While Long publicly denied the allegations while silently signing his name to those settlement checks to his five victims, his dutiful wife Vanessa G. Long suffered in silence by his side.

It had been rumored that Vanessa Long had moved out of the couple’s mansion months ago, but New Birth officials quickly went to work to dispute the rumors in the media.

The wife of the mega church leader has now officially filed for divorce and issued a statement this morning (December 2, 2011).
Here’s what Vanessa G. Long wants everyone to know…
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.
It is my sincere hope that this matter can be resolved expeditiously, harmoniously, and fairly. I ask that you respect my privacy and that of my family, as my attorneys and I have agreed that we will not try this case in the media, and I do not intend to make any further statements concerning this matter.
I also ask that the public pray for my entire family during this difficult period of transition.
Thank you, and may God continue to bless and keep each of you.
I just wanna know what took her so long to stop drinking the Kool-aid. I sincerely give Vanessa Long mad props for standing by her man as long as she did but once he basically admitted his homosexual proclivities by signing those settlement checks, she shoulda been bounced.
Now Long is free to marry whatever any boy he pleases….
Wow, very sad case in deed! Divorce is sad…
i think she took her time for some consultation. thats all.
About time…may God continue to bless her. I know it is hard for everyone involved
Good for her. And I wish her the best. This had to be an extremely trying and humiliating time for her. She stayed longer than I would have.
Eddie Long is sick and for all who still support him even after the women who sleeps with him is like c ya are sick right along with Him May God Bless Her !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is a shame! I heard they had been separated you go girl that fool dangerous! God bless her!
bout time!!

Now, that she’s going to get major $$ from him and book/movie deals, Bishop Long can finally play house with his boytoy at a condo in Buckhead & finally come out…LOL
Can’t wait for church on Sunday, I will be laughing at them kool aid church folk too loud!!
I hope she joins next season’s Housewives of Atlanta..dont be tardy for the party!!!
Just a mess. Poor woman never signed up for this humiliation. I can’t imagine walking down the street and holding my head up high and proud and having a pedaphile for a husband. The Lord said many will come in his name but do not represent him!
i feel sad for her …wishing good luck and good health to you vanessa long…
Read ajc.com. She just withdrew the papers!!!
I’ve just read on twitter she decided to withdraw it. But at any rate you can try to run but the issue will still be there. God bless Mrs. Vanessa its shameful the situation she has been put in.
She’s withdrawn the petition now. o_O
WITHDREW the papers???…well she must all the weird freaky crap…whatever (eyeroll)
SHE NEED TO MAKE FREAKY EDDIE DIVORCE THAT LACE FRONT!!! LOL
Let’s not judge just because he signed settlement checks doesn’t mean he is gay; his attorney might have sold him out and told him to settle! Now we all have to judge ourselves and keep ourselves in line and stop judging others and keep them and ourselves prayer!
