(AJC) — Mega-church leader Bishop Eddie Long has canceled a previously announced appearance on the Tom Joyner Morning Show Thursday after a third man filed a lawsuit accusing the prominent minister of using his pastoral influence to coerce him into a sexual relationship.
In addition, Long’s attorneys canceled plans for a press conference to address the growing scandal.
The syndicated radio show, heard locally on Kiss 104.1, had issued a press release saying he would discuss the allegations. However, the show’s Roland Martin, who was scheduled to interview Long at 7:15 a.m., said on his Twitter account early Thursday that “the lawyers have made the decision that due to the third lawsuit that Bishop not to do interviews tomorrow.”
