24 hours after filing for divorce from embattled Atlanta preacher Bishop Eddie Long, his long-suffering wife, Vanessa Long, has asked her attorneys to withdraw her divorce petition.
Mrs. Long blames “years of attacks in the media” for her abrupt decision to file for divorce yesterday (Dec. 1).
But in a new statement released this afternoon, Mrs. Long said:
“Upon prayerful reflection, I have reconsidered and plan to withdraw my petition for divorce from my husband, Bishop Eddie L. Long,” she said in an emailed statement bearing the New Birth logo. “I love my husband. I believe in him and admire his strength and courage.”
Yesterday, Mrs. Long appeared to give up on her marriage to the troubled leader of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church:
“After a great deal of deliberation and prayer, I have decided to terminate my marriage to Bishop Eddie L. Long. Accordingly, I authorized my attorneys to file for divorce on December 1, 2011.”
Vanessa sound like she’s confused!!! Either that or money truly talks. Confusion does not follow prayer, God speaks and one listens then decides with a clear and made up mind. Her actions don’t look credible now.

This doesn’t surprise me. Confused men usually have confused women by their side. If your man doesn’t know who he is or what he wants how are you supposed to know. She will come to her senses and divorce him once the confusion passes.

Sad, but makes me wonder if she is the one threatening HIM and now she got whatever she wanted.

ZENNA,
First she had her lawyers file, then she changed her mind, then she filed again. This is one dumb, confused HO…
“Vanessa Long released three statements to the media Friday. First she announced she was seeking to end her 21-year-marriage following “a great deal of deliberation and prayer.”
Then, around lunchtime, in a statement sent through New Birth’s public relations firm, Vanessa Long said, upon further “prayerful reflection,” she was withdrawing the divorce petition.
“I love my husband,” she said in the second press release. “I believe in him and admire his strength and courage.”
Long, a New Birth elder, said her decision to seek a divorce was driven by “years of attacks in the media that frustrated and overwhelmed me.” She and her husband “mutually agreed to find healing,” Vanessa Long said.
Six hours later, her attorneys announced she was proceeding with the divorce “consistent with her original [statement] made this morning.”
In the divorce filing, Vanessa Long, 53, said her marriage to the New Birth pastor was “irretrievably broken” and there was “no hope of reconciliation.” The couple has been in a “state of separation,” according to the petition.”
