Thomas Weeks III has pleaded guilty to assault charges for whooping his wife’s tail in a hotel parking lot back in August:

Moments after admitting to grabbing his wife by the throat, throwing her down and kicking her on the pavement of a hotel parking lot, Thomas Weeks III turned to Juanita Bynum and apologized to her in open court. The couple then walked out of the Fulton County courthouse together and signaled that their relationship may not yet be over. Weeks pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in Fulton County Superior Court on Tuesday, and was sentenced to three years’ probation. Under the terms of the plea agreement, Weeks must also undergo violence and anger counseling and complete 200 hours of community service that cannot be church-related.

“They are in communication and working on their relationship and the status of their marriage.At the end of the hearing, Weeks turned to Bynum, who had been seated in the second row of the courtroom.”I want to apologize to my wife for all she’s had to go through,” he said. Bynum stood as he addressed her, nodded in response and quietly thanked him. As another condition of his probation, Weeks must have no violent contact with his wife, though the two were allowed to resume communications, which previously had been barred. Wasting no time, the couple appeared on the steps of the courthouse.

Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said during a brief press conference that it was a personal plea from Bynum initiated by Weeks’ grandfather that convinced prosecutors not to pursue jail time for Weeks.

“Many people in her situation would’ve been asking for him to be put in jail,” Howard said, calling Bynum’s request courageous. “I don’t believe my husband is a criminal,” she said. “I don’t believe he is a man who deserves to be put in jail.”According to a police report, Bynum told officers that on Aug. 22, Weeks “choked her, pushed her down, kicked and stomped her … until a bellman pulled him off of her.”

Weeks initially pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated assault and making terroristic threats.

That domestic violence is crazy and if it happens once, it will usually happen again. Hopefully, in this case it won’t but Bishop Weeks looks like he might still be ’bout it.

    After his talk about “i don’t how she got the mark on her neck”, to then go say he did it i guess the threat of jail can do that to you. Both these people had no class about this situation. She was busy talking about God while making and taking many interviews selling her story far and wide. Only God knows

  • da darkness

    gods people are getting arrested the world is coming to cameras everywhere

  • Ash

    wow!!! she is a truly strong woman but i just KNOW this guy is like the BIGGEST hypocrite the world has ever seen… i dont mean to down the guy but DAMN!!! with everybody talkin about the way the church is heading, this definitely doesn’t help..

  • ewww

    I don’t think that she made a good decision. He didn’t slap her (minor offense), but instead choked her, pushed her to the ground, and stomped her. Not to mention the fact that it was in public for the world to see. If she wants to do the Christian thing she should ask that his sentence be minimal, but not take him back!

  • Chris

    So here’s the deal, I used to work full time in event photography. I was apart of a 6 man crew responsible for shooting their wedding back on Holy Thursday 4 or 5 years ago on Wall Street here in NYC.

    Vera Wang personally made her dress, cake was 15 feet tall, It was at I believe the Regent Hotel if I am not mistaken in a ballroom with 800 people in it. Everything was just so ridiculously over the top and pretentious to say the least.

    The most interesting part of the wedding itself aside from airing with Wink Martindale as the host or whatever the guys name was from the Newlywed Game over the prayer network, not even the fact that Juanita herself was over 2 hours late getting ready but the fact she made it a point to show and tell everyone who would listen in the ballroom that every woman should have 2 diamond wedding rings, matching ones like hers, 14 carats she kept saying over and over, one for each hand to see how much your man loves you. I won’t lie and say they didn’t pay upfront and ontime, but it’s amazing to see how even the mighty have fallen, even those who exploit the name of Jesus Christ for their own personal gain. BTW I’m an Atheist.

  • pm

    I would have divorced her and took her for some of that church loot. She seems like she could be a hand full.

    Hopefully, in this case it won’t but Bishop Weeks looks like he might still be ’bout it.

    Hooray Bishop Weeks… I feel that everybody needs their ass kicked at least one time. Now if the sht is recurring and you ain’t wit it… then something needs to be done to stop it.

    Some women are instigators and want to fight just as much or even more than men do and know that have the law on their side and use it to their advantage.

