Bishop Long's Accusers to Tell All

Just when you thought the Bishop Eddie Long case was over and done with, there’s more dust to kick up. Two of the five accusers are planning to write a tell-all — sharing every painful detail of their encounters with the Bishop over the last 10 years.

This past May, Long settled the case with his accusers for an undisclosed amount, some claim it’s up to $15M. According to WSBTV in Atlanta, Spencer LeGrande and Jamal Parris are preparing to share it all. The two recently conducted an interview in Miami and leaked their future plans.

“You ain’t ready for the secrets,” said LeGrande. “I don’t care if this book sells one copy. But if it’s just for me, this is what my life looked like, this is my voice for the first.”

Paris says he still suffers the scars of abuse and thought he could escape the pain. Now he says he has a voice.

Long, however, may have the option to sue the men should they follow through with their book plans.

The men say Long never apologized.
