RECAP: Preachers of LA Episode #4 – Fonzworth Bentley & Family Make Cameo Appearance [WATCH FULL VIDEO]

Oct, 31 2013 | Written by ATLien
Atlanta’s own Fonzworth Bentley (aka Derrick Watkins), his wife Faune Chambers and their then 5 week old daughter Zoie made a special appearance on Preachers of LA this week.

It’s the 4th episode of season 1 and Bentley shows up at Bishop Clarence McClendon’s home seeking guidance about balancing work life and home life now that he’s a new dad.

[Sidebar: Congratulations to the happy couple! Their new arrival was born July 30th in L.A.]

Bishop Ron Gibson and his wife plan an intervention for his drug addicted sister. Gibson feels that if he removes her from her current surroundings, she may have a chance of getting and staying clean.

Deitrick Haddon surprises his fiance/baby mama Dominque with a new home, and while their wedding is still a month away, he wants her to move in. But instead of ‘shacking up’ and being condemned by the ever watchful eyes of the church, Haddon has a plan.

Recap + watch the full episode under the cut…

Bishop McClendon confides in Fonzworth Bentley that he has a stalker.

While that could explain why both he and Fonzworth are rocking a similar outfit, I’m going to assume that it’s not Bentley who McClendon claims has been sending death threats.

Concidentally, death threat story pretty much explains the bodyguards McClendon caught flack for during the first episode.

McClendon explains to his staff during a briefing that he has a mission and wants to stay alive to carry it out.

When you’re in the public eye, people have a lot of opinions about what they think you should do. But one of my number one responsibilities is the well being, the protection… of my family and my house.

I’ve got to do what I have to do.

Moving on…

Deitrick Haddon surprises his future wife Dominque with a new house and pushes her to get married sooner than their wedding ceremony so that they can reside in their new home without ‘shacking’.

Dominique agrees that they can go ahead and get married now (privately) but their wedding ceremony must still go on next month.

Deitrick and Dominique plan two weddings, one for just them and the 2nd one for the world. It’s their choice to be together NOW even though the formal ceremony is only a month away.

Dominque’s mother prepares her backyard for the ceremony and the couple enlists a minister friend to carry it out.

Instead of rings, they use string to symbolize their union (that can’t be a good sign) and even the minister seems baffled as he states, “what you’re saying by tying this yarn around her finger is that you two will be bound together…”

[SIDEBAR: Correct me if I’m wrong… but the yarn could be untied (or cut) right? Chile… I guess.]

The ceremony was cute though…

Bishop Ron Gibson’s storyline this week focused on his drug addicted sister.

Gibson enlists his family members to head to Compton for a personal intervention to grab his sister out of her one bedroom drug den.

During their intervention, Gibson gets his sister to a safe place, which happens to be Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles and she’s on her cell phone the whole way there telling ‘someone’ of her whereabouts. As they sit at the restaurant offering her options, a man walks in. It’s her drug dealer. *sigh*

“If I’m sick… he gets my medicine for me” she tells Gibson. It’s just too much for him to take and he asks the man to leave.

Gibson then offers his sister a safe place in rehab and she takes him up on his offer.

Noticeably absent this episode was Bishop Noel Jones… (I secretly stan for his storyline) 😆

  I love Gibson and Haizlip for they help and teach folks. McClendon is an arrogant waste of space for me. Deitrick wants what he wants and will twist the words as he see fits. When they tied the knot literally and figuratively tonight she SHOLE looked swole. There is some good but DEFINATELY some rotten apples. Fonz little baby was adorable.
  
  Janice Caslin
  
  I really like Pastor Ron and what he has done since the show started. The rest IDK Dietrick Haddon has a temper, and he wants his way and he will do whatever to get his way. Noel Jones needs to handle his personal life.

  McClendon is nothing but a sell out…I really want him off the show. I love that Gibson & Haizlip is so real about their pasts and they want to help people out there. That’s what a real person of the ministry does. I would like to see more of Paster Chauncey & his wife I think they can do something good too. As for Noel, smh that’s all I can say.