  • LGD

    I heard him on a few interviews including Wendy Williams. I’m shocked that he plead guilty. Juanita isn’t perfect either. She did accuse her first husband of abuse and was in a mental institution. I’m thinking that she came to him about the junk he has on her. He was looking forward to the truth coming out in court. Just maybe she didn’t want the truth to come out on her. He was saying some stuff about her in those interviews. How she didn’t have a relationship with his daughter, drugs. The husband in him agreed not to expose her. I guess. Before I get cyber-jumped, domestic violence is wrong whether the victim is male or female.

  • lisalisa

    SHe is stupid to take him back!

  • Roe ski love

    When will Christians and non Christians alike, begin to realize how fake these TV preachers are. Send them your money so you can be blessed by God, and they can be blessed with a new Rolls Royce.

  • uptowngirl

    Put that where?..Back There!!! If that fool did that to her in public I could just imagine what goes down in private.

  • Submerge

    NOW THIS IS A DAMN PUBLICITY STUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Set up from the beginning. They will get back together, there relationship will be “stronger than ever” because they had lost their way before and they will sell this crap as their testimonial. Wait for the book….its coming. Not that I’m cynical or anything. :)

  • uptowngirl

    I heard him on Wendy too. All soft talking and ish. Saying the allegations weren’t true. Whateva.

    This is not the first time he went up side her head and it won’t be the last. I don’t feel bad for her any more.

  • Ex- Domestic Violence Victim

    Yeah, I’d take him back too. I would feed him some goodies every day day until he died. Each day would have a special menu.

    1. Botulinum – is the gold standard. Your nervous system fails and you die in extreme pain.

    2. Ricin (ingested or inhaled)

    Made from the lowly castor bean, ricin causes respiratory and organ failure, followed by death within hours. Even chewing a few beans can kill you.

    3. Anthrax (inhaled)

    Cutaneous exposure can kill, but the most deadly, panic-inspiring form of anthrax is inhaled. It starts with flu that doesn’t get better – then your respiratory system collapses.

    4. Sarin (inhaled)

    Sarin is one of the deadliest nerve gases, hundreds of times more toxic than cyanide. Just one whiff and you’ll foam at the mouth, fall into a coma, and die.

    5. Tetrodotoxin (ingested)

    Found in the organs of puffer fish If the toxin is consumed, paralysis and death can strike within six hours.

    6. Cyanide (ingested or inhaled) leads to seizures, cardiac arrest, and death within minutes.

    7. Mercury (inhaled)

    Low levels of mercury are not especially toxic to adults. However, inhaled mercury vapor (the metal starts turning to a gas at room temp) attacks the brain and lungs, shutting down the central nervous system.

    8. Strychnine (ingested or inhaled)

    A common pesticide, causes every muscle in your body spasms violently until you die from exhaustion.

    9. Amatoxin (ingested)

    Derived from the death cap family of mushrooms, amatoxin destroys your liver and kidneys over several days. You remain conscious – and in excruciating pain – until you slip into a coma and expire.

    10. Compound 1080 (ingested or inhaled)

    As an animal poison, compound 1080 proved a little too effective: The bodies of creatures killed with 1080 remain poisonous for up to a year. Odorless, tasteless, water soluble, and without antidote, 1080 blocks cellular metabolism, leading to a quick yet painful death.

    I would hate his ass until the end of time. Yeah, I would take him back, all right.

  • Mizz Emerald

    This is ignorance at its best…I think im in the wrong business, I need to get me a reverend license and open me a church somewhere, and u know people are still going to see this dude and give his azz more money…wtf.

    It has probably been happening it just came out in the open. That MFer probably told her if you leave I’ll kill you like Ike did Tina. That is so daxn sad. It really really is!

    So what is he preaching in church if he is beating her in the parking lot?? It is obvioulsy not love thy neighbor or wife as you would love yourself.

  • david

    Sounds like a winner. Now, when he kills her, her congregation can rest comfortably knowing that she stood by her man . . . NOT!! She’s a money-grubbing, attention-seeking imbecile and all of this rolls back to her advice-giving empire. Things aren’t looking so good on that front right now so she is trying to shake things up with a reconcilitation.

