EX on the Beach contestant Ranin Karim left her costar unimpressed tonight as she bragged about having sex with married Hillsong pastor Carl Lentz.
Making her debut on the MTV show, the New York jewelry designer told her castmate David Barta: “I had a relationship with pastor Carl Lentz.”
“We had an affair for like five months.”
Shocked David, whose father was a prominent church figure, replied: “Oh, s**t, and he’s like married and everything?”
The former mistress said: “I think 17 years, so yeah.”
David told the cameras during a confessional: “Ranin definitely has the shadiest ex story. It made me pretty uncomfortable seeing that my dad was a minister for 20 years.”
During her VT, Ranin showed off her figure in a green bikini as she addressed the controversial relationship.
“I don’t like to be referred to as a mistress, I’m more like a mystery woman.”
She went on to say: “I’ve been in toxic relationships. A lot of men sell you a dream. You know, I’m broke. I don’t need to buy anymore dreams.”
“I think I’m very hard to handle, because I’m very stubborn too”, the 35-year-old added.
Carl is an American pastor who was the leader of the huge Hillsong Church NYC until November 4, 2020, when he was fired for “moral failures.”
His religious role saw him maintain a close relationship with Justin Bieber, who was a member of Hillsong.
Following the controversy, Carl moved to California for a time and then disappeared from view for the most part.
The disgraced pastor is the subject of a recent Discovery+ documentary, Hillsong: A Megachurch Exposed.
HOLY SMOKES!
Ranin was one of “at least three women” who came forward in late 2020 with claims that they had an affair with the church leader.
She exclusively opened up to The Celeb Report about her five-months-long affair with Carl.
The pair met in May 2020 at Domino Park in Brooklyn, New York, when he approached her to flirt and make small talk.
However, she claimed Carl lied about his true identity and told her he was an unmarried sports agent.

Their relationship took an explosive turn after she claimed Carl’s wife saw all of their messages – including “naughty photos” – which were connected to his work computer at the church office while several other co-workers were also present.
Since rising to fame, Ranin has kept her online followers entertained with plenty of bikini pictures.