  I agree with everything you said! I honestly think Deitrick did that spontaneous ceremony b/c he couldn’t control his flesh anymore and just wanted to have sex. I mean, the wedding was 1 month away, he couldn’t wait 30 days? Lol… That guy has one hell of a temper and already looks like he’s controlling….
  
  Dominique’s mama is funny as hell, lol.
  
  I really wanna know more about these threats being made to McClendon…Tried to google for more info but got nothing…

  I met Deitrick in Hollywood and he is the most honest, sincere and driven individual that I’ve ever met his age in ministry! King David struggled with adultery and murder and Jesus mentions himself in association with David in Revelation 22! Jesus is perfect, we are all imperfection going towards perfection! Jesus was and is the Son of God without sin! We are all sons of God coming forgiven of sin and being uncovered by the flesh (Romams 8:14 & John 3:16-17). God sent his Son not to condemn us but through his finished atoned work he will save us! Brother Deitrick is a true man of God journeying through the wilderness of this flesh like us all! Don’t judge lest you be judged! God bless you!
- Tiffany Whitehead
  
  I agree with Gwen. I love Bishop Ron and his wife and they should be proud of how they are represented on the show. Deitrick wants to do what he wants to do. Bishop McClendon is just extra with an entourage for no reason.

  I’m still confused as to why Haddon is so concerned about "Shacking up" but not about having kids out of wedlock and being divorced!!! GTFOH Sir
  
  Is That Right?
  
  Thank you!!!

  That’s why he had that quick ceremony in his backyard. It wasn’t about wanting to move his family in, he just couldn’t control his flesh anymore and wanted to have sex [lol]. Like I posted above, the wedding was in 1 MONTH, he couldn’t wait 30 days to get married?
- Kim Mack
  
  Love Bishop Ron and Hazlip. The others have too much suspect behavior, but this seems to be the new normal in the Ministry world. No offense but accepted world wide.

  Pastor Haizlip and first lady Gibson. The rest are players and fraudulent.

  Is it me, or does this show seems fake. Staged! I did not get a good vibe at all with the whole "intervention" scene with the pastors’ sisters. And the way he dresses, I’m done!
  
  Mocha2009
  
  I feel like its staged as well. I know reality shows are staged to a certain degree. However, in this show it doesn’t feel right.
  
  I like Bishop Gibson and Haizlip but the scenes with the transgender woman, the gang members, the intervention, even running into the extremely thin woman and her dog in the park seems staged to me.
  
  The others are just annoying as heck.
- Tami Sharee
  
  Soooooo…they´re just gonna keep adding down low gay guys to the cast huh?
- Dasiamay
  
  In my opinion, Deitrick wants to be on both sides of the fence and you can’t do that when you’re leading a flock of people or anything else. I believe in leading by example. Yes, he is man; therefore, he will make mistakes. However, he’s preaching the word of God and telling people to get their lives in order yet his lifestyle is the complete opposite of what he’s telling folks. So far Gibson and Haizlip are my favorites. They seam very genuine.
  
  Dasiamay
  
  *seem*

  deitrick in this show is not in the role of a pastor.. just a gospel recording artist. on the previews for the next episode it seems like he’s being asked to get behind a pulpit again. how is his lifestyle the complete opposite? (unless you know him & something ‘we’ dont know) seeing him & his fiancee/wife interact with each other and the pastors is very true to what other younger christian couples can go through (imo). i cant tell if his burning passion to be with his family is b/c hes horny or bc he just really wants a family, but its nice to see someone that dedicated to making a relationship work on tv. not ratchet "life partners" situations. lol
  
  i like gibson & haizlip too! the only one im not there for is mcclendon. you’d think he was the POTUS the way he swear someone’s trying to assassinate him. maybe he can blame editing.

  Bishop Ron is a loving brother..Deitrick is hype and not in a good way. He’s very anxious(about everything)and his g-friend(now wife)looks pregnant(again)..I like Dominique’s mom she seem really sweet.
  
  Bishop McClendon need to hire real tactical men for protection not church goers..they might be able to push you out the way but,take a bullet or fight for you is a but too much.
  
  Tan
  
  Dominique does look pregnant. I noticed that when she walked in the room carrying her daughter and asking mom to babysit. Pushing up the wedding a month might compensate the time frame between wedding date and birth. Time will tell.
  
