“Eddie Long Said: He’s Going To Fight This!”

The ReadyWriter

 

“I have never in my life portrayed myself as a perfect man, but I am not the man being portrayed on television That’s not me. That is not me.”

No., but now I believe it’s “the other side of you”, the private hypocritical side that you hide from the world and from the truth!

“Please hear this: the bishop continued – “I’ve been accused. I’m under attack. I want you to know as I said earlier I am not a perfect man. … But this thing I’m going to fight. I feel like David against Goliath, but I’ve got five rocks and I haven’t thrown one yet” said Long as he lay down his mic and strode off the podium to thunderous applause.

The Bishop addressed his crowded congregation this morning and not once did he deny the charges in lawsuits brought against him by 4 former Longfellow Academy students, who accuse him of coercion by gifting them with cash, cars, gifts and exotic trips in return for sex..

Afterwards, Eddie Long held a press conference but he didn’t take any questions from the media; he made a brief statement with his lawyers then left with his wife and family.

Eddie Long’s body language displays guilt and his eyes looked empty, as if he was heavily sedated.

The bishop’s wife, Vanessa Long, accompanied him to the pulpit. He held onto to that woman for dear life!

“Update: Long Stepping Down After Sunday’s Address”

The ReadyWriter

This is all in light of 30 young men who have already contacted BJ Bernstien the lawyer who filed the civil suit on behalf of Anthony Flagg, Maurice Robinson and Jamal Parris, and both Long and the Church are fearful more are coming

A fourth young man has come forward and said he had sexual relations with Bishop Eddie Long when he was a teenager, the Associated Press reports. His latest accuser, Spencer LeGrande, claims he was 17 when he began a sexual relationship with Long while accompanying the bishop on a trip to Nairobi, Kenya. Read more…

Our source also tells us that Long had initially planned to step down from the Church today, however, with plans to address the congregation in this Sunday’s sermon it’s likely that he will announce his decision to take a reprieve from his duties when he is at the pulpit on Sunday.

An additional source familiar with Long and his practices at New Birth tells us that it’s a definite possibility that there could be at least that many plaintiffs, since Bishop Long selects new “Spiritual Sons” regularly and has been doing so for years!!!

God is NOT PLAYING people!

“Bishop Long And His Muscle Shirts”

The ReadyWriter

His lawyer explains…

New photos have surfaced showing troubled New Birth Pastor Bishop Eddie Long posing in a bathroom mirror wearing tight muscle shirts and bicycle shorts. The photos were first aired by ABC News yesterday evening.

The cell phone pictures are of the variety that men send to women they are crushing on.

The married father of four allegedly sent the undated pics via text message to the three young men named in separate sexual harassment lawsuits filed against him.

Long was scheduled to address the sex scandal on local radio shows this morning, but he canceled his appearances after a 3rd lawsuit was filed yesterday by Jamal Paris, 23, a former member of New Birth who claims Long made him call him “daddy.”

Long also canceled a press conference which was scheduled for later today.

Long’s attorney, Craig Gillen, read a brief statement from Long on the air this morning on The Tom Joyner Morning show on Kiss 104.1 and The Frank & Wanda Morning Show on V-103.

He said Long would address the scandal this coming Sunday during the 11 a.m. service at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church at 6400 Woodrow Road in Lithonia.

In addition to “categorically” denying the allegations against his client, Gillen stammered out an explanation of the cell phone “muscle shirt” pictures that are sweeping the Internet and blog sites:

“The photos don’t corroborate these charges. [Bishop Long] is a health advocate, he’s a weight lifter. Uh, he’s a fella, you know, who’s gonna go to work and he’s gonna have on a muscle shirt. And he’s gon’, you know, he may show up in church, uh, you know, in a muscle shirt. And… I know sure enough he can come, he comes down to my office in a muscle shirt. So, uh, you know, uh, there’s nothing really in those photographs that seems to me, uh, in any way that, uh, is uh, corroborative of, uh, of these allegations.”

Bishop Eddie Long is facing some very serious allegations and charges here and this is the language and the dialogue of a lawyer who’s representing him in this scandal?

What a joke!! – I would dismiss this man’s representation on the spot.
