Carl J. Mimms, III, pictured above with his lovely wife Diane, is the spiritual head of Freedom Tabernacle of Praise Church in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The 48 year old pastor says he became a hot sweaty mess when Sprint invaded his privacy by giving his call log transcripts to his wife, who suspected him of having an affair.
Ms. Diane confronted the her husband with the phone records in front of their teenage daughter and several congregants and now Mimms is suing Sprint for having the nerve to give his wife access to jump-off’s phone numbers!
Bow your heads now and Que Meek Mills…. ♫”There’s some real niccas in the building… (Amen!)
Details below…
According to CourtNewsService, Mimms says he specifically told Sprint employees (on more than one occasion) “to not allow anyone to have access to his account except for him,” because he thought his wife might be snooping in his account.
Mimms was the only person listed under that account and says he called the company a second time and “reiterated his concern that his wife not have access to his account,” demanding that Sprint “shut down the internet access to his account.”
According to the lawsuit filed in Indianapolis Federal Court, the good Pastor claims a representative reassured him that no one else would have access to his account.
But in March all hell broke loose when Mimms’ wife confronted him with transcripts of his call logs, including calls to another woman, in front of their 15-year-old daughter. Then the first lady of the church got “gangsta” and called a church meeting to confront her husband about the phone records in front of several members of the congregation, according to the lawsuit. *giggle*
Mimms claims that when he called Sprint to complain, they told him that “someone had accessed information about his account” in a Sprint store two days before the confrontation with his wife.
“Plaintiff’s conversation with that Sprint employee or representative caused Plaintiff’s blood pressure to increase, his head to perspire, and his heart rate to increase,” the lawsuit states.
While the store manager apologized about the unfortunate incident and fired the employee who gave out Mimms’ information, it was not enough for the Pastor.
He’s suing Sprint Nextel Corp. and Entallaby and is seeking actual and punitive damages for their alleged breach of confidentiality, negligence and invasion of privacy. (source)
BTW… the pastor neither confirms nor denies his wife’s accusations in the lawsuit. (Take dat… take dat!)
Does Sprint really owe the Pastor for violating his privacy & his pain & suffering? I mean think about it…
Who’s really wrong in this situation? Sprint for giving his bill to his wife or the Pastor for cheating? Is one sin greater than the other?
God don’t like ugly….
What he did was morally wrong, but Sprint violated its privacy agreement. Sprint has an obligation to protect the privacy of its customers…that’s business. Cheating is personal.
Yep, your 100% on this one!
sprint is not HIPPA. Thats the only thing that can keep a spouse from knowing anything. Only 6 states have those laws where spouses can not speak on your behalf. Their privacy agreement is not contractual. Thats just a guarantee which does not hold up in the court of law.
HIPPA isn’t the only confidentiality law. Most companies have to abide by their privacy policies. I’m sure Sprint has a Privacy Policy that states no one other than an account holder can access account information and the only way Sprint can release it to a 3rd party is by a court order or power of attorney. Some of the first privacy laws were actually formed against telecommunication companies. He has a case especially if an employee of Sprint actively went into the system and gave her the info. If the wife went in and used a Spring self service kios and printed the info on her own that would a be a different story.
watch Sprint say it was a franchise/independent retailer <-BET SUMN!!?!
LOL!!!! Really?
Have a seat Carl J. Mimms III…..God don’t like ungly and you should know what’s done in the dark will come to the light. So many people play with the Lord and that is NOT a good thing. All I can say is Lord have MERCY on all of these false phophets
He will get the money too. Sprint broke the law. Without a warrant or anything from the court Sprint is in violation. She probably knew the employee to get that information…someone will be losing their job
first, i don’t condone his cheating. AT ALL!
now that we have that cleared up, how irresponsible and hoodrat-ish of the wife to do that in front of their daughter. the congregation too? i kind of get it bc she wants to expose her husband as a fraud. i just hope that she is ready to leave that man because what’s worse than your man cheating??? a man whom you expose as being a dirty dog and go back to him, a la mimi style! ladies, don’t tell people your business until your decision is final, final!
The GOD DAMN PASTOR is GUILTY for CHEATING on his WIFE. He took a VOW in Front of GOD & he is a Man of the CLOTH, do he is surely in the WRONG!!!
sprint is in the wrong
by the way, i know a man whose wife got the itemized bill redirected to her job. women will get what they want, especially if they feel slighted. although, i guess he has a case because right or wrong, his contract was breached on the company’s part.