  • T-Real (Ain’t he some gorgeous eye candy?)

    I’ve never heard Bishop Weeks speak but I know for a fact that Prophetess Bynum is a powerful woman of God. Many people feel as though when you are an ambassador for God (Christian) that you don’t have trials. They believe that you’re not human and don’t face a lot of the things non-Christians face which is totally not true. The devil has been trying to discredit God’s people (especially, those in leadership) from the beginning of time.

  • lisalisa

    To Ex Domestic Violence:

    Damn, are you a scientist?

  • marla williams

    GOOD for juanita she needs to run like HELL now… go on with your life SISTA! he needs to be sat down at his church and his congregation should demand that he do so. HE needs to get help and his anger under control. How can you help the WORLD when you cannot help yourself….

  • kna80

    Please this was nothing but a set-up from the beginning. Let either of them write a book or produce a movie and we’ll see how fast everyone go out to buy.

  • Ava

    Juanita is a hyporcrite. I will never believe another word that comes out of her mouth or Weeks’ mouth. He sat there on BET and told a bold face lie about the real truth coming out in court, Paleeze. And she had her face plastered everywhere talking about she is the face of domestic violence, WHATEVER. So basically she is telling women its okay to get your behind kicked and go back for money. I am disgusted.

  • Just Sayin

    @Pimp Daddy

    LMBAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • T-Real (Ain’t he some gorgeous eye candy?)

    @jusplayit04

    I’m not saying the fact that she allegedly didn’t pay taxes is all of the devil. That’s not what this post is about. This post is about her husband beating her and her considering reconciliation. We are not speaking about her as a woman who has been assaulted but specifically as a woman of God being assaulted. Assault is assault. This incident was a tool used for the enemy to form a weapon (which he did) to look at her and her ministry; and not the assault. Tell me how many people you have heard discredit her since this has happened. Those who already didn’t believe in her ministry and those who did but don’t anymore because of this. That’s all I’m saying.

    There is a person I know right now who said she never wanted to hear anything else Prophetess Bynum has to say on marriage. Mind you, this is the same lady who was so excited and blessed by a message she heard but since this happened she feels differently. That’s what the devil wanted.

    All I’m saying is that Prophetess Bynum has a message from God that the devil don’t want anyone to hear because he knows that once that word has gone forth, he’s going to lose a great number of unsaved people that he wants to join him in hell.

    No, we can’t blame the devil for everything because we have a choice. In this case, I do believe the devil is out to steal, kill, and destroy a message but what he has meant for bad, God is going to turn it around for good.

    I HOPE EVERYTHING TURNS AROUND FOR THE BOTH OF THEM – I HAD THE CHANCE TO HEAR HER SPEAK (BEFORE THE DRAMA) AND THEN WHEN THIS CAME OUT IT KIND OF MADE ME THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT HER BECAUSE SHE “TALKS THE TALK” – BUT AS SOMEONE ELSE SAID IN ANOTHER POST “EVEN THOSE THAT LIVE IN THE CHURCH ARE STILL HUMAN AT THE END OF THE DAY” – GOOD LUCK JUANITA!!!!

  • pretty thang

    Those people are HUMAN ….hello!Stop putting people on pedistals. Pastor, Rev.,

    or Priest. They go through the same stuff.

  • WhatTheHell?

    I thinks she’s being blackmailed. There are rumors of him threatening to ‘out’ her on some past lesbian encounter(s). She’s really, really gonna need Jesus to take the wheel on this one. She’s in a mess. Weeks is super shady, untrustworthy, disloyal, greedy and hot tempered. Yep, she’s in some mess, now.

  • Wenzel Dashington

    See, that man was performing an exorcism on his wife. The devil had taken over and he had to choke that evil spirit and stomp it back down to hell.

  • VicKaLiCiouS

    He looks kinda sweet in the face. I heard him on Wendy Williams too, and he was talking very reckless about JB….now he’s pleading guilty and apologizing. Jeesh, the people @ his church need to find them somewhere else to worship cuz can’t have a wolf in sheeps clothing leading you. Cuz he really just leading them to hell.

