Centino Kemp, the 5th accuser in the Bishop Eddie Long Sex Scandal, was feeling ‘some kinda way’ last night and felt the need to send out a public message to his alleged abuser.
Two other Long accusers, Jamal Parris & Spencer LaGrande, appeared on local news last week, prompting the “Bishop” to address his New Birth Congregation.
It now appears Centino is seeking a response from Long as well…
But wait… there’s more!
And the moral of this story is…. throwing money at a problem (or 5 “problems” in this case), will not make it go away.
It’s sad that these young men have to continue struggling with these issues, while being front & center in the media. Some feel that they are only speaking now because they’ve blown through their settlement, but it’s clear (at least to me) that money is NOT the issue here.
They want justice…. and unfortunately for Long, it’s not coming in the form of a check!





![WTF?! Reality Show Alert: Strip Club Queens of Atlanta… [PHOTOS + VIDEOS]](http://cdn.straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/strip-club-queens-promo-1-520x523.jpg)








Honestly Bishop Eddie Long is a snake and he disgusts me BUT I think these men are starting to do the most like really come on son, if your really grieving and going through so much. Twitter and all these other social media sites shouldn’t be your place to tell. Like cut the theatrics all ready…
Exactly gagirl. They weren’t such "the victim" when they were flauting their lil sissy a$$es around on tv trying to make an album; or flaunting that new BMW. These dudes need to go seek counseling (if they are indeed traumatized) and go sit down somewhere! They are starting to look just as, if not more, guilty then Eddie Long Stroke!!
All of these men clearly knew what they were doing even at the ages they met Eddie Long. I have absolutely "NO SYMPATHY FOR ANY OF THESE MONEY HUNGRY MAN LOVING MEN" because they’re not victims, they were willing participants in the game of "SEX FOR MONEY & MATERIAL THINGS" from the beginning.
If these men were so abused, why in hell didn’t they report Eddie Long from the time he began "ALLEGEDLY" having sexual communication with them, or from the first time he "ALLEGEDLY" put his hands on any of them sexually?
Their ages at that time had nothing to do with it, and people can say they "WERE YOUNG" all you want, but as far as i’m concerned their ages are irrelevant to me, because if Eddie Long was doing things to any of these men inappropriately they should have reported him to their parents first, then to the police in Dekalb County.
I also must add that if any man sexually abused me in any way, I would have "NEVER ENTERED INTO MEDIATION WITH HIM" I would have also "NEVER ACCEPTED ANY MONEY FROM HIM" regardless of how wealthy he may have been because I would have wanted the world to know what he had done to me, and that his money was not going to shut me up.
You don’t enter into mediation, nor do you take money from a man who has sexually assaulted or abused you. You expose them and make the world aware of them in every way possible.
I’m with you james, i don’t have any sympathy for these "men" either. It’s really all about attention & the all mighty dollar. Sit yo azz down & talk to a counselor or somethin’. I’m not sayin’ they should forget whatever happened, but I’m starting to believe some of them thought they would actually be in a real relationship w/this man. They should’ve reported it a long time ago…i guess that settlement money is runnin’ kind of thin now.
I agree that these men have probably blown their settlement money,and Centino Kemp is probably angry that his cash flo has been cut off even though he appears to enjoy his gayness,especially after releasing pics. But I do NOT agree that social media is not the place to address their grievances. It’s EXACTLY the place. How would we know that Eddie Long was doing this had it not been for the media? At least now more parents and young men will KNOW the danger of being alone with this monster. And YES he’s a monster for that fact that he’s a married man who has gay relationship with young boys and men and stands at the head of God’s church taking God’s tithes to lure these youths AND pay his legal debts for abusing them. All in the name of God.What’s done in the dark has come to the light,let them continue to reveal his criminal and predatory character.
I don’t think anyone is innocent… Not Eddie long and not his accusers…. They were living the life cars, trips, money and soon as all of it was snatched from them that’s when they say… Oh well he molested me. They were of legal age so I feel they knew what they were doing. I’m not saying Eddie Long is righr because Lord knows… Literally… He isn’t…. I was a victims of molestation. I don’t take things like this playfully. They blew through their money and now they need more so they making it a all out pity party.
