Don Lemon

Will Don Lemon's confession help those victims of Bishop Eddie Long?

Today, popular CNN anchor Don Lemon, came out and admitted that he was a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of a pedophile when he was younger.

Lemon admitted to the events while the Bishop Eddie Long scandal is going on. Bishop Eddie Long is accused by 4 young men of making them take part in sexual acts with him, while he gave them lavish gifts, and flew them around the world. There is yet to be any proof of this, but lawsuits have been filed.

Don Lemon had this to say today:
“I have never admitted this on TV. I’m a victim of a pedophile when I was a kid. Someone who was much older than me.”

It should be interesting to see if this courageous act by Lemon, helps convince others that may have been a victim of sexual abuse, by the hands of Bishop Eddie Long, come forward. Of course, we don’t know if Long even committed these horrible crimes.

Long, yesterday gave a sermon at the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta, to a congregation of over 8,000. His wife, Vanessa and other friends were on hand for support.

    It really saddens me to hear this about sexual child abuse. Even though the young men were 14-16 yrs. of age when this happened they are considered children, no matter what age the Ga Law says is legal. It really makes me sick to my stomach that a this happened to a mother/father’s children. I heard his speech that he gave to the media/congregation, he perceived to be arrogant and not once did he mention prayer. None of us are perfect but this has been going on for years that is why the first wife left. The new Mrs. Long knows as well. Dick Tracy Long should have gotten psychiatric help and after the young boys were molested he told them to call him “Daddy”. Texting those nasty photos to those boys, he is old enought to be their granddaddy.

    Dick Tracy Long need to step down and receive psychiatric help. He knew what he did was wrong because this have been going on for yrs. His first wife knew it and his second wife knows it. Some of the people in his congregation knows it, but instead they applaud this person. I wonder how long he thought this child molestation would continue? It makes me sick, I hope these boys have strong parents that will help put this man away from society. He was so arrogant when he gave his speach to he media/congregation, throwing down the mic onto the desk. He did not mention once the word “prayer” or “I did not do it”, only “I’m not perfect” who is perfect but that does not excuse him from being a child/teen molester. Why was he sending the boys text messaging of himself, why did he purchase 2 of them houses from the churches money, and why was he paying their utility bills and traveling with him? Plzzzzzz tell me why? Just the sight of him makes me sick!, Dick Tracy Long, I hope that attorney pull all of his paper trails leading to Long’s arrest. Dr. Bernice King would be an excellent minister to minister New Birth. I hope that she consideres it. Dr. Bernice King can do it.

    @reubenshowIn the title of the book you are pimping on what looks like the Bishop’s demise you use the word “Homos”. This is a derogatory word used for homosexuals, kind of like “Nigger” is for black people. Personally I don’t think you or anyone else who uses these kinds of derogatory terms has any place in the dialog of this scandal.

    I think the author is just trying to use the most deragatory words that he can use to brand these criminals, and was not meant as an insult to all people who like to have sex with the same gender. I think using ‘politically correct’ words ares getting too out of hand, just like saying, “I am a Mexican-American”. No dear, you are an AMERICAN, plain and simple.

    Thank you Mr. Lemon for your courage in revealing what you endured as a child. I am currently going through a severe bout of PTSD due to flashbacks from paternal molestation as a child, and your honesty and bravery help me feel that I’m on the right path and there is light and understanding at the end of the tunnel. To me the biggest crime is the denial of how many men all across the country have silently endured this brutal form of abuse and humiliation. At least women are allowed to talk about it. Men aren’t, and that is why it is so prevalent.
    When America is finally willing to face the fact that we are a nation of child abusers, we will once again be great. Until then, people like you make our inner demons manageable, because we feel there is an effort to shed light on all this pain and shame and transform it into power and understanding.
