Vanessa Long Makes A Wise Decision to Finally Divorce Bishop Eddie Long

 

Vanessa Long, the wife of Bishop Eddie Long has filed for divorce this morning on Friday 2, 2011.   We learned from Atlanta Journal Constitution.  This sudden news has hit the media and there is no further information until we receive more.


As you know, we thought is was really strange how Vanessa Long endured so much of this news, regarding Bishop Eddie Long's alleged affairs with young men, then teen boys, according to various sources.   We wondered how could any wife just continue to remain by a man's side, after he was accused by not just one, but five accusers.   We also felt there were many more, they just were afraid to come forward.   


Obviously, Vanessa Long is not a dumb woman.   She had just about enough of Bishop Eddie Long's sex scandals and no longer wants to be seen as a gullible wife who just sat by and did nothing while backing him up.  She now is stepping up as a courageous woman and filing for a divorce.   Vanessa Long took a lot for Bishop Eddie Long and often times would even attend services as though she trusted and believed in her husband, but there has been too much pain to bear and we are very sure God understands.   Many times as first ladies, women have been made to be quiet and say nothing about what is going on among the clergy behind the pulpit, but God says no more.  Just because women are blessed to be first ladies, they do not have to be cursed to be dummies.