Sounds like Eddie Long’s congregation is in the house. LOL
For real people?
These young men are obviously disturbed. MOST black people don’t turn in abusers even when they have the chance. WE HIDE IT. So what they took the money and trips. They were enthralled by a powerful man and thirsty to be "special".
However, they failed to realize that with the settlement they were supposed to seek counseling. The feelings are not going to go away, they will take some maintenance to at least get to the point that they don’t feel "dirty" anymore. As a matter of fact, whatever settlement they got, just might cover all of the therapy they will need to be whole again.
THEY WANT MONEY NOT JUSTICE AND THIS CENTINO DUDE DIDNT WANT TO SAY ANYTHING BEFORE. THEY HAD HIM ON CAMERA AND DIDNT WANT TO COMMENT. I GUESS HE THOUGHT ABOUT HIS DREAM OF BECOMING A SINGER AND NOW HE WANTS TO SPEAK. *STUDIO TIME COSTS MONEY*
I AGREE SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT THE RIGHT PLACE. IF YOU REALLY HAVE A PROBLEM AND WANT HELP TAKE YO AZZ TO A THERAPIST. THEY NEED TO SIT DOWN AND SORT THIS OUT BUT BY THEM POSTING OF FACEBOOK IT SEEMS LIKE THEY JUST WANT ATTENTION. AND COME ON NOW SOME OF THOSE BOYS WERE OLD ENOUGHT TO KNOW BETTER.
In regards to the congregation comment…. If you read the previous comments no one said he was right all we are basically saying was this needs to stop being turned into a money thing.
They ALL goin to HELL!!! Eddie n the “BOYS” all goin str8 to HELL!!!!
who gives a flying s@#@!
THEY KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON…THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE LET HIM ENTER
where did my comment go? Damn
all the boys are crabs… especially the crack head ones yapping…at 17 living in the city you know who and what you want to have sex with….the way I see it they are fu&*%ing with the Bishop now…..where the hell was their momma? thats who they should be blaming…
You ruin your own life… You was willing to lie for him.. Now you are just trying to get money from him and his family repent and move forward… He has to deal with his demons
WOW! The more im hearing how these people are risking loosing all the money by talking, the more im beginning to see this stuff really happened and these folks are really hurt! Looks like there was a deep level of intimate relationship that took place as these people act as if in divorce court. I truly hope the other party is truly repenting form this, God dosent like ugly in his shepards, ask Moses…
I thought they had a gag order in place, because everytime you turn around, somebody is talking about the abuse.I guess they are trying to ruin and run their attacker out of town.My thing is, will other child abuse victims claims be seen as genuine and worthy of attention, if they keep this up?Something is totally off about this…. while I applaud them for taking a stand against a pulpit phoney, I believe they should stay out of the media and seek counseling, because this situations is causing more harm than good.They are starting to turn folk against them and the creep should be out on the streets; but you guys took the hush money and still talking about tell-alls and other mess.We know who is behind every scheme and attack.Wrong is wrong.
This is a MESS. These young men are too hurt behind this whole scandal for nothing to have happened. Before this is all over, they’re gonna find somebody floatin’ in the Chattahoochie.
you all need to understand that when he starting digging in on these men they were boys…underage and impressionable… he did just what all predators do…gain the trust of a person whether its a child or another adult that they are looking to take advantage of…and thats what he did…now look at the damage that he has done…what a shame
@ kaye i agree and i hope that it dosen’t come down to that because these men/boys are terrible hurt and disturbed
Stella I agree.. I’m sure it was hard for these boys to sit in the room with Eddie (who doesn’t deserve to be called a Bishop) while I’m sure he failed to acknowledge them or apologize. These boys thought they had something special with him and he is using his muscle and the powerful engine behind him to protect himself. These boys don’t have an army of 25,000 behind them like Eddie does. These boys probably don’t have the same support system behind them as Eddie does.
Check this: I someone accused me of something that I know I didn’t do, I would do what’s necessary to clear my name, not settle behind closed doors. If Eddie didn’t do it, why pay up. I wouldn’t pay for something I was accused of stealing, if I didn’t steal it.
