Bishop Thomas Weeks Will Not Contest Divorce Filing by Wife Juanita Bynum
Bishop Thomas Weeks will not contest the divorce proceedings filed by wife, evangelist Juanita Bynum. Bynum filed for divorce Monday.
Initially, Weeks wanted to reconcile with Weeks, but "has come to the personal resolve, that if Juanita is insistent on a divorce, he will not stand in the way," his attorneys said in a statement.
Bynum's attorney Karla Walker said she is withdrawing a divorce petition filed in southern Georgia's Ware County, where Bynum has a home, and refiling the case in Gwinnett County, where Weeks lives.
Bynum claims Weeks choked, pushed and stomped on her in an Atlanta hotel parking lot after an Aug. 21 meeting in which the couple failed to reconcile.
Weeks faces charges of aggravated assault and making terroristic threats. He is free on $40,000 bond and is not allowed to have contact with Bynum.
Bynum is known for her messages on female empowerment and motivational speaking. She now has become an advocate for domestic violence awareness and wants to be seen as a survivor, not a victim.
