      *It was only yesterday in EUR's Gospel Pages that we broke the news of 48-year-old Juanita Bynum playing the part of a twenty something TV producer in the upcoming movie "Mama I Want to Sing."

      Now comes the news that the televangelist, known for her fiery and frank sermons about women's empowerment have won her a national following, got the crap beat out of her by her husband who's also a minister!

      Atlanta police say Bynum, became the victim of domestic abuse after her husband, Bishop Thomas Weeks, savagely beat her in a hotel parking lot Tuesday night-Wednesday morning.

      It has also come to light that Rev. Bynum and Bishop Weeks are in the middle of a separation. Apparently the two agreed to meet in the dining room of the Renaissance Hotel near Hartsfield-Jackson airport to try and work out their differences.

      The meeting reportedly did not go well and ended with Bishop Weeks leaving abruptly. Reverend Bynum followed him to the parking lot where the two exchanged words, says a Bynum relative.

      Then, according to an Atlanta Police Department report, Weeks allegedly attacked her.  In a statement to police, Bynum said Weeks, "choked her, pushed her down, kicked her and stomped her in the Renaissance parking lot."

      A bellhop at the hotel saw the attack, stepped in and stopped it, says officer Ron Campbell of the APD.

      Rev. Bynum was taken to a local hospital and treated for multiple bruises and swelling. She's being kept an undisclosed location.

      At EUR press time, police were searching for Bishop Thomas Weeks.
