Got this from another site. When talking about the murder someone commented no wonder Vanity divorced him,poor Vanity,to which someone else responded: Vanity wasn't all that innocent herself. He was engaged to another woman when she pursued him. I still remember that Ebony interview they did and she was disrespecting him by becoming overzealous with her "ministry" and bringing homeless people, prostitutes, drug addicts and felons up in the house without his permission trying to clean them up and give them food and his clothes, even having them take showers in the house. DISRESPECTFUL! Now Vanity used to have some post on her website claiming if you want to be blessed give me some money (not in those exact words but something like that.)

Once I looked at Vanity's website (this was a long time ago, I think maybe in 2000) and there was a place where you could click to have her come to your church, I don't know why but I clicked on it, and she had all fancy demands if she were to come speak at your church/ she would need a certain amount of money (Obviously) i can't remember the amount/ but also she would have to be put up in a four star hotel/ she would need a car from the airport (she could have said limo but I don't remember now) and also men to carry her bags etc. Now, I love Vanity and truly believe she is sincere in her Christianity but this turned me off a bit.

I feel disillusioned hearing this. I really thought she was sincere and truly dedicated to being born again Christian, etc. This makes it sound like this reformation is just another way to make money.

I hope there has been some big misunderstanding.

I actually STILL believe that she is 100 percent sincere- even after reading that- but I think certain people become accustomed to a certain lifestyle and feel entitled. Not that she shouldn't feel entitled but from all her demands, she seemed to feel a bit TOO entitled, ya know? But I do not think she is in it for the money, not at all. I certainly feel that she's no fake phony! Not like that pink haired nut on TBN- she's not one of those! i think she really loves God with her whole heart imo

I'm not surprised by this at all! Alot of churches and so called born agains are just after money. I won't comment on whether or not she is born again, that's between her and GOD, but I definately wouldn't want to hear her speak or visit my church with those kind of demands!

Is Vanity praying for him?

I don't think that she's faking "her walk" either. What she asked for may be a bit much, but it's not that uncommon. The difference is that she's Vanity and she requests were made public. Ministers are asked to speak at other churches all across the globe. Trust the more "in demand" the speaker, the more perks s/he will be given to preach at the guest church. Because, the host knows that certain "big name" ministers will bring in a lot of visitors and that usually means more money in the collection plate. And depending on what's in the heart of receiver, that can be either a good thing or a bad thing. Unfortunately, ministry, in some cases, is looked at as just another hustle; therefore, there are a lot of false prophets in the pulpit.

Who did he murder?

Of course, they've been parted for quite some time. He wasn't the best husband for her either.
