Eddie Long’s accusers renege on their structured settlements
Remember we told you that Bishop Eddie Long’s accusers agreed to a structured settlement worth around $2 million each, to be paid in installments every year over the next 20 years? Well, two of Long’s accusers have now decided the cash annuities are not sufficient for their needs.
In other words, the men have burned through their cash annuity for this year. And rather than wait until 2012 for their next cash payout, they want it all right now.
The lack of funds even forced one of Long’s accusers into a life of crime to support his lifestyle.
In June, Jamal Parris, 24, was arrested by Miami Dade police during a traffic stop. Police searched Parris’ car and found 181 grams of marijuana, plastic baggies and a semiautomatic handgun. He was charged with possession of drugs with intent to distribute.
Incredibly, Parris blamed his drug arrest on “childhood sexual abuse” suffered at the hands of Eddie Long!
Now Parris and another accuser, Spencer Legrande, are speaking out about their experiences with Long — despite signing confidentiality agreements when they accepted their settlements.
Against their attorney’s advice, Jamal and Spencer spoke with WSB-TV here in Atlanta, which aired a clip of the interview last night.
Both men say they never sued for money, even though the money (or the lack of it) seems to be the motivating factor for the interview.
They say they are writing a book – and are willing to give back the cash settlement– so they can get the story out. No doubt they’re hoping a book publisher will advance them a large lump sum of cash for that book.
What do you think about these publicity hungry, money grubbing losers?

They probably have the advances from a large publishing company, who is giving up-front money, not an annuity payout. Please believe there are a lot of people who will buy this book!
They need to take that money and go get counseling. Instead of facing a lawsuit, jail time and bankruptcy. I understand money can’t fix the problem but they NEVER should have signed off on it if they wanted to talk. A book deal would have been better than a lawsuit.
They should be careful, wouldn’t want them to come up “missing” accidentally on purpose.
I heard Bishop “It Wasn’t Me” Eddie has some powerful contacts
@ Crickett
Agreed!
Broke
azzes
2 million over 20 years?! My math funny, but that don’t seem like enough to pay rent with after the lie-awyers cut.
Also, if they signed a confidentiality agreement, they should have kept their mouths shut. They can be sued themselves. I woulda wrote that book with a ghostwriter, kind of like “If I Did It”.
Sh*t is about to hit the FAN!!
Aunty, why did you tweet Gabrielle and asked did she know that Wade was cheating on her with Lauren London? Do you care to share??
Awwww Shyt!
I say more power to them
I do hope they get counseling if they haven’t done so already cause I feel they are still hurting and haven’t healed completly. God Bless them
“I’mma tell ya’ll exactly what ya’ll wanna know”
How about I’mma tell ya’ll the TRUTH!!
Whats wrong with Jamal Parris head, he funny looking
Oh chit
@lovezoe
2milli divided by 20 years…$100,000 a year?
after lawyers cut? less than that
maybe only 60 or 70 a year
and they ain’t tryin to get a job either probably.
Not surprised they are broke.
My mom recently sued someone’s insurance company, the lawyers get 35%. I can’t imagine what their lawyers cut was. $60,000 is okay if you have no one to feed. They probably spent that in a weekend.
The lil ugly one brought him a Benz with no tag on it riding round splurgin and got pulled over.
I read about this earlier today….should be interesting. I wonder what Eddie Long is thinking right about now….
@bnatural..im pretty sure E. Long is about to off one of them
I thought I heard that Jamal was going to college??!!… sooo, getting a job isnt an option?
I hope our East Coast fam is making preparations for Irene and will be ok.

I’m at work right now….they are briefing us on the weather BUT I’m not 100% convinced that it’s going to be bad for us. Oh and I’m in Virginia Beach.
@ datsmdubya2u:
No, the lawyers got their cut already. Those boys heard $100,000 a year for 20 years and they got real happy — until they actually started spending it
@dats, I am in Hampton Roads, a friend and I are thinking about going to Richmond tomorrow. Hubby’s ship has to stay out in the water, don’t want to weather this alone.
Jamal better get a car title loan on that BMW.
They have all that stupid stuff here in texas that the ignorant use to make it from check to check.
“GET CHO TITTLE BACK WITH TITTLEMAX!”
A fool and his money…soon parted
@ lovezoe:
The lawyers were paid a lump sum and the accusers got around $2 mil each after that.
@bnatural, after that earthquake, I am expecting the unexpected. The spaghetti models are more inland now. Watching WTKR right now.
They have reneged. They shouldn’t get a dime and should repay what money they have received. Even book advances don’t pay like they used to. If $100,000 over 20 years wasn’t going to cut it, the book advance won’t either.

