Last year Bishop TD Jakes filed a defamation of character lawsuit against former youth pastors Duane Youngblood and his brother Richard Edwin Youngblood after they accused him of trying to sixually assault them over four decades ago [click here if you missed that].
Bishop Jakes brands the brothers opportunists in an interview on the Today Show...
Bishop Jakes tells Craig Melvin,
"We are living in a time of misinformation and disinformation that's hard to live with... Some people don't see you as a person they see you as an opportunity..."
"We're living in a time right now of people being misaligned and seldom challenged... so I filed the suit because it you don't ever speak back it just continues to go on and on and I decided enough is enough."
Jakes also admitted he wasn't sure if the brothers would be the last accusers to come forward and announced he would be launching a podcast where he can really elaborate on what happened.