  Fl to Va chick
  
  Yes! that’s when I noticed too..her stomach was large and she was all out of breath when she sat down. He probably don’t want the neg. feedback if she is pregnant(again)w/out marriage.
  
  Gwendella
  
  You really can see it when they said I do and when Fay came to the house. Yes she shole looks swole.
- Carmen
  
  I don’t want to bring race into this convo but I just feel that McClendon wanted his mansion, Bentley, money and fame along with his white wife and mixed kids for the complete "I’ve made it" look. My hubby can’t stand reality TV but when he saw this scene he said exactly what I was thinking. McClendon said that GOD told him to divorce his first wife and marry the one he’s with now. He married her 7 days after his divorce was final.
  
  Ron seems to have this phony humble act going on. His sister already had a mic on when they pulled up to the crack house. Why would he roll through the hood in his Benz truck? If I was going to get my sis from the crackhouse, I would want as less attention to the situation as possible. And back on the first episode, those 2 gang members never asked to be saved. Yet Ron had them all onstage repeating a prayer.
  
  Many times I yelled at the TV: "Dominique RUN!!! Deitrick’s ego has no room for Dominique and I feel that she will find out the hard way.
  
  This show is scripted and staged but entertaining none the less.
  
  free kroy
  
  All OG’s and Thugs roll through the hood in Benz, BMW’s, Caddy’s, ect. Bishop Ron never said he was not an OG, he is just saved and trying to go back and save those that are still in the pits of hells where God delivered him from. Unlike McClendon, straight sell out, forgot where he came from. Why wasn’t his wife at the Tea? Is she too good for the black first ladies?

  Love the show. Deitrick and Bishop Gibson seem to be my favorite at this point.
  
  Why not change the channel if you are disappointed with this show? Better yet, design your own show and select the preachers you would like to see.
  
  Some people are so annoying.

  Gibson & Haizlip have a heart for the people. Don´t see much of Chaney.

  Ok what is up with Dominique’s belly. Idk she looks preg on the show but not swollen during the interview? Michelle help a sister figure this out. Do you think he has another secret that isn’t out yet. Baby # 2!!!
- Mrs. Thomas
  
  Ok I am convinced she was pregnant with baby # 2 during the taping of this show!!! Does anyone else think so?
- Victoria
  
  I can not take Deitrick and Dominique seriously. You catch morals about shacking up because you are a good girl who respects the sanctity of the sun of living together out of wedlock. Where does the morals come in when they where cheating and had a daughter out of wedlock???? PLEASE HAVE SEVERAL SEATS!!!!!
- DopeBoiFRESH
  
  Is Noel gay and frontin’ with his friend?
- Just Shauna
  
  Exactly what constitutes this show to be "not of God?" Everyone said the same thing when Kirk Franklin came out with stop. Everyone condemning them are no better than they are. Sin is sin is sin so if you condemn them for their actions then condemn yourselves for passing judgement. Yes Deitrick had a baby out of wedlock but he has gotten it right with God through repentance and stepped down from his role as Pastor. True repentance is asking for forgiveness and not repeating it again. Just because he had a baby out of wedlock doesn’t mean he should continue sinful behavior. He has every right to want his wife and child living in the same household so that he doesn’t miss priceless, sacred moments in his child’s life. True he had a baby while he was still legally married but they had already ended the marriage but had to wait on the legality of everything such as dividing assets. His ex-wife cheated before the dissolution of the marriage. People seem to think Pastors are perfect but they are human. God looks at the heart of man and sad to say a lot of people going to hell from the front row of the church for sins of the heart.
- Shay Shay
  
  Deitrick needs to grow up. He can’t handle when he’s told he’s wrong and has to have everything his way. If the wedding was only a month away, why couldn’t they wait? They waited this long. He seems like a total trainwreck about to veer himself and Dominique off the track again.
  
  McClendon is wack and has delusions of grandeur. If someone is stalking and really trying to kill him, I’m sure its because something shady he did. He just seems like the type of who does a bunch of backhanded, undercover, shady stuff.