I just have one question for Eddie –Where are your rocks? You said you had rocks to throw…
Wake up people!!!
Let’s get real: they’ve blown the money and are attention seekers. If they truly wanted healing, they wouldn’t be trying to get it from their molestor or the public. The settlement money should have been used to rebuild their lives and that includes professional counseling. And if it’s unclear to his followers, Eddie Long likes sleeping with men, he’s a homosexual. God is making that really plain. He could easily deny these claims with supporting facts, if they were untrue. I know that if I was accused unfairly of these claim I would publicly deny it and present the facts. And I could easily defend myself, because I don’t take strangers kids on trips and I don’t sleep in the bed with adolescents and I don’t lie about my sexuality.
one more thing… I pray these young boys find some healing and will power to continue to live and know that this shall pass. I would tell them to pray, but one can only question their level of faith in God as they were violated by a man of God.
Eddie Long guilty as sin BUT I bet there is someone in Atlanta with deep pockets keeping this story going. The first time dude in the above pic was interviewed by the local press he jumped into a limo.
Once again let me repeat Eddie is guilty as sin BUT the whole drama after the court settlements is just as shady.
Eddie has a enemy and all I can say is I hope no other big time black mega church leaders have skeletons in their closets because in today’s political climate racist Tea Bags are out there destroying black institutions that have large get out the vote drives. We need to hold our black community leaders accountable when they mess up but’s lets also check and research who broke the story and why because it will get ugly before the 2012 elections.
These young men and I did say men, need to start acting like men. If they don’t shut-up, they are going to end up in jail for comtempt. You can’t sign a legal confidential agreement and then decided not to follow it. These boys could end up in jail and not because of Eddie Long because they had dollar signs in their eyes and signed something and now they want to take it back. The legal system doesn’t work like that. I hope they realize that the judge could have them arrested at any time. They took the money, so go get you some help and some education to learn how to handle the money.
Wow. Please continue to keep us updated. Thanks.
Guess that goes to show that money can’t make you happy when you have an empty soul.
Smh
Wait…this is the same dude that has Eddie Long’s name tattooed on his wrist…ok, carry on.
For the first four men (especially Jamal Parris), the pain of not having a father in their lives was the first strike. Speaking from personal experience, when a BOY grows up without a father (the MAN he is supposed to look up to and admire), there is a sense of great loss. There is anger, confusion, grief, and self-blame, but it usually remains an internal issue and if left unchecked, it grows as the years go by. When Bishop Eddie Long came in their lives and said, "I’ll be the father you’ve always wanted. I’ll be there for you." It opened them up in ways that they never opened up before. Sadly, the Bishop used this to basically pimp them out… Strike #2. The third and final strike was when the reality of this situation finally sunk in for the four: "I grew up without my dad. I was abandoned by him. Here came this man who claimed he was going to be my father, and look how he treated me. He treated me like a whore and he never said ‘I’m sorry.’
I thought he truly loved me. I thought that was love. I feel cheated, used up, washed up and betrayed. I’m damaged good." Without God, MAJOR therapy, and forgiveness, the combination of their vulnerability and their pain will swallow them up.
Wat a bunch of fags
Hi fivin’ James! YOU SAID IT! I really have no sympathy for them because mama and daddy’s (if the daddy’s were around) were all enjoying the "shut yo mouth" money and gifts Eddie Long Stroke was providing. Buying cars for these kids, providing homes and mortgage payments for these parents. Those sorry a$$ parents are just as trifling for KNOWING something had to be going on with their kids and allowed it to happen anyway!!! *smdh* EVERYBODY needs to sit down, shut up, get some counseling and wait for judgement day!!!
As I read, I am beginning to wonder, who seduced whom. These boys look like they are suffering for "Good Old Fashion Greed". I wish that I could have reaped such financial benefits from my youthful escapades. I shared my goodies/family jewels with a few hot slicksters, lots of thrills but not a dollar to be had; good times thought, good memories to reflect upon. It is not about innocence lost with these boys, it is about getting more of what use to flow freely. They feel entitled and are narcissistic, going after what they feel is owed to them. They have been given a taste, now they want the whole kit and caboodle. Good luck with that boys, but I think that your jig is up.
