Some readers, including “NotYourTypicalNegro” have been nice enough to conduct some pass-bys of the house…no sign of Vanessa whatsoever. Numerous sites around the web have linked to Mo’Kelly’s story. Can ya hear Mo’Kelly now?! Mo’Kelly does his homework.
Thank you and goodnight.
UPDATE: 6.10.11
– Some readers have emailed saying “I’m a member, this is old news, she left weeks ago.” Others have emailed saying “this is just church gossip.” A third group says “Who do you think you are, why would they/New Birth respond to you?”
1. For those who say “this is old news”…
The Mo’Kelly Report prides itself on vetting sources and information BEFORE posting. If you are unfamiliar with my work on exposing malfeasance in the AME Church or Zeta Phi Beta and Alpha Kappa Alpha sororities, Mo’Kelly is clear about having documentation or high confidence in a source before running with any information.
In other words…this is what Mo’Kelly does and it’s not his first church scandal or malfeasance rodeo. If you read ANYWHERE the story on AKA, know that Mo’Kelly broke that story and pushed it into the mainstream press.
If you say “this is old news”…good. Because Mo’Kelly was using that time to verify the information, not just post it. It’s about being RIGHT/ACCURATE, not necessarily being first to publish. Sometimes they happen at the same time and that’s the best case scenario.
Mo’Kelly will tell you this…this report comes from talking to both PRESENT members and CURRENT EMPLOYEES of New Birth. Current employees have been barred from speaking about these issues, so no, Mo’Kelly is not going to divulge specifics beyond that and get (multiple) people fired.
Yes, my sources will remain protected. It’s about them, not you.
Also, in journalism it is customary to give the opposition fair opportunity to respond, comment or rebut. New Birth was given that. So if it’s “old news” to some of you…that’s why.
There’s no documentation of someone moving out and short of video of the actual moment there won’t ever be. There’s no paperwork of a wife leaving the house and going to live with a relative or friend. It does not exist. At the same time, enough independent and connected sources have corroborated Vanessa Long leaving Eddie…at least for the interim. Whether she moves back home…who knows. But at the time of posting, she was out.
2. “This is just church gossip.”
See #1…New Birth has been given the opportunity to prove otherwise and despite the THOUSANDS of visits to this site and HUNDREDS of emails, NOT ONE communication has contended that the post was incorrect.
Not one…
3. “Who do you think you are…why would they/New Birth would respond to you?”
Who Mo’Kelly “thinks” he is, is subjective and neither here nor there. But here is some objective reality. Each day New Birth fails to respond means more and more sources run with this story. Google doesn’t lie in that regard. It has become bigger than just one report on one blog. Any PR legitimate person knows that control of the narrative is paramount. Staying mum is the worst thing Art Franklin/New Birth can do right now…but such is his/their choice.
In addition to that…Mo’Kelly has been known to do a little radio and TV. Has multiple columns and a teeny bit of influence beyond this site. A teeny bit. Not a boast, just an answer to some questions posed. See right-hand panel.
Hope that clarifies…

UPDATE: 6.9.11
– Still no response from New Birth. Mo’Kelly contacted New Birth’s PR person Art Franklin as to these allegations Wednesday afternoon. There has been neither a detailed response nor a terse denial. Just FYI, Mo’Kelly’s spies are WELL-EMBEDDED in New Birth and Mo’Kelly vetted the information before running with it.
We will see if New Birth will say anything at all. Again, they’ve been offered a forum to refute or deny this story.
Well-placed spies for The Mo’Kelly Report and long-time members of New Birth are alleging that Vanessa Long, the First Lady of New Birth has moved out of the house, in fact taking one of the children with her due to the scandal.
These are WELL-placed and trustworthy sources.
Mo’Kelly has already reached out to New Birth to see if it has any official response or counter narrative. Don’t hold your breath if you expect New Birth to tell the truth and acknowledge any family disarray. Nevertheless, New Birth has been offered equal space here in The Mo’Kelly Report as Mo’Kelly always does.
One is always welcome to tell his/her side here…you just have to be willing to step up to the plate.

Some of the children look like they are college age. Maybe they were going to college or to visit a college????
And newsflash..colleges are out. Have been for weeks. Not only that…being college age doesn’t mean you don’t still live at home.
And maybe Eddie has five rocks in his pocket…
LOL! Colleges and universities have new student orientation and summer school sessions. I don’t know if its true or not. Or, if the children live at home or not. Seriously, do you really think his wife did not know something in the milk wasn’t clean some years ago in their marriage???? Don’t you think this issue has surfaced in their marriage long before the scandal?? Don’t you think she already knew he had this type of problem and chose to look the other way? ? If she left, I don’t think it would have been on the account of the scandal, but maybe she grew weary of the pretense of their marriage. I believe you and I both know that many women stay in these type of marriages for the lifestyle and the status it brings. I’m not a Long supporter, not a member of the church, but I just don’t believe Vanessa Long a stupid woman or has been oblivious all of these years that she has been married to a DL brother and is now going to leave because of the scandal.
First…they were married in 1990…3 of the 4 children were born after this time. (The first child born to his first wife). So the eldest child from this marriage is 21 at most. And that’s assuming she was far along and pregnant the day they were married.
Whether she “knew” all along is neither here nor there. My sources…affiliated with New Birth said moved out…not on vacation. It is what it is. 15 to 25 million and public ridicule changes a lot of things for people in marriages. Damning evidence tends to do that.
But…not my job for me to speculate. I chase down leads and sources. New Birth has been contacted directly with this information. No response or rebuttal. Oh well.
Dear “Court Jester” or whatever your name was (note past tense.) Your comment was deleted in violation of the MKR penal code. It is available for you and everyone to read. I suggest you do.
Why should we be surprised? How much can a person take? The scandal; the money; the settlement; the news and internet; the lies; the betrayal; church attendance dropping; she is only human. She needs to get away FAST before her life crumbles. It’s just tooo much for ANY woman to bear. My prayers are with her for real. And sadly, I think the WORST is yet to come! (Ican’t wait till she writes a TELL IT ALL book!)
SO WHAT????????? NEXT! Imma need you to find somebody else business to get into and confirm their not perfect. Because this story is sooooo TIRED!
4 lawsuits…estimated 25 million dollar settlement. Um…that’s worthy of reporting on for quite some time. Unprecedented in history. This is bigger than a “gossip” issue. There are ecumenical, social and ministerial misconduct issues. So if none of that “interests” you probably won’t like The Mo’Kelly Report. Not only that but it is odd to say this is “tired” but here you are both reading and commenting.
Hey, Mo’Kelly I rode by there last night and looked like she wasn’t there. LOL!

@ Samantha,
The youngest is still in high school, so it would be safe to assume that is the child that Vanessa Long took with her. I am not sure of the ages of the others.
[…] MoKelly is reporting that Eddie Long’s wife has moved out of their home. If true, I am not surprised and I totally understand what that woman has gone through. In the past, he did not have his family’s picture on the website. It was all about Eddie and his pictures. Now all of a sudden there is a family picture up there. GO HERE […]
why the surprise? u married to a man on the DL..he might have hiv and u had unprotected sex with him cause u didnt know..he had to pay lots of money to stay out court and jail..what r u now the first lady of..the sight of him disgust u..yep i’d say it’s bout time to tell him my people will contact yo people..plus a few other choice words…
This whole story is a sad and sorry tale of what a web of lies we weave, when we practice to deceive. “Thou shat not bear false witness,” ought to be considered the Bible’s most important comment on human sexuality.
[…] can see Mo’Kelly ears point straight up, ready to pounce on this […]
