This week, Bishop Eddie Long was interviewed on the “Steve Harvey Show,” and while he was open to talking about such deep personal subjects as his struggles with suicidal thoughts, he refused to answer questions about the allegations of sexual abuse that have plagued him and his ministry.
Harvey asked Long about the allegations brought against him in 2010 by Anthony Flagg, Spencer LeGrande, Jamal Parris and Maurice Robinson. The four men said that he coerced them into sexual relations by leveraging his influence and also showering them with gifts.
