Wife of Bishop Eddie Long, the megachurch pastor accused of coercing four young men into sex, files for divorce... only to withdraw it ONE DAY later.
Just hours after announcing her decision to divorce her husband Bishop Eddie Long, who was accused of coercing four young men into sexual relationships, Vanessa Long changed her mind and withdrew the divorce.
'Upon prayerful reflection, I have reconsidered and plan to withdraw my petition for divorce from my husband, Bishop Eddie L. Long,' Vanessa told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in an emailed statement bearing the logo of her husband's church.
'I love my husband. I believe in him and admire his strength and courage,' she continued.
She was not as supportive just hours earlier, when she announced that she would be leaving her husband of 11 years.
'After a great deal of deliberation and prayer, I have decided to terminate my marriage to Bishop Eddie L. Long,' Vanessa Long said in a statement Friday morning.
In her afternoon statement, Vanessa cited 'years of attacks in the media' as the reason for her initial decision to seek a divorce.
Mr Long rose to fame when he took over the megachurch New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, Georgia.