I feel like North Carolina will get it worse than our region. I’m still going to take the necessary precautions though, I’m not fool.
@Sandra, oh. Well then, no reason to be broke. $100K and you single?! I am married and that would do be just fine with 2.5 kids. Pay off Sallie May, car, savings, still got about 75K left over. The only way I quit my job is if I hit the mega millions for over 200 milly

@bnatural, I stay in Great Bridge, about 15 minutes from the NC line, that’s what scares me a little.
Since they signed a confidentiality agreement and they’re talking, I would assume that Longstroke doesn’t have to continue paying them no? Any lawyers in here?
Def will
for all those in the path of Irene
@ Sandra
I ain’t gonna lie…coming from a poor back ground when I was 19 or 20 I though 30 thou a year was the ish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In a way it’s kinda sad nobody was looking out for them. But then again if they had adequate supervision and somebody looking out for them Eddie could not have got a hold of them in the first place.
When I was little my grandmother wouldn’t let me or my brother go to any over night trips/events with our church. one summer the youth group went camping for a week and my brother wanted to go real bad.
because she didn’t trust some of the adults that was going, he blamed me for being a girl. She set him straight she told him “i’m more worried about somebody diddlin with you than your sista. They after lil boys worse than the girls.” We thought she was old and crazy…How young wrong and dumb we were. Thank god we had her looking out for us.
When grandma told him
I’m sorry but any idiot who was looking to heal from the situation and move on with their lives would have pursued a normal career while investing that $100K annuity. I personally would have placed that in an IRA and had it ready for me to nicely settle down with whenever retirement came along. These fools want fame and notoriety. I’m not saying that Eddie Long is right, but these boys will not have a happy ending by carrying on juicy gossip and selling their stories
soulsto the public for attention…I hope they really know what they are doing…Have a good night everybody…
@JMO….She ignored it
Aunty, is kind of going IN on twitter today!…#messy
The tweet about Robin Roberts?! #WOOOW

I’m literally 5-7 miles form the oceanfront…I should be a lot more worried but I’m not. I don’t know what it is….they hyped up these storms before and they ended up fizzling.
I’ll see what it’s looking like tomorrow evening. I will be heading out to the stores this evening though!!!!
shame on it! *scampers away to prepare for Irenes crazy ass*

They showed a Harris Teeter in Norfolk, she was empty! I feel if I don’t leave I am good. I stay on the second floor of my apartment, it is a fairly new building, brick, AND I have renter’s insurance. Anything happens good ole USAA will take care of me properly.
@lovezoe
AND I have renter’s insurance. Anything happens good ole USAA will take care of me properly.

I’m more concerned for you than your stuff…if they say leave then leave
K?
Of course, I will be out of here with the quickness. I am from Franklin, so I may go stay with my mom. Hopefully my friend and I can make it to Richmond. Nothing in this place is as important as my kids and I.
@ Lovezoe
I know you will do the right thing
I worry excessively don’t pay me no mind
i wonder if either men have pursued gay relationships post eddie slong??

#teamlongaccusers
100k fr 20yrs…
thats 8k a month….for 20years…(not including work income)
oh i could do so much….yep yep…
if they are broke ..then they deserve to be…
so tired of these idiots. please sit down. no one cares that you took thick d y ck up your butt, and graciously cleansed your skin with his protein i.e. d y ck shake. or you drank it, either way, SIT DOWN.
When you are young and stupid, you run thru money like its water. My Mom died when I was 20. My five siblings and I split $150 of what was left of her insurance money (after paying off the house, her bills, funeral services, etc.) and we received about $30K each. Let me just say I spent $30K in about two months…on straight BS! I was flying first class from ATL to Miami with my daughters, balling. My kids had clothes galore. I bought $200 shoes & purses like it wasn’t anything…back then (1995). I was stupid as f-ck! I didn’t even pay off my car like my siblings were encouraging me too. Fast forward 16 years and that is one of the biggest regrets of my life.
Those young men are balling out of control with their money…believe that!
ahahahaha @ mdub
if you have longterm payments, but you need.. cash now! 877 cash now!
I thought one of them said in the interview I read that they could burn the money it wasn’t about that but either way I aint mad at them. I would get ALL the money I could too
@Kingstonn
@59, wow, you live and you learn. A friend of mine got a lump sum close to what your portion was after her dad passed away last year. She has yet to spend one dime. She’s in her mid 40′s. I wish you could turn back the hands of time. That amount of money changes lives. No, one can’t retire of it, but you can pay off hella bills, buy a car with no car note, etc.
anybody watch A-List NY on logo channel? OMG why is Rodney shooting pics for his calendar and talking about str8 girls are going to love it. Um, Rodney, you look gay as phuck in the black panty like speedos, spiked collar, and lube. I CAN’T.
They azzes gonna get sued and not be able to retain counsel!

These are some silly lil boys…..I would watch my back if I were them before one of those Eddie Long members kill them in Jesus’ name of course….. cause you talking about their “Daddy”. The one that bought the white BMW with dealer tags flossing in Miami walking around like he is some kind of rapper. WSB-TV made sure to focus on his bling during the interview. Why when black people get $2 they start spending like they are rich? Buying cars…..really? Will somebody tell these fools to go buy some of this cheap land up for sale and get somewhere and sit down. FYI…. True rich don’t spend their money on things everyone can see. (Word to the wise)
i’m buying the book and bootleg movie….
these boys are still young. that’s how they got hooked…because young boys like money and bling. now that the dust has settled, some publisher’s lawyer has called and explained how (legally) they can REALLY get paid. of course, they forfeit the settlement money but that’s nothing compared to future royalties.
personally, i want to hear this story. other young boys and girls in the church need to hear this story as well.
