Less than a day after Vanessa Long filed for divorce from Bishop Eddie Long, she’s changed her mind.
Path MEGAzine received a statement from Vanessa Long that states:
“Upon prayerful reflection, I have reconsidered and plan to withdraw my petition for divorce from my husband, Bishop Eddie L. Long. I love my husband. I believe in my him and admire his strength, and courage.
My filing followed years of attacks in the media that frustrated and overwhelmed me. I love my family and church family, New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. Therefore, my husband and I have mutually agreed to find healing from these attacks.”
Vanessa Long filed the divorce papers at a DeKalb County courthouse late on Thursday.
In the video below My Fox Atlanta reports that Bishop Eddie Long and his wife were up throughout the night trying to mend their marriage. Eddie and Vanessa Long have been married for 21 years and have three children.
Bishop Long is the pastor at Lithonia’s New Birth Missionary Baptist Church and recently settled lawsuits involving allegations of sexual misconduct involving young men in his congregation.
A couple of months ago, Bishop Long announced that he is seeking the settlement money back from 3 of the 4 accusers after public statements were made breaking confidentiality terms of the agreement.
