BREAKING NEWS: JAMAL PARRIS IN NEW INTERVIEW SAID HIM AND BISHOP LONG HAD SEX IN THE CHURCH BEFORE AND AFTER SERVICE!!!!!!

"Bishop Long is in the pulpit, Eddie Long is in the private," said Parris. "And we know Eddie Long. That's a whole other man."

Those are the words uttered by Jamal Parris the oldest of the 3 other accusers who have accused bishop Eddie Long of Sexual Abuse and coersion. Jamal also stated that "Enough is enough," said Parris. "This man is-- he's done too much damage to the lives of young men and it's time it stops." and the nail that nailed the coffin shut for me was this following statement

 "Being around him is almost like a drug," Parris explained. "You can't believe the place you are at in your life and the things you are doing and the cars you are driving, and the people you are meeting. So, it becomes, if I want to continue to feel this love and this power, I'll do whatever my dad wants me to."
Jamal says that what the bishop wanted was sex. He said it began after he became of age, and he said it was constant. "His house. The hotels. His condos. In the church," Parris said. "In the church, before and after service."

Now if you guys do not believe this is damaging evidence and that this 4 victims are in it for the money please believe its more than money!!

V-103, FOX 5's Dale Russell Discuss Bishop Eddie Long Accuser's Interview

Part 1



Part 2


Part 3


This morning Dale Russell the reporter who interviewed Jamal Parris which was aired last night on Fox 5 in Atlanta came on to the V-103 Frank Ski & Wanda morning show to discuss his interview with Jamal get into the interview.

Jamal Parris Speaks:Plantiff in Eddie Long Civil Case

Once we get video we will posted but here is the written version of the interview that led to Parris Harris now 23 and living in Colorado and the 3rd of the 4th person to file a Cilvil Lawsuit against Bishop Eddie Long who is the Bishop at New Birth Missionary Church in Lithonia, Georgia.


 Below is Dale Russell of Fox 5 Atlanta interview with Parris Harris:

ATLANTA, Ga. - For the first time, one of the men filing suit against Bishop Eddie Long is speaking out. In an exclusive interview with FOX 5 senior I-Team reporter Dale Russell, Jamal Parris tells a story of what he calls a love-hate relationship with a man he called "daddy."

Following Bishop Long's sermon on Sunday, Russell caught a plane to Colorado, which is home to Jamal Parris-- the oldest of all the accusers in the case. In a parking lot, late at night, Parris told Russell a story of love, anger, and desire to protect other young men.

Jamal Parris didn't want to talk at first, but before he left us, he had plenty to say about Bishop Eddie Long.
"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.

"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."

On Sunday, Bishop Eddie Long spoke for the first time, never flatly denying the claims, but vowing to fight.
"I feel like David against Goliath," Long said.
Since last week, none of the four young men have talked publicly about the lawsuit-- until now. We found Jamal Parris shopping at a 24-hour store in Colorado. Initially, he was reluctant to talk.
But once he started, he told a riveting story about how as a young teen-- a 14 year old with no father in his life-- he joined New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. Bishop Eddie Long came into his life. He said Long said to call him "daddy" and to trust him with spiritual guidance.
"I loved him," Parris said. "I always have loved him for what he taught me. How he left us hurt more than anything else in my life."
Parris claims in his lawsuit the father-like figure used scripture to justify sex. And he lavished money, cars, jewelry, trips in the Bishop's private jet, even homes on the teens, sometimes with funds from the church coffers.
"You finally have a father that you've always wanted for and always dreamed of," Parris said. "He would just walk away from you if you don't give him what he wants. So you end up turning into something you never thought you would be, which is now a slave to a man that you love."
As he claimed in his lawsuit, Jamal says the bishop began a slow sexual seduction, which became more intimate and more intense after the young boys became of legal age.
"So, while the media look at us, how could grown men let them touch him? This man has manipulated us since childhood," Parris explained. "He was our father. We loved him."
Through his attorney, Craig Gillen, Bishop Long has called the allegations in the lawsuits false.
In the end, Parris says when the bishop loses interest in sex and sets his sights on other younger men, the older boys are left behind.
"The man turned his back on us when he had no more need for us," Parris said. "That's not a father, that's a predator."
Parris says he attempted to resolve the matter privately with the bishop, but when that didn't work, lawsuits were filed identifying the young men accusing the bishop.
"We would have to be the craziest kids in the world to come out and admit another man touched us publicly," said Parris. "To believe this is about money is ludicrous."
He says he loved Bishop Long, but he can't escape the nightmare of what he says Long did to him as a young man.

"I can't get the sound of his voice out of my head," said Parris. "I can't get the smell of his cologne away. How he made me cry when driving home when not enough showers could wipe the smell of his body off of my body."

Jamal Parris, near the end of our interview, said he wanted to speak directly to Bishop Eddie Long, and he turned to our camera to do so.

"But that man can not look me in my eye and tell me we did not live this pain," Parris said. "Why you can sit in front of the church and tell them that you categorically deny it. You can't say that to our face. And you know this. You are not a man but a monster."

And with that, Jamal Parris got in his car and drove off into the night.
We tried to contact Bishop Eddie Long, but his spokesperson did not return our calls.

Bishop Eddie Long compared himself to the Biblical tale of David fighting the giant. "Please hear this he said: I’ve been accused. I’m under attack. I want you to know as I said earlier I am not a perfect man. ... But this thing I’m going to fight. I feel like David against Goliath, but I’ve got five rocks and I haven’t thrown one yet."

