own lawsuit, alleging that their former lover was not an equal business partner but a disgruntled employee.
They claimed that Weakland 'used a combination of deception, coercion, and abuse to first integrate into' their marriage, 'and then into ownership' of their brand.
Their counter-filing alleged that Weakland used 'threats of exposure of false, defamatory narratives' to bolster her claims, going as far as to threaten to publish a tell-all memoir about LePera, the lawsuit said.
They also disputed claims that they financially controlled Weakland, and alleged that Weakland used company money to go on $1 million worth of spending sprees.
The alleged lavish spending included a $20,000 Bahamas vacation, tens of thousands in wire transfers and luxury gifts, the lawsuit states.
The Daily Mail has contacted attorneys for LePera and Galvin's attorneys for comment.
