Bishop Eddie Long is facing another firestorm this week after two of his FIVE (yes 5… we can’t forget about Centino Kemp) hit the media this week.
Jamal Parris, seemingly the most affected of them all, first hit the local news with the epiphany that the abuse he suffered from Long was a major cause of his legal issues.

Then Spencer LaGrande joined Parrish for a duel interview, where they spoke about needing some sort of public acknowledgment from the Bishop of his wrongdoings, it was even revealed that they may be planning to pen a tell-all.
Bishop Eddie LongSTROKE couldn’t help but issue a public statement. Check out Long’s address to the congregation of New Birth below:
New Birth Members,
We have a long history of dutifully serving those in need in the local and global communities and we will continue to do so. We are committed to the calling of a strong, viable and relevant ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Unfortunately, we are in the media again and people are wondering what I am going to say. All I have to say is what we stated earlier. All parties involved decided to resolve the civil cases out of court. The decision was made to bring closure to this matter and allow us to move forward with the plans God has for this ministry.
I will continue to honor and abide by my commitment of confidentiality and restraint as it relates to the resolution of the civil litigation and will not be diverted from the important work of the ministry.
I thank God for your faithful support of my journey to South Africa where thousands where blessed and more than 700 people gave their lives to Christ.
We also were able to sow more support into the HIV/AIDS Hospice in Johannesburg that we partnered with last year. We built a wonderful bridge of relationships with pastors and community leaders to further establish the Kingdom and bless others.
I love you and thank you for your continued commitment and dedication.
Your Pastor,
Bishop Eddie L. Long
I’m sure New Birth’s congregation was giving Long the serious SIDE-EYE every Sunday, which was why he felt the need to finally speak publicly (somewhat) about those sexual allegations.
Long honestly should have stepped down (or away) from the pulpit, but it doesn’t seem like his ego will allow it.
Is there anything Long could say (or do) at this point to reclaim his reputation?
Spotted @ RWS
NOPE!
Yeah….sit his ass down somewhere……**rolling eyes**………….
NO!
Fix his hair. No, I’m kidding. There is nothing he can do
@deedee….i just said that in my mind before I clicked this link to comment. He needs to worry about the Lord and not us cuz only God can forgive and forget mess. We not built that way. At least the forgetting part.

Deborah, I cosign that. Somethings up with all these trips to Africa. Hide your sons Africa.
He should have came clean on the spot..he’s a man of God right.
Yes! Eddie can remind his New Birth congregation to not forget to tithe.Their tithes are going STRAIGHT to God and are enabling him to continue to do God’s good work."And above all,faithful New Birth members…don’t let the men I screw,screw those tithes up!".
Ecclesiastes 10:1 KJV
Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.
Ya wrong for pulling out that old picture of him and Miss Sophia out the archives like it is relevant. Just plain wrong for that one.
nope,there is no way i can be part of his congregation……giving the side eyes to the people that still allow him to preach to them….smh
No. He is a corrupt leader and a shame to us all.
There are so many hilarious comments, that all I can do is testify. IKTR(i know that’s right) @benita,reita,tanya and miracle!
Like I said, all I can do after reading these posts is co-sign! @reita, benita, miracle and audrey.
Why are we still entertaining these narcissistic con artists?
OMG Y don’t this nucca just die already! Ole pedophile, embezzling, cheap wig wearing, tight shirt flaunting, half naked pic texting, bell pepper nose having, sweaty, lying, no good perv with apparently ugly tranzy friends. I swear the people of New Birth must all be retarded to still follow this fool and give him their money. These fools are steady making Jesus weep. The whole lot is just rotten to the core.
LMAO at the gifs. You need to put Florida Evans up there with her "dayumm, dayumm, dayumm" moment cuz thats what I do every time I hear about Eddie Longdong opening up his d*ck breath smelling mouth!
Sighs.. let me pray on that.. After a short but sincere heartfelt prayer, God & I came up with, "I don’t think so.. but you can check back later". My personal opinion God means later mean will Eddie Long has perished on to the here yonder of the bowels of the earth..
Peace!!
These boys got that money, have blown thru it now want more! Tell these lil sissies to sit down somewhere!! Parrish blew threw his $ in no time buying that expensive BMW! Now, he’s broke. Now he can’t flash like he wanted to. Idiot!! If it was all so bad, where are the other 3 that EL "did!?" These boys are going to hell in a handbasket, sitting right beside Eddie Long!
Long is a very disgusting man and it is a sin and an offense to any and all God fearing people to refer to him as Bishop. Quit falling at the feet of these false prophets!
