She was in the headlines last month after being involved in an altercation with Whitney Houston over hip hop artist Ray J just days before her death.

And today X Factor finalist Stacy Francis has confirmed the shocking news that California mega-church leader Bishop Noel Jones is the father of her second child.

The singer was hoping to keep the focus on her new single, a gospel version of the Prince classic Purple Rain, but will now go from battling rumours about her relationship with Ray J to explaining this one.

Baby daddy: Stacy Francis has revealed that Pentacostal Bishop Noel Jones is the father of her second child

Former X Factor finalist Stacy had kept the identity of her second child's father a secret, but RadarOnline.com outed him as a Pentacostal Bishop.

Bishop Jones, 62, who runs the City of Refuge Church in Gardena, California, is also the brother of singer and supermodel Grace Jones

An insider explains that Stacy was going through a divorce from her husband and the father of her first child, Darwin Kyle Hayes, when she had an affair with the Bishop resulting in her second child, Anastasia Noelle Jones.

Bad press: Stacy was involved in a nightclub brawl with Whitney Houston over hip-hop singer Ray J just days before her death

'It was very taboo for a man in his position in the church to get involved with a married woman,' a source said.

'Stacy is very protective of her children and feels like she should be the one to release information about her baby's father when she's ready,' the source added.

'But at the same time, she's getting really tired of hiding and trying to avoid all the questions.'

Stacy, 42, said in a statement today: 'I love him very much and I am not ashamed of my baby. Our baby.'

Ladies' man: The divorced Bishop has also been involved with Real Housewives star NeNe Leakes and actress LisaRaye McCoy

Stacy first admitted to becoming pregnant from a man other than her husband on the VH1 reality TV show Beverly Hills Fabulous.

'I just finished going through a divorce,' a heavily pregnant Stacy revealed to stylist Elgin Charles while getting her hair done. 'We were actually separated and we were going through the divorce and it’s not his baby.'

Jones, who is divorced with three adult children, has also been romantically linked to Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes and actress LisaRaye McCoy.

Bishop Noel Jones responds to the rumors that he is the fathered a bastard child by X-Factor’s Stacy Francis.
Read the following statement he sent out on Twitter just hours ago:

This is Bishop Noel Jones. Please focus with me on the positive efforts we expend daily towards improving people’s lives, including the provision of food & clothing to tens of thousands of people, in sharing the Gospel and in doing God’s work around the world. Rumors and innuendo, to the extent they attract attention, may further assist us in exposing more people, causing them to join Gideon’s Army and one another in making the world a better place.

Love,

Bishop Noel Jones

So in other words:

THAT NICCA DID IT!

Course he did it. He's a hypocrite and he's in for it, cause Stacy strikes me as a chickenhead. That girl is thirsty. I see lawsuits in the bishop's future. Old girl is gonna put him on blast.

The takeaway piece of news here is that Grace Jones has a brother who is the leader of a mega-church! Every other name in this story only elicits in me the question... "WHO?"

I went to his church today & he seemed exhausted. I guess this chicken head is stressing him. A lot of women show up in short dresses(some no underwear). and try to sit in the front row to get his attention. So much so that they stopped them from sitting up there...

It's that duck ass negroes fault for impregnating her anyways. If you can't wrap it up, your problem.

I hope this doesn't stop Jada from donating anymore money...

Reminds me of the time I learned Jerry Lee Lewis was related to Jimmy Swaggart!