I’M GLAD THEY PUT THIS IN THE MEDIA–EDDIE LONG IS DEAD WRONG FOR HAVING SEX WITH TEENAGE BOYS–AND IF SOMEONE SAYS THEY NEED TO GET COUNSELING AND SIT DOWN–YOU TELL YOUR SON THAT WHEN HE GETS ABUSED–EDDIE LONG IS A PEDOPHILE AND HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS DOING WHEN HE STARTED "GROOMING" THEM. WHO IS ANYONE TO SAY WHAT A PERSON SHOULD DO WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN HURT–NOBODY HERE HAS DIED ON ONE CROSS FOR ANYBODY, NOBODY HERE HAS A HEAVEN OR HELL, AND ON JUDGEMENT DAY NOBODY HERE WILL BE JUDGING. I HOPE THEY MAKE HIS LIFE A LIVING HELL.
Everyone is quick to place judgement on the “victims”, but Eddie Long is still guilty. There is no reason why a pastor should be caught up in this kind of scandal. He took advantage of young boys! Whether these young men knew what was going on or not, or; whether they are out for money, Eddie Long is WRONG!!
@ shanna …i agree 100%
Thank you R,Shanna and Shad.I wonder if all these Eddie Long defenders feel the same way about defending Catholic priests who are still paying for their victims who are still coming out of shadows of shame and some are in their 40′s.And as someone said,how would you feel if YOUR son had sex with Eddie Long.Would you want HIM to shut up and get over it? Really?
The victim doesn’t have to be a perfect person. What Eddie Long did is wrong. It’s more wrong — and that’s horrible grammar, because he’s posing as a man of God. Eddie needs help; he needs to be sitting in a pew. If you’re following him, what a waste. Maybe it helps you socially or in business, but think about the cost. You’re helping a predator stay in place. That should be unacceptable to all of us.
That dumb ass nigger needs to learn how to spell!!!! I see why Eddie Long played your stupid ass!!!!! Lol fuck you and Jesus too!!!!
By the way, I am GOD!!!!! John 10:34, “Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?”. Psalms 82:6 “I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High”. Genesis 3:5. “For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes will be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” So don’t give me crap about you ain’t God, yeah and a G is a g upper case!!! Eddie Long is a FAG surrounded by boys like Jesus was a FAG surrounded by boys!!!! Christianity is just some old gay ass shit!!!!
I agree with everyone that aren’t defending Eddie Long.
Molestation is bad enough and one’s life could be altered by it and so could their soul be altered because molestation is bad enough but when it’s same sex molestation,that can create even more conflict that what opposite sex molestation can cause….
I think most that defend Eddie Long are the types that would still be in his church worshiping him instead of God.
A big ole mess that keeps getting messier.
John 8:32, "And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." Let’s not forget that Michael Jackson’s first accuser later admitted, as an adult, that his parent’s made up the story. Unfortunately, his admission of lying didn’t get the same headlines as when Michael Jackson was accused of abusing him. That’s the way the media works.
I’m praying that the TRUTH of what really happened is made known to all, regardless of who is guilty, regardless of who may be lying, and regardless of who’s benefiting financially.
All of you that are calling these boys greedy and money hungry you need to kill yourselves! So fluck them being molested hunh??????? He needs to be exposed…Eddie likes to be the center or attention with that horrible rug and tight ass shirts so put him on blast! Until you walk a mile in their shoes or experience what they went through STFU! I would love to see the idiots that still attend New Birth. Eddie "Longstroke" is a monster.
What I don’t understand is why they went the civil (money) route instead of filing a criminal case against Bishop Long. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Get some help. The Love of Money is the root of all evil. Two rocks down and three to go. Just a matter of time.
They probably didn’t go the criminal route, because these victims were of consenting age. There are laws against folks like priests or cops abusing their relationship with folks who come to them in need. Nonetheless, I don’t think criminal actions were pursued by the DA due to their age. Also, I doubt the victims tried to push for criminal charges, because they did want a cash settlement. An imprisoned Eddie Long can’t hustle up the money. Most things are never black and white.
You can do wrong and still be a victim
