TD Jakes blames medical emergency on alleged stress from Diddy accusers’ lawyer
Bishop TD Jakes experienced a medical emergency during a sermon over the weekend, but is now in stable condition according to a statement from the church.
“During today’s service, Bishop T.D. Jakes experienced a slight health incident and received immediate medical attention following his powerful hour-long message,” the statement read. “Bishop Jakes is stable and under the care of medical professionals. the entire Potter’s House family is grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support from the community. Thank you for your understanding and continued prayers.”
Allegations made by fellow pastor Duane Youngblood have been linked to the stress that may have caused the incident.
Youngblood, who is being represented by attorney Tyrone Blackburn, has accused Jakes of attempting to sexually abuse him when he was 18 or 19. Blackburn also represents Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who previously sued Diddy for alleged sex trafficking earlier this year.
Jakes denies these allegations and has since fired back with a lawsuit accusing Youngblood of defamation. “These accusations are patently false,” it alleges. “Bishop Jakes never kissed or tried to kiss Youngblood, never cornered him or forced him into any situation (sexual or otherwise), and certainly never told him that he wanted to sleep with him or had any conversation of a sexual nature at all with him. The interactions described by Youngblood during his LRL interviews on October 28 and November 3 never happened—period.”
“This lawsuit is intended to bring that scheme to a halt,” it also alleges. “To end the extreme emotional, physical, and spiritual toll Defendants’ conduct has caused Bishop Jakes, to set the record straight so the world understands the patent falsity of the accusations, and to restore Bishop Jakes’s reputation.”
