The 66-year-old pastor, who oversees one of the top 50 most well-known congregations in America, is a dependable community member, a father, and a grandfather who has spent decades growing ministry for people of all ages. Many were eager to accept the bloggers’ accounts and make light of the odious accusations, even though he has done a great deal of charitable work in the Dallas area and around the world.
The spokesperson called it “disheartening to witness” how quickly the rumor spread on social media, how simple it was to create a deep fake and misrepresent his remarks, and how frequently sensationalized misrepresentations were used to encapsulate purported statements to falsely speculate and attack others, including Bishop Jakes.
She asserted that there is still a great deal of work to be done to improve the planet. The Bible emphasizes the value of having empathy and caring for others, particularly those who are vulnerable or in need.
Chairman Jakes will not be deterred by erroneous, perverse, naive, or conspiratorial rumors; instead, he will persist in his unwavering commitment to bringing about significant change for millions of people worldwide, guided by the ageless values of ministry, service, and compassion.
What Happened To TD Jakes?
In response to his name being linked to recent accusations against Sean “Diddy” Combs, Bishop T.D. Jake has finally spoken. The popular televangelist’s representative has referred to the allegations making the rounds on social media as “unequivocally false and baseless.”
On Monday, December 18, a video produced by someone going by the handle Tuff News TV went viral. In it, Jake was accused of engaging in inappropriate sexual conduct with a minor, hosting events with Diddy, and having same-gender relationships. This led to the emergence of rumors surrounding the author of “Women Thou Art Loosed.”
According to the video, Cassie Ventura, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, provided proof to the federal authorities. She allegedly settled a civil action for tens of millions of dollars after accusing the hip-hop mogul of abusing her for almost ten years. This assertion has not been verified.
Influencers on social media, such as Jusnene, a TikTok user whose video on the topic had nearly two million views, have reposted the video even though they have no evidence that it is authentic. After the video got public, Jake was trending on several social media sites in a matter of minutes.
After 41 years of marriage, Jake and Serita Jakes have five adult children together. He has grown to be a well-known public figure in the religious world over the years, inspiring people with his writings, lectures, and charitable endeavors.
Shortly after, Jakes’s team issued a statement addressing the truthfulness of the accusations and defending the pastor’s honor to preserve his reputation.
Jordan A. Hora, executive director of public relations and communications for the T.D. Jakes Group, T.D. Jakes Ministries and The Potter’s House stated in an exclusive statement to The Christian Post on Thursday that recent allegations about Bishop T.D. Jakes that have been making the rounds on certain social media platforms are categorically untrue and unfounded.
In the words of the late Pastor Charles H. Spurgeon, “What has always been true is that if you want a lie to travel the world, it will fly; it is as light as a feather, and a breath will carry it. However, if you want the truth to travel the world, you must hire an express train to pull it.”
Additionally, TD Jakes Entertainment’s executive vice president Derrick Williams has commented on Jakes’ apparent appearance at one of Diddy’s birthday parties a few years back, saying that his presence was customary given his tight relationships with the entertainment industry.
Bishop Jakes, the CEO of T.D. Jakes Entertainment honored the former Chairman of Revolt on his birthday as a director, executive producer, and one of the forerunners of value-based cinema, according to Williams.
The statement went on to say that since Bishop Jakes’s sermons are broadcast on the Revolt Network, we thought it was appropriate to make a fleeting appearance at the former Chairman of Revolt’s birthday celebration. Bishop Jakes was in Los Angeles for important business meetings.
The problematic rap producer T.D. Jakes launched Revolt, a network that airs Jakes’ show “Kingdom Culture with T.D. Jakes,” which he and Diddy planned for 2021.
