    Another Bishop Eddie Long Accuser (Spencer LeGrande) Speaks Out! [VIDEO]

    Sep, 30 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Yet another litigant in the Bishop Eddie Long Sex Scandal has been found by cameras! Atlanta news station WSB-TV couldn’t be outdone by the Fox-5 I-team’s riveting Colorado interview with Jamal Parris, so they set out to locate Spencer Legrande in North Carolina.

    LeGrande, a NC resident who filed the 4th lawsuit against Long, said Wednesday he continues to pray for the megachurch pastor.

    LeGrande, 22,? who was interviewed by Channel 2 Action News at his home in Charlotte, N.C., said he told his family and a few friends, including a police officer, about the sexual relationship, but he didn’t decide to come forward until he heard others had accused the bishop of sexual coercion.

    “They said bishop has been accused of something, and my heart dropped,” he said. “And that was my time that God told me to release what I had to say.”


    LeGrande first met Long when he was 15 and a member at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Charlotte, where he and his mother were among the founding families, according to his suit. He said they first had sex when he was 17 and on a trip with Long to Nairobi, Kenya. He later moved to Atlanta.

    He said that in the time since he filed the suit, he has “been free.”

    “Once God’s time is ready for it to expose everything it’s going to happen, and I just … want people to know to keep praying,” he said. “Keep praying for our strength and for us getting through this.”

    Attorney BJ Bernstein Turns Down Oprah + Her Take on Jamal Parris Interview… [VIDEO]

    Sep, 29 2010 | Written by ATLien

    BJ Berstein, the attorney representing litigants in the Bishop Eddie Long Sex Scandal recently spoke to CNN about Jamal Parris’ statements. I noted during my twitter rant last night that Jamal was found by I-Team investigators somewhere in Colorado (basically in hiding). The young man had no script… no attorney by his side… no ipad… no sermon… no nothing. All he had was the pain of the memories from his experience with Long.

    [READ: Jamal Parris (Bishop Long Accuser) Breaks His Silence – VIDEO]

    BJ Bernstein agrees with me and during her recent CNN interview, stated that Jamal’s pain was evident as he had been caught completely off guard.

    Jamal was at a grocery store in the middle of the night.? He wasn’t expecting a reporter to be there. You could see by his face he’s kind of shocked and … first he said ‘no’ and then the reporter kept asking him questions.

    This is very raw for him. And there was just this one question that opened the floodgates for him. It opened a floodgate of what has happened to him… his feelings. This is very real…

    Bernstein also noted that this isn’t easy for the young litigants, which is why she’s turned down all interview requests, including Oprah!

    Women experience it, young girls do, young boys do, young men do. And the lawsuit alleges this is something that started with young men and 14, 15, 16… building a relationship. And the the lawsuit alleges that there’s exploitation.

    That’s why I’ve fiercely predicted against everyone’s wishes, against everyone in this world EVEN OPRAH… to say ‘no’ we’re not sitting down with these boys for an interview at this point.

    This situation is getting deeper and deeper by the day and in my opinion, the fact that Jamal was basically ambushed coming out of a store at night in COLORADO speaks volumes about the young man’s credibility. There was nothing but raw emotion coming from his statements.

    Jamal Parris (Bishop Long Accuser) Breaks His Silence… [VIDEO]

    Sep, 28 2010 | Written by ATLien

    Jamal Parris, the 3rd accuser in the Bishop Eddie Long Sex Scandal, breaks his silence and speaks out publicly about Bishop Eddie Long…. and he has plenty to say!

    “You look at our eyes,” Parris said. “You hear the pain in our voice. We have no reason to lie to this man.”

    Jamal Parris is one of four young men who have filed sexual misconduct lawsuits against Bishop Eddie Long, accusing him of using scripture and church money to sexually seduce them.

    On Sunday, Bishop Eddie Long spoke for the first time, never flatly denying the claims, but vowing to fight. “I am not the man being portrayed on the television,” Bishop long told the congregation at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church on Sunday. “That’s not me.”

    [READ: Bishop Eddie Long Wants You To Know… [TRANSCRIPT + VIDEO]

    Since last week, none of the four young men have talked publicly about the lawsuit– until now.? Jamal Parris was found shopping at a 24-hour store in Colorado and he didn’t hold back on the pain he felt towards a man he considered to be his “spiritual father”.

    If you thought that open letter posted to his facebook page was emotional, check out what Parris says on camera!

    CNN’s Don Lemon Makes Shocking Confession On Air… [VIDEO]

    Sep, 28 2010 | Written by ATLien

    In light of the Bishop Eddie Long Sex Scandal CNN’s Don Lemon invited New Birth Missionary Church Members on air to speak up in support of their Bishop.

    The young members were unyielding in their support of their church and didn’t seem fazed at the serious allegations brought forward by the 4 young men.

    In America, nearly half a million children are sexually abused each year. Over the weekend, we found out CNN anchor Don Lemon was one of them. The revelation seemed to surprise him as much as it did the panel of young people he was addressing on live TV.


    Lemon addressed his shocking confession immediately after the show via his Twitter account, stating:

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸

        The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSI The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSIER, chile! 
The landlord has officially clapped back in court — filing their answer to Kenya’s counterclaim, and whew, they brought receipts on receipts! 

According to the filing, Kenya hasn’t paid a dime in rent or utilities since December 2024, which technically makes her a squatter! 😬 And about that $80K tenant improvement allowance she’s been fighting for? The landlord says she’s in default and violated several terms, meaning that deal is void.

This whole thing is turning into a Bravo-level courtroom saga… minus the peach! 🍑

The full 99-page amended complaint (with all the juicy details) is available now on Patreon + Members Only! http://patreon.com/atlien or hit the link in bio for the exclusive legal tea.

So what do y’all think? Can Kenya spin this, or is the Hair Spa officially a wrap?
