You all remember back in August when we reported about Bishop Eddie Long and his massive weight loss. Long claims that his body change was not because of an illness, but because of a healthier lifestyle. Mainly he cut out Popeye’s chicken and biscuits.
Welp! I dont think that’s gonna fly anymore after seeing photos of him over the holidays. Some people are claiming that the fallen Pastor has stomach cancer, and others are saying its just karma.
“Something is seriously wrong with Atlanta Bishop Eddie Long—at least, that’s what some people on Twitter wrote after pictures of Long looking emaciated resurfaced Wednesday. Rumors about his health have circled for weeks, with one accusation claiming he was in hospice.
Long, who leads New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, Georgia, admitted to a “health challenge,” but didn’t name the apparent illness. Long apparently attributes his drastic weight loss to a vegan diet.
“No, not ever in hospice! Currently, not accepting calls but thanks for verifying the rumor,” his assistant, Elder April, McLaughlin told the Christian Post in early December. She added Long was “doing well.”
Still, rumors about Long’s health persisted. The gossip went viral when news site Bossip posted memes about the bishop Wednesday. There are some rumors that he has AIDS or HIV, though none of those appear to be legitimate.
The preacher was accused of coercing four young men into sexual relations in 2011. During a stint on the “Steve Harvey” show the same year, he would not answer if he abused the teenage boys.”
This man is obviously sick, but we just don’t know which illness is ravishing his body. What do you guys think?
Omg, this can’t be Bishop Eddie Long. He looks totally different. Either he’s sick or this isn’t him. This doesn’t look like a result of a good diet.
