Too Soon?? Bishop Eddie Long’s Accusers Planning Tell-All Book Titled ‘Foursaken’…

Jan, 17 2017 | Written by ATLien
It’s been a while since we heard from the young men who accused Bishop Eddie Long of sexually abusing them, but they are alive and well and reportedly planning to tell their story.

As you know, Long passed away this past weekend after along battle with a previously undisclosed ailment.

It’s only been 2 days since he passed away but now that he’s gone, at least four of the five men who received a financial settlement from New Birth Missionary Baptist church back in 2011 are planning to release a tell-all book about the situation.

Details below…

The AJC reports that Spencer LeGrande, Maurice Robinson and Anthony Flagg released the following statement when the outlet inquired about Long’s passing:

“As much as we’d like to make a statement about the passing of Bishop Eddie Long, we’ve all decided to remain silent, for now,”

Long’s accusers said in a joint response given exclusively to The AJC. They said Jamal Parris, the fourth former New Birth member to sue Long, also consented to the statement.

“We’re all brothers in this,” LeGrande said.

Their statement concluded, “Our perspectives will be addressed in our book, Foursaken, which we hope to release soon.”

That’s right, you will soon hear the sordid details directly from the mouths of Long’s accusers.

Spencer LeGrande, who now owns a successful sneaker cleaning company, said they’re still shopping for a publisher but the book will focus on their lives after breaking ties with the controversial bishop, who consistently denied the allegations against him.

LeGrande is now a father himself but he was fatherless and 15 when he met Long at one of New Birth’s satellite churches in Charlotte. LeGrande said the Bishop filled the void left by his father, stating “I got you … I will be your dad.”

The lack of a strong male influence was a common thread that bound Long’s accusers and Jamal Parris revealed back in 2011 that his father was abusive and rarely present.

Parris, who wrote an open letter to Bishop Long during the scandal, said he met the bishop, whom he said he would eventually call “daddy,” when he was 14 and new to Atlanta.

Both men said they were 17 when the sexual advances began. By then he had taken them on several trips, to Kenya, Honduras and the Bahamas, among other exotic locales, introducing them to world-famous celebrities and lavishing them with new cars and their own apartments.

Long never addressed the scandal directly, but in a sermon last year, he stated he had briefly entertained taking his own life.

“I had a moment…I had a moment…I wanted to kill myself and was ready,” he told his New Birth congregation, referring to a time when he said he felt “condemned from the four corners of the Earth.”

“My family loved me,” he said. “My church loved me…Regardless of what anybody said, love lifted me and carried me. And you didn’t judge me.”

Now that the mega church leader is deceased, at least 4 of his accusers will have the final say on the most trying chapter in the life of New Birth and its bishop.

What do you think about news of an Eddie Long tell-all book?

  Now from what I understood when this was going down in 2011 I believe , I remember that in order for them to have received their settlement checks they had to sign a gag order

  Don’t know nobody want to know! You were old enough to know right from wrong. Being molested is one thing but to keep going only to call him out after he stops paying….. Ijs. Well according to the stories I heard…

  As a victim of sexual abuse as a minor I honestly believe the intentions of the individuals are unjust or even if they were truly abused. If you’ve been violated as the “supposed” victim’s you want justice. It appears to me they were attempting to take advantage of a situation and in doing so didn’t care that Bishop Long’s reputation was tarnished in order to do so. It’s so easy to come after Bishop Long and etc. regarding this. However no one is looking at the obvious. First you would pursue criminal action because your intention is to ensure this doesn’t happen to anyone else along with obtain justice for the wrong that happened to you. Then after that you could also pursue a civil case for monetary damages like counseling and to help rehab your life. These individuals went straight for money, so to me it looks as if they’re were doing this with malicious intent not justice. When someone settles out of court (as I’m sure we all know) the defendant isn’t placed on a sex registry list, the documents and agreements are sealed shut so no public record, nor are we privileged towards specifics of what actually happened. Now you tell me if something like this happened to you you’re going to agree to something that prohibits you from informing others of the specifics of your abuse. Yeah right. Read between the lines people and please keep in mind this is coming from a victim of sexual abuse.

  They were there, they know what happened.. We dont. They have a right to tell their story… RIP Bishop this is all behind him now, He has stood before God… His ONLY judge!!!

  Whew too much
- Sean Williams
  
  Well, they would have faced litigation had they written it while he was alive. The (more than likely) signed a nondisclosure agreement as a part of their settlement. That becomes void after said period of time or once the party accused is deceased.
  Although people may see it in poor taste, but they really have to strike while the iron is hot. I wouldn’t be surprised if they started writing the book when his first video surfaced of his dramatic weight loss.
  So, to the question. Is it too soon? No. The timing is perfect but as I said, some may see it being done in poor taste.

  I saw him on Steve Harvey show and he did tell his side of the story. He denies their allegations. I don’t think they are aloud to talk about it as part of the law suit settlement.

  I have been here and back in this situation. A gag order was issued with those checks. The criminal investigation didn’t have enough evidence. Most don’t. Mine didn’t either. His family gave my mother some money and he killed himself. Finally it came out 10 years later, he also molested his niece and daughter. But the family hid it from the police and my family. I have told my story countless times. It helps me heal and other to know just because they famous or a leader don’t mean it didn’t happen!! Also mine was a deacon and assistant pastor in a very very famous North Jersey African American church!!
