Church News: The Bishop, The Blogger and The Community’s Response.
By Candace L. Smith
In the next two seasons of Unfiltered we will discuss the church and community. I may end up references some of these viral moments in the black community regarding clergy. In this video I share my thoughts about the Bishop that was robbed at gunpoint during his church service. He went viral because the robbery happened on live stream and at the time the Bishop was wearing over 400,000 worth of jewels.
The community began to speculate if the robbery was real pointing out various things they felt like didn’t make sense such as the camera movement, the words the Bishop was speaking at the beginning of his sermon right before the robbery, the way the young man casually sat in the corner and didn’t get down and the amount of jewelry the Bishop was wearing.
The Bishop ended up going on the news and the community picked apart his interviews and commentators and bloggers online began to further speculate if the robbery was real and digging into the Bishops past and background. They discovered he had a record and bloggers began to spill tea about the Bishops scandals. One blogger and commentator Larry Reid Live who is known for discussing Black preachers and clergy has gone viral several times for his interviews with black gospel legends and scandals and controversies.
He hopped online and went live from his Instagram inviting a female pastor to join him in discussing the “robbery”. It was clear they did not believe in the robbery so they began to discuss the entire robbery questioning the decor of the church and everything that was public information. During the live the Bishop requested to join and began to say how upset he was that Larry discussing the robbery. They have a past and people in common and have met and the Bishop felt personally attacked by the comments.
Larry made light of the comments he was making and declared that he was helping the Bishop and the conversation went left. The Bishop started saying very inappropriate things towards Larry and the woman. Since that conversation the Bishop continues to have interviews and go live. Larry continues to expose the Bishop for owing other parishioners money and uncovering fraud and theft and reading public records online.
It’s a holy hot mess and here’s my thoughts. 💁🏽♀️