  • Southern Belle 225

    I don’t think she is has holy as she puts on. I can’t put my finger on it but I did see that horrific wedding and I must say, I was in awe. It was the most ridiculous and over the top thing I had ever seen. I got the impression, from watching the HOURS long event, that money and apperance were at the very top of her list. Of course, I could always be wrong, but I don’t think so. I think more on the real her and him will come out as time goes on and I’m not talking about what they did in the past, I mean how they presently are. We’ll see what happens.

  • http://usm.edu Ms Sippi

    This was an humbling experience for Juanita. Sometimes we as people rather be unhappy than alone. As a young woman, I have learned to be happy alone after the end of my three and a half year relationship/engagement which happened to be abusive. It was hard and for the first few weeks. I would call my guy friends over just to hold me at night. Until, my aunt warn me that if i did not plan to have sex, do not allow my friends in my bed, so I stopped. I know the warning signs of a controller/abuser and I quickly cut them off.I can really go threw some dates.I simply replace them. My homegirl saids I give guys a hard time but as a young, single, educated, and ambitious lady, I just cant take no mess. If you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything. I don’t discredit Juanita being a powerful woman of God. I serve warning to anyone who has a calling on their life, you are going to have to go threw some things or been threw somethings. God don’t need any jelly back people in his camp. He look for surviors and people that has overcome some situations, someone who have some victories under their belt. So, I say halleluyah anyhow!

    She and He are shady as hell. Next time he’ll do more than throw her on the ground. he did all that lieing on the radio and tv. Now there’s a book… hustlers true hustlers..in vain. This is why people don’t support these big time hollywood spiritual leadrs, they ball harder than the wordly folk. Misleading leaders i would say. And she’ll take him bck secretly but she busted him out in public. She loves the spotlight. they deserve each other.

    JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE CLAIM TO BE OF GOD OFR CHURCH LEADERS DOESNT MEAN THEY ARENT SHADY AND ABOUT THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR..SITTING UP BRAINWASHING PEOPLE WHILE COLLECTING CHEESE ROLLING IN JAGS AND LIVING IN MULTI MILLION DOLLAR HOMES..

    THESE TWO ARE JUST AS BAD AS HILLARY!

  • Just a Thought

    For those of you who have never been involved in a domestic violence situation, you have no idea how screwed up psychologically a woman in that situation becomes. She has no belief in her self worth, and the abuser preys on this insecurity to keep her there. It’s very close to how physically/sexually abused children almost ALWAYS side with their abuser.

    It still amazes me how much venom is directed towards Christians who have made mistakes. It’s not our place to judge, because truth be told there is not a person on this planet that has lived a perfect life besides Jesus.

    And, for the ill-informed gentlemen on this site who adhere to the “black women want a thug, so go ‘head and slap a h@e” mentality, go sit down somewhere. Black women have unfortunately come to accept abuse, mistreatment, denigration, and widespread disrespect from black men because we don’t hold them to a higher standard. I’m in a college town, and you would not believe the amount of disrespect that comes my way when a young black man approaches me. And, 99.99% of the time, when I check his retarded self, he comes correct and displays more appropriate behavior. So ladies, stop dealing with knuckleheads in the name of giving a brother a chance.

    These two people are suppose to be spiritual advisors. This is why alot of churches are so messed up and people are not getting the healing that they need because you have mess like this running the church.

    I would not be surprised if they don’t try and come out with a spiritual couple book. Which would be sad because people will actually by it.

  • Darkest Nubian

    If you did’nt know some church folks do have good intentions but for the most part they are crooks, cheats and frauds. Nothing not even “JESUS CHRIST” exempts them from the rest of the world. They know that whatever position they take in or out of the church they are going to “sin” or remain human. So they learn to cover up thier lives, with no regrets. They are only motivational speakers people. STOP PRESEDENTING THESE PEOPLE AND START PRESENDENTING YOURSELVES AND YOUR CHILDREN!!!

    DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE!!!

  • Darkest Nubian

    WEEKS beat her because he’s an abusive MAN just like any other man that’s abusive. MY question is… With Juanita being the strong independent woman she appears to be what made her continue with him and his ways for as long as she endured it?

  • w.w.

    he looks gay, anyway…
