Two accusers, Jamal Parris & Spencer LaGrande spoke up on Channel 2 news last month, stating that they just wanted closure from the Bishop in the form of an acknowledgement.
Centino Kemp, the 5th accuser, was able to quietly get in on a piece of the “hush money” action in late May, but was outed by I-Team news reporters as they dug deeper into the case.
Attorneys for New Birth Missionary Baptist church have now informed Parris, LeGrande and Kemp that they intend to recover nearly $1 million from their financial settlement.
[Sidebar: Are there still any people who attend that church, because I swear just when you think it can't get any worse... POW!! Right in the kisser!]
Details below:
A letter sent earlier this week by the Atlanta law firm Drew Eckl & Farnham, alleges that Parris, LeGrande and Kemp all violated the terms of their confidentiality agreement outlined in the settlement between them, Long and New Birth Missionary Baptist Church.
Because each of the three men spoke publicly about the case, the firm is seeking at least $900,000 already paid the three accusers.
According to the AJC, that figure is merely a portion of the total settlement between long and the three men.
Financial terms of that settlement have not been disclosed but, based on the letter and the fact each of the young men were paid equitably, the total comes to at least $1.5 million.
The letter outlines the plaintiffs’ “demand for arbitration” though no legal documents have yet been filed.
The letter could simply be a threat, said Atlanta litigator Hayden Pace.
“No one’s going to turn over the money just simply because you’ve asked for it,” Pace said. “You’re going to have to earn it back by establishing your right to it in the courts.”
When Parris and LeGrande spoke about the case last month, they each acknowledged the risks involved but said that they didn’t care about the dough, stating:
“I’m going to tell the world – money does not buy happiness,” LeGrande said in August.
“When you sleep at night, the problems are still there. The money stuff, who cares about the number.”
“I feel like burning [the money].”
Parris, LeGrande and Kemp have all declined to comment on the letters and word on the curb is that each of them have plans to write a book.
Parris and LeGrande even revealed back in August that they were collaborating on a tell-all that will reveal intimate details of their relationship with Long. (Yessssss!!! I can’t wait!)
I say give back the dough and recoup it all in book sales. I’ll even help them market that muthaflocka…. (for a small fee of course).
What’s the word? Should these 3 accusers give Long back his hush money since they can’t seem to hush?
This MoFo is a piece of work….Smdh!!
Talkin bout a “Reprobate Mind”..He sick in the head, 4Real!!!!

No per law you cannot break a confidenitaly agreement. #thatisall

That Wasnt Hush Money Because He Manipulated & Misused God’s Money…It Wasn’t Your Money To Begin With Eddie Monster…!!!
*Dead* at the Trapped in the Closet pic lol
rump roaster…gtfoh
Let Eddie Long have his pocket change back. Once Jamal, Spencer, and Centino spill ALL of the tea and reveal the smokin’ hot details from their new books and they become best selling authors, the LongSTROKE money will be irrelevant. #I’m buying their books!
I thought they were giving his money back,when that dude got arrested he said money hadnt brought him any peace. So he and the other guy were returning those monies…I guess the
Bishop heard the same thing. Now those knuckleheads is quiet,must have been all talk.
He found one of the five stones I see smdh why he still a Bishop is beyond me. #shameonitall
He knows the money is spent but the letter was sent to achieve a couple of things. 1) scare them into shutting up; 2) potentially void the existing agreement so they don’t have to payout future monies; 3) enforce the ca so no publisher will pay them to write a book; 4) potentially attach them with a judgment for the money already paid that would take any profits they
could make from speaking. Eddie and all of them need to seek help. What happened here was wrong. The church members should also consider suing eddie. He breached his duties as a pastor and it’s unclear to me how he got the authority to payout the member money. That doesn’t pass the smell test and deserves an investigation.
My friend who goes to a New Birth location said they took special collections to assist in his legal fees. SPECIAL COLLECTION to help a liar cover his tracks. I was speachless.
They wont be able to make any money off of a tell-all book as the confidentiality agreement bars them from collecting…according to info wsbtv found concerning the agreement…E. Long and his lawyers can go after them and any publishers that try to profit…sad situation all around…and if money wasn’t important to them…why sue?…they could have wrote a tell all with out entering into any agreement with E. Long…#justsaying
This Swindler is a "Sicko" it’s bad enough he "Brainwashed" his members now he wants his or should I say his "Members Money" back.
If anything his members need to SUE Mr. Down Low Long" for their "Tithe Money" to be returned to all of them, and let’s see how this affect his "Financial Status"?????? He was suppose to be using the money that he collected from members to Kingdom Build not Frolick around with his Down Low Lovers.
He just needs a new toupee. Longstroke needs to file for unemployment and move to MS somewhere.
Good luck with that buddy!
Charge it to the nasty game you played.
They call him Big Daddy long!!!!
They need to take the money and fall back out the media’s eye. Then come out and write a “Fictional” (but we know its the truth) book based on the events. That’s how you stack dough not blow it and damn sure not give it back!
All I know is they are dumb for breaking the confidential agreement obviously they are out to smear a man’s name and reputation. You do not break an agreement that is binding. Doing so create a disdain and is not a good look.
smh eddie eddie eddie shame on you baby boy this 2 shall pass …
LMAO @ Reginia for the nickname “longstroke”!!!!!!
Yup, asking for trouble, its gloves off now!
Im sure they want their youth & gay-ginity back but you don’t see them asking for it back? Just pay them boys their money Eddie Long, before they really put the final nail in whatever, little self respect you do have.
LIKE WTF YOU ARE A PREACHER!!!! ARE YOU GAY OUR SOM E AND THEN YOU PRAY FOR THEM THIS IS SOME STUPID ISH
[...] Shocker!! Eddie Long Wants His Hush Money Back… [...]
First of all; if Bishop Long is/was a true man of GOD, he would have turned i over to HIM and let HIM work it out. Now, Bishop Long gave these men HUSH money for?! If they were lying then I would have LET GO AND LET GOD.
Long giving them hush money said/proved that he had something to hide. And if he did it just to keep his "fame" then he’s only in it for the money and not to do Gods work.
I was really #TeamLong until I found out about the hush money…Thats when I had the side eye look going. But hey, I’m not the one that he have to stand before when is all said, done and over.
And another thing: Why is he taking those ‘sexy’ pics with the fitted shirts?… And the one he took in his bathroom had me doing a double take…I’m like this can’t be Bishop taking pics like this AND he’s married!
Hmmmmmmm!
[...] Or maybe I could mention how Bishop KING Eddie Long felt the young men revealed too much about their “relationship” with him so he sought to get his HUSH money back. [...]
