Bishop Eddie Long has reached a settlement with the four plantiffs who accused him of using his influence to coerce them into sexual situations. Deets inside.....
Though he had previously told his congregation, "This thing I'm gonna fight," Bishp Eddie Long has decided to settle with the four male plantiffs who accused him of using his influence to coerce them into sexual acts.
This brings a close to a case that had many twists and turns since it was launched in September 2010. So what did Bishop Eddie Long, who's been accused of being homophobic, settle on? We will likely never know....at least officially. Clearly a gag order is in place and the only persons speaking so far are lawyers for Bishop Long and the plantiffs. And even they (the lawyers) aren't saying much.
B.J. Bernstein, who represented the four men who sued Bishop Long, said neither she nor the plaintiffs, Maurice Robinson, Jamal Parris, Anthony Flagg and Spencer LeGrande, would be available for an interview "on this matter, now or in the future. "
And all Barbara Marschalk, who represented New Birth Missionary Baptist Church and LongFellows Youth Academy, would say was "...the lawsuits will be dismissed, with prejudice, by close of business tomorrow."
Major side eye.....I wonder how this will impact New Birth and will the bishop receive a hero's welcome at church on Sunday?
