According to source, Vanessa released a statement saying, "After a great deal of deliberation and prayer, I have decided to terminate my marriage to Bishop Eddie L. Long. Accordingly, I authorized my attorneys to file for divorce on December 1, 2011."
Her statement continued, "It is my sincere hope that this matter can be resolved expeditiously, harmoniously and fairly. I ask that you respect my privacy and that of my family, as my attorneys and I have agreed that we will not try this case in the media, and I do not intend to make any further statements concerning this matter."
Today's news may not come as a shock to many. For months now, Bishop Long has been battling these accusations. He eventually settled with his four accusers earlier this year for an undisclosed sum -- some claim it was as much as $15M.
Back in August, two of Bishop Long's accusers, Spencer LeGrande and Jamal Parris, came forward and announced they would be writing a tell-all book, sharing details of their encounters with the Bishop over the last 10 years.Bishop Long has yet to respond to the divorce filing.