Bishop Eddie Long Sex Scandal Updates

Sometimes I am proud to be a gay media blogger and this last few days has been that time. The whole Eddie Long Scandal has been beyond crazy and it gets crazier by the day and myself along with tron of http://www.whatsthet.com/  Drama Dupree of http://www.dramadupree.com/ Rod of Rod 2.0 http://www.rodonline.typepad.com/ Darian Aaron of http://www.loldarian.com/ Dj Baker of the Da Doo Dirty Show http://www.dadoo-dirtyshow.com/ who have been very vocal and have not minced words at all when it came to how they felt so kudos to those bloggers and all who have voiced their opinions on the matter.

At the end of the day it will be the courts who will have the finally judgement on Bishop Long and even though this may have been consenting adults since GA Law states that consexual sex starts at 16 he is still in the wrong for being a head spiritual leader and taking advantage of these young men.

Below is audio of Darian Aaron interview with Dj Baker Show yesterday courtsey of http://www.whatsthet.com/




Also below are the photos of Bishop Long that he sent to these young men

Third Lawsuit against bishop Long comes out from 23 year old Jamal Parris

"Jamal Parris, 23, alleged in a suit filed today that Bishop Eddie Long used his private plane to fly him around the world -- from Los Angeles to Trinidad to New York -- and sexually abused him along the way. Parris alleges in the documents, obtained by ABC News, that the bishop would request he be nude while in his presence and would request "sexual massages" and "oral sodomy" when they traveled.

Parris joins two other young men, Maurice Robinson and Anthony Flagg, who also say the bishop recruited them into the youth ministry and then forced sex upon them. "

One of those photos viewed by ABC News depicts Long posing in what appears to be a bathroom stall in a red muscle shirt. The photo was sent via e-mail in November 2008 and is signed, "Eddie L Long, Amazed by His Grace."

Long, who once marched the streets of Atlanta to protest same-sex marriage, is considered a major figure in the black church. His New Birth Missionary Baptist Church has approximately 25,000 members, and sits on 240 acres in Lithonia, Ga.


According to separate lawsuits filed in DeKalb County, Ga., by Robinson, Flagg and now Parris, Long conducted what they called private spiritual ceremonies in which he "coerced certain young male members and employees" into sexual acts and relationships.

Now in their 20s, the men claim in their lawsuits that they were teenagers when Long showered them with "cars, clothes, jewelry and electronics," flew them across the world in private jets and booked them into luxury hotels, all the while pushing them into a sexual relationship.

"The allegations are that sexual things started to happen at 17 and 18 years old," Bernstein said.

Even though 17 is above the age of consent in Georgia, Robinson and Flagg claim that the bishop violated his "fiduciary duty as [their] spiritual advisor."

Long's attorney, Craig Gillen, countered the men's claims, writing in a statement that "Bishop Eddie Long adamantly denies the allegations.


Atlanta-area radio host Frank Ski, a 12-year-member of Long's church, told the Atlanta Constitution-Journal that he had "extreme support" for the man he's known for more than a decade.

"It's difficult for me because Bishop Long and I are very close," he told the paper. "I'm one of these people who's really old school. When you're a friend and I support you, I support you. Right now it's allegations."

Also Below is one of my favorite tv personalities Rick Sanchez of CNN who broke the story. If you have followed his career like i have from when he was first in Miami with WSVN a Fox affilate then you know that Rick is the business.

Bishop Eddie Long Sued 4 Coerceing 2 Young Males 4 Sex

A new lawsuit says the megachurch pastor was using his position at the pulpit to talk men out of their pants. Two Georgia men have filed suit claiming that prominent Atlanta pastor Eddie Long coerced them into sex.

The suits, filed Tuesday in DeKalb County, Georgia, allege that Long used his position as a spiritual authority and bishop to coerce young male members and employees of his New Birth Missionary Baptist Church into sex.

“Defendant Long has a pattern and practice of singling out a select group of young male church members and using his authority as Bishop over them to ultimately bring them to a point of engaging in a sexual relationship,” the suits allege.

The pastor took one plaintiff, Anthony Flagg, 21, on overnight trips to a half-dozen American cities in recent years, Flagg’s suit alleges.

“Long shared a bedroom and engaged in intimate sexual contact with plaintiff Flagg including kissing, massaging, masturbating of plaintiff Flagg by defendant Long and oral sexual contact,” the suit says.

Long took the other plaintiff, Maurice Murray Robinson, 20, to Auckland, New Zealand, in October 2008 for his 19th birthday and engaged in oral sex with him, Robinson’s suit alleges.

“Following the New Zealand Trip, Defendant Long regularly engaged in sexual touching, and other sexual acts with Plaintiff Robinson,” Robinson’s suit alleges.

Both plaintiffs said the pastor, his church and church employees gave them cash and lavish gifts that ranged from cars to college tuition.

The suits also said that Long framed the sexual relationships as religious in nature.

“Defendant Long would use Holy Scripture to discuss and justify the intimate relationship between himself and Plaintiff Robinson,” Robinson’s suit alleges.

You gotta love Oprah and thanks to Blogger and Friend Darian Aaron for posting this on this site because we all need to see this. Oprak kudos for goin back to Williamson, West Virginia and covering HIV and especially having an openly gay black male who is HIV positive talk about the diease.

In 1987, AIDS patient Mike Sisco jumped into a pool and his town erupted. Twenty-three years later, Oprah goes back to Williamson, West Virginia to see if things have changed in the 23 years and thats when Oprah interviewed Eugene Thorn in the video clip above.

Love Oprah or Hate her Oprah always knows how to get people talkin and hopefully with this show this will get people talking bout HIV/AIDS in the Black community in small towns and big towns.
