In this video Jamal Parris is one of Eddie Long’s former ’spiritual sons’ talks about how he was minupulated into a relationship with the Bishop saying “you’re afraid to lose your father,” so he ended up being a “slave to a man you love”.
“We loved him…we would have to be the craziest kids in the world to have to come out and admit to another man touching us publicly. I can not get the sound of his voice out of my head, I can not forget the smell of his cologne and I can not forget the way he made me cry when I drove his cars on the way home not able to take enough showers to wipe the smell of him off my body…”

Am so tired of the church over looking it’s many issues, it’s refusal to lead a war on poverty an the horrific amount of sexual abuse at the hands of men of the cloth.
^^^^^ THANK U.
I believe dude – as a MAN it is tough to come in front of a camera and admit to this socially abhorent stigma.
Eddie long, your punishment lies not in the court of public opinion but in the depths of molten lava which I’m sure was built for spiritual cons in your mold.
I believe this man. I think he wouldn’t be saying anything if Eddie was still paying him but I think he is definitely telling the truth.
I feel so bad for these young man. Eddie Long is guilty and he knows it. So sad..
why are these men so eager to put all of this info in the public all of a sudden–try the man in court not the court of public opinion. If we believe their story, they are not saying that they were molested–they were above the age of consent and they were on his payroll. Bishop Long does speak out on gay issues and this makes him look like a hypocrite but not a criminal. now all of a sudden these grown ass men are saying that they were wronged when they carried on these affairs for money—Grow up! I bet this would go away if he paid them not to come out in the first place!!! its all about the money!!!! how many women would love to be on the payroll of a wealthy famous man!! its not good but its reality
Your right, people kill for money so why not lie
DAMN HE FINE!!! I see why Bishop Eddie Long slept with him.
i was thinking the same thing soon as i saw the pic of the video lol
At least the man has taste, (that’s not funny)
Sounds like a scorned lover to me.
