7th Heaven’ Star Denies Cult Leader Rumors
Actor Andrew Keegan Addresses Cult Rumors in California
Recently, actor Andrew Keegan spoke out about the rumors surrounding his alleged cult in California. Contrary to the speculation, Keegan explained that he was simply ”bringing people together” in the vibrant Venice neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Known for his roles in popular television shows like “Trinkets,” “Moesha,” and “Party of Five,” as well as films such as ”10 Things I Hate About You,” Keegan shared his perspective on the matter during an episode of the “Pod Meets World” podcast.
Keegan laughed off the notion of being anointed a cult leader overnight, explaining how he became involved with the Venice community and its spiritual atmosphere. He and a group of like-minded individuals saw an opportunity to repurpose an old Hare Krishna Temple and create a space for positive community engagement.
The movement, named Full Circle, aimed to make a difference in the community and was comprised of individuals who had previously been part of the Occupy Wall Street movement. According to Variety, Keegan invested significant amounts of money and time into the project, resulting in the formation of a strong and supportive friend group.
The rumors of Keegan’s alleged cult began when a Vice reporter published an article titled “One of the Stars of ’10 Things I Hate About You’ Started a Religion.” The article described encounters with a group member named Third Eye, who claimed to be part of the inner circle of enlightened members, with Keegan as their leader.
Reflecting on the situation, Keegan admitted that he could have handled the media attention better. He emphasized that the group was not a cult but rather a gathering of individuals who organized numerous events and activities for the community. Keegan dismissed the notion of a strict doctrine, stating that their handbook, “The Co-Creator’s Handbook,” was more of a guide for community engagement.
During the podcast, host Danielle Fishel compared Keegan’s group to the Burning Man festival rather than notorious cults like Heaven’s Gate. Keegan agreed, suggesting that a different name might have avoided the negative connotations associated with the term “cult leader.”
In retrospect, Keegan acknowledged that the group’s evolution from a gathering of people to a vibrant community center may have been misunderstood. Despite the controversy, Keegan emphasized the positive impact they had on the Venice community and the lasting memories created during their time together.
How does Keegan differentiate Full Circle from being a cult, emphasizing self-expression, spirituality, and connection instead?

While some may see the group’s practices as unconventional, Keegan emphasized that Full Circle was not a cult. He explained that the community emphasized self-expression, spirituality, and connection, but there was no indoctrination or control over its members.
Keegan’s intentions were rooted in creating a positive and inclusive space for people to gather and explore their own spiritual journeys. He believed in the power of community and wanted to provide a supportive environment for individuals to connect with each other and the world around them.
Since its inception, Full Circle has hosted a variety of events, including meditation sessions, workshops, and live performances. The group’s aim is to foster personal growth, creativity, and collaboration.
Keegan acknowledged that misunderstandings and rumors can often arise when a community is perceived as different or unconventional. He encouraged people to approach Full Circle with an open mind and curiosity rather than jumping to conclusions.
In recent years, Keegan has shifted his focus away from acting and towards building and nurturing the Full Circle community. He is dedicated to creating a safe and inspiring space for individuals to explore their spirituality and connect with others who share similar values.
Despite the rumors surrounding his alleged cult, Keegan remains committed to serving his community and making a positive impact in the world. He hopes that by addressing the misconceptions and providing insight into Full Circle’s mission, people will be able to see the value and potential for growth within the community.

He clarified that Full Circle, the community he helped create, is not a cult but rather a space for positive community engagement and personal growth. Keegan emphasized the importance of approaching Full Circle with an open mind and encouraged people to explore their spirituality and connect with others in a supportive and inclusive environment.
