The View’s Sherri Shepherd Says A Mouthful on Bishop Long Settlement

 

We found this video of comedienne and host Sherri Shepherd of “The View” show and found it interesting how she gives a literal mouthful on her thoughts of Bishop Eddie Long and the recent private and sealed settlement that was resolved in mediation.

The first 2 minutes shows how she goes in on Bishop Long. We are not fans of Sherri Shepherd but she said some things we all may have wanted to say.  Actually, we have probably said all this and some here at AT2W! LOL!

Bishop Eddie Long To Face The Court- Judge To Set Trial for Summer

Can everyone in the church say, “Amen?” This is what many will be saying once they hear that Bishop Long may not be able to just “pay” off the victims in the sexual misconduct case of four young men.

Mediation sessions are at a halt and  State Court Judge Johnny Panos has now told AJC.com that he is planning to set the case for a trial possibly in the summer or early fall. Panos told news reporters in Atlanta that he saw a close agreement to a settlement in the case just two weeks ago but now things are apparently rocky and he wants it to go to trial.