Sprint may be wrong, but why do cheaters always want to get mad at everybody else but themselves?
Kim: Exactly!
co-sign
Sprint reps love to get in domestic situations, they allowed my ex to get into my acct and do all types of things. They even let.him get money back off my acct from payments he made 6 months PRIOR! So if he’s cheating that’s his business, they deserve to be sued.
If he made the payments there may be a legit reason why and how he got the money back.
Exactly God don’t like ugly, the pastor is to blame for cheating he should be ashamed of himself.
Both Sprint and Pastor are guilty
He mad cause he got caught!!! How u gonna tell your members yo do right when you not!!! Boi Stop!!!
Business ethics vs. personal morals – recipe for collision!
Sprint should pay up and the wife should get ALL of it!!
They need 2 throw that out of court lol.
Sprint was wrong for giving out confidential info.
However is a man of God and should have never been cheating.
Sprint will lose this IF in fact someone gave the info and she didnot access it through the internet. If it can be proven that the access was ever accessed through the internet regardless if the employee gave it to her, it will get thrown out of court…
Pastor is guilty of cheating and Sprint is contractually obligated to protect his account!!! He needs to sue and his wife needs to wait until he gets the check, then divorce his ass and get her cut!!!! Let the church say Amen!!!
While I do believe Sprint was in the wrong, legally he may have been required to submit his request in writing. Sometimes a verbal directive is not enough to protect yourself in such situations.
However, as a supposed spiritual leader, he is reaping what he sowed.
Oh what a tangled web we weave,
when first we practice to deceive! The pastor has a case against sprint. On the other hand so does the wife against her husband. He might as well step down now from that pulpit because his wife is going to drag him through the mud and get some of that Sprint money.
Sprint, pay the hell up!!! Hopefully the rest of these phone companies will take note. I would be pissed as hell if my phone company did that to me. His cheating was very wrong but why would his wife call a meeting and embarass herself and family in front of the whole church? That was ghetto.
I can only imagine the Sunday service after incident and after his meeting with an Attorney. You know he preached on David and Goliath. (All “sneeky preachers” do, once they’ve been busted) At the end of his sermon? Well….act, he exclaims, ” I GOT FOUR ROCKS LEFT!”, drops his mic and walks off the pulpit.
LMAO at your comment.
what is done in the dark,,will come to light–he ought to be shamed of himself, & all big and fat..yuck…
woman got a do what she gotta do, let the chips fall..I don’t blame her for what she did…
his flock will b makin excuses for him and still worship him
The Pastor! If the wife was on the account Sprint did nothing but fulfill a customers request.
The wife and husband are both losers. She didn’t need the phone records. She was doing too much. She is messy and he is a slut. Sprint isn’t the problem. They are idiots.
Since this is his wife we are talking about, this case could go either way. If Sprint gave random information to some random person (besides law enforcement/judge with a court order), that would be one thing, but his wife has access to pretty much everything he does in the eyes of the law, community property, etc.
This statement is the one that got me "According to CourtNewsService, Mimms says he specifically told Sprint employees (on more than one occasion) “to not allow anyone to have access to his account except for him,” because he thought his wife might be snooping in his account."
The fact that he was so super worried about his wife looking at his account and never worried about the fact that he was cheating speaks VOLUMES to his lack of character. People’s priorities are always in the wrong place.
I am dying at the graphics on this post. The wife shouldnt be addressing this in front of her child and church members. This is just one more reason why I dont go to church. Satan in a Sunday Hat.
I bet my car that the mistress was part of the church. Pastor "laying hands" on her alright. LMAO
HE NEED TO GET HIS LIFE!
I’m glad his wife did that to him
Sprint was wrong! He was wrong!
ROTFLMAO at dat jennifer lewis gif atlien u gone get me fired lol
I bet his fat ass was perspiring when he knew his deceit was out. He need to quit actin like that heart rate ain’t always on 10 too please not with that girth. He outta be ashamed sucks for sprint but he deserved it. It makes no sense how many people willingly have affairs and then get defensive about the subject.
Chile ,,,,, this is too much
Hahaha! Hilarious!!! Im 100% behind the wife on this one! If his sorry ass wasnt cheating in the first place then he wouldnt have to worry about keeping his records private. Sprint shouldnt give his ass a dime! And to be a pastor speaks volumes about how ppl still hide behind God to do their filth!!
Lol….He looks old enough to know that when you are legally married that what’s mine is yours & yours is mine! What she should’ve done was clean out his Bank Account(which she also cannot be sued for) and then embarrassed his ass in front of his dumb sheep church flock.
