Bishop Eddie Long weight loss shocked people in the social media. After months of recovering from an undisclosed illness, the Atlanta mega church pastor returned to the pulpit still looking sickly thin.
Back in September, he admitted that he was dealing with a "health challenge." He did not discuss further what exactly his illness was. But, whatever his illness was, it made him virtually unrecognizable.
He claims that God has healed him. His sickly thin look left some of social media wondering if the Bishop was battling HIV or Aids.
Bishop Eddie Long weight loss was first noticed months ago, which prompted him to reveal the health challenge. He also said that his weight loss had nothing to do with his new vegan diet.
People got more curious about the Pastor's health. Questions about his health were persistent until early December. There were even rumors that he has been admitted to hospice care. However, according to his assistant Elder April McLaughlin, he was "doing well."
She also added that the Pastor is not in hospice care. The pastor is not accepting calls.
In 2011, four men accused Long of coercing them into sexual relationships while they were teenagers. The lawsuit was settled in court. Long's pleas and details of the settlement were not disclosed.
Some have noted if his illness is karma for his alleged sexual misconduct towards young men.
The age of consent in Georgia was 16, and all four boys were 17 or older at the time they claim the sexual misconduct occurred. It means the police could not press charges against Long.
According to the Gossip On This, people used Twitter to share their thoughts about his new look. Some stated that, from looking like a WWE champion to looking like the General Manager.
According to the International Business Times, when Long was accused of sexual misconduct, it made him contemplate suicide.
Bishop Eddie Long weight loss is a shock to the social media. However, many people have lost their sympathy towards him after the sexual abuse allegations.
