NEWS/STORIES: BISHOP EDDIE ADDRESSES CONGREGATION / CNN’S DON LEMON ADMITS TO BEING VICTIM OF PEDOPHILE

Since our last post regarding the Eddie Long scandal, a fourth man by the name of Spencer LeGrande, 22, has come forward. In response to the allegations, the bishop spoke in front of his congregation on Sunday (September 26) and here’s what he had to say:

“There have been allegations and attacks made on me. I have never in my life portrayed myself as a perfect man, but I am not the man that’s being portrayed on the television. That’s not me. That is not me. I’ve been accused. I’m under attack. I want you to know as I said earlier, I’m not a perfect man. But this thing, I’m going to fight. And I want you to know one other thing, I feel ike David against Goliath, but I got five rock and I haven’t thrown one yet.” [ SOURCE ]

Don Lemon Opens Up About His Past

In light of the Eddie Bishop scandal, CNN’s Don Lemon interviewed three members of Eddie Long’s church New Birth on Saturday (September 25). In the mist of listening to the interviewees and their thoughts on the situation, Lemon openly admitted on national television that he was a victim of a pedophile. Afterwards, he responded to his Twitter followers:

“Thank you all for your kind words. I had no idea I’d say that on national tv. It just came out. Sadly, it’s the truth for so many young men.” [ SOURCE ]