That’s what he gets for cheating!
@ATLIEN, Dead at that pic of "Ices Brown"! A mess! Take that!
God is exposing all these fakes one by one, as he said he would
Sprint better pay him his money so he can give half to his soon to be (hopefully) ex-wife. Or if he has any sense he will wait til he divorced to get the settlement from sprint. They are definitly wrong no matter how wrong he is, Sprint has an obligation to its customers and no her being his wife does not mean she casn be all up in his bidness.
Business is business. If his wife wasn’t an authorised second account holder and she wasn’t allowed certain information then Sprint is in the wrong. You don’t get involved in someone’s personal business. Code of Ethics. And even worse if she wasn’t on the account and they just gave out information. Smh.
In most cases the line in the marriage ceremony that talks about joining…applies in real life as well. For instance, if his fat ass would have had a heart attack while he was out trying to service another woman, Sprint would have looked to his wife to continue paying his cell phone bills.
The problem with us is that we have no shame. He, a minister, has no shame that he has broken commandments, dishonored his congregation and made God look bad. Instead, he’s looking for a payday.
What the wife should do is sue him and whatever, hard up ass woman or man, who was sleeping with him for misusing marital assets. If he paid for a motel, bought a dinner, charged a nightie, he misused marital assets and should pay.
Fat fool.
OMG…those avatars are phucking hilarious! I can’t! Michele…you are bad for my health! I can’t stop laughing.
Instead of telling Sprint to shutdown the access, did it ever occur to him to shutdown the affair?
Depends on what legal right the wife had to access the account and Sprint’s policy on accessing it.
Just because he told them to not let anyone else have access, doesn’t mean they were legally obligated to oblige.
He was definitely wrong for cheating… Sprint’s liability is questionable.
This is an egregious violation of trust on the pastor’s part and privacy on Sprint’s part.
I understand they may be a major advertiser on your site (*winks*) but Sprint deserves to pay through the NOSE for allowing his information to be disclosed.
… if his ass hadn’t cheated there** wouldn’t have been any records to give up o.o
DEAD
hilarious!!!!!
this is rediculous
He’s a tool….
Its about the money not about the saving of Souls….Whats more important “The money he won’t be getting in the stupid lawsuit or He asking God for forgiveness…..
Even though they are married, there are privacy laws, so he may have a case. She should take him for the settlement!
OK lemme just say this:
1) Who would cheat with his fat sweaty quarter pounder looking ass?
2) Instead of complaining to Sprint about your phone records, how about you not cheat on your wife?
3) Why the wife gotta drag the child into it? I udnerstand the other church members because they might have to vote him out but the child need not be hurt and involved in the madness.
4) What makes him think he has a case against Sprint? All he is doing is making himself look more like an ass than he already looks.
5) Thou are one flesh so whatever he got, she also got and that includes Sprint records. I just hope the Pastor didn’t give his wife something extra that requires antibiotics. SMH
That’s his wife. Yes, your husband or wife can have access to your phone records. Even if you have a separate checking account and you file for divorce, if you don’t have a prenuptial saying those funds are off the table you would have to disclose that in your divorce proceedings. This so called pastor is a disgrace. And her daughter was old enough to hear it, and since he’s the pastor it should be addressed with the congregation. He needs to take responsibility for his actions and his reckless disrespect for his family and his church.
Nope, he needs to look into the Comunictions Act. I think it allows the spouse access.
I work for Sprint…. If they have the pin number on the account, we are allowed to access it. On the screen where the pin number is to be input, there’s a section for special notes. If it was not listed about access being limited, who is the employee supposed to know? Another thing…. On the sprint.com website you can register the cell number if you have the pin number. From there, you can access previous and current bills. You can change the settings from non detail billing to detail billing. It’s a number of ways to access billing. For the employee to lose their job for something a previous rep didn’t input is unfair.
It’s not sprint prob tht he was cheating . U hve to hve pin # or favorite hobby to get info . He’ll, I share sprint acc with someone and cnt Evn get general info becuz I hve no pin. If they do sprint has right to be sued and employee fired . She already knew he was cheating anyway and she prob still with his big butt. Maybe was all set up so they cld sue sprint and split money. Of not , next time you got dirt do wht everybody else do and get a second phone . Preferably an Obama phone
And i wish a gas company , phone comp or any other comp would violate my rights. I’m not into suing but it would get me caught up on paying my past due balances. So i surely would. My Sins not between me and phone comp, they r between me and God. So somebody violate me
