THOMAS WEEKS' PR FIRM RELEASES TELL-ALL ONLINE: XXposure reverses decision on book's release.

      On behalf of its client, Bishop Thomas Weeks III, XXposure PR has moved forward with the online release of the book about his stormy marriage to televangelist Prophetess Juanita Bynum. 

      Entitled “What Love Taught Me” the tell-all book was initially dropped in late 2007, but was stalled when Weeks became sensitive to Bynum’s emotional response.  That’s when the couple spoke for the first time since the alleged domestic abuse incident last August for which Weeks is facing criminal charges.

      According to Weeks, as previously reported in an exclusive interview with EUR’s Lee Bailey, “... Juanita said when she heard about the book she felt like someone had hit her over the head with a bat.  It was a very dramatized statement, but I heard it and felt it from a husband's perspective.”  Weeks seemed to still have a heartfelt emotional attachment to his estranged wife.

      He held back, but there was a caveat to that choice: XXposure had the right to release the book “if the drama continues.” Bynum has been a consistent no show to appointments, an AP article states, which is holding up legal proceedings in the case. Bynum’s absences were apparently enough agitation to cause Weeks’ representatives to re-issue the book.

      Angelo Ellerbe, head of the New York based firm exclaims, “The truth is no longer on strike and Bishop Weeks has been silent far too long. The book speaks the truth -- no more drama, no more tears, no more lies. Enough of this 'confusement' park! This book must be released!” 

      “The Cover of What Love Taught Me” depicts a photo of the now forlorn lovers dancing at their wedding with a rip between them, a metaphor for the permanent erosion of their relationship. 

      XXposure released the following statement regarding their decision to forego previous plans:

This year marks my 30th year of serving the music, theater, film and TV industries, representing the likes of Michael Jackson, Dionne Warwick and DMX.

Bishop Thomas Weeks III has come aboard for assistance in navigating the very tumultuous media response to his wife, Juanita Bynum’s public sharing of very personal matters. He has sought guidance and publicity representation from Double XXposure Media.

Bishop Weeks released the book “What Love Has Taught Me” in December of 2007 and then withdrew it, believing that the drama and the repetitive denials to the truth, played in the media would diminish and a peaceful resolve could be accomplished. Since that has not been the case, the book, by the discretion of Double XXposure is being re-released, including a bonus section.

      Prophetess Bynum filed for a divorce last September 27, just over a month after her husband allegedly attacked her. During the 4 months after her filing she has not stated her position under oath, despite court time being scheduled to hear directly from her.

      “There’s a thin line between love and indifference and that is where both parties are at this time,” Weeks’ publicist Nakia Hicks said.

      Efforts to secure retail distribution of “What Love Taught Me” are underway.
