Divorce Court Features Televangelists

Even God wasn’t enough to keep Televangelist Juanita Bynum married to Thomas W. Weeks III.

Juanita Bynum and Thomas Weeks III in happier times.

The couple is going to get divorced in a two episode Divorce Court show. Mr. Weeks III assaulted Juanita and now she wants out. According to police reports he kicked, stomped and choked her in an Atlanta hotel parking lot last August. He was sentenced to three years probation for the assault.

Juanita Bynum told the judge:

“I was just trying to make it work because I don’t like losing relationships,” Bynum told Judge Lynn Toler, who hears cases on the syndicated show distributed by Twentieth Television. “All of this just kept getting swept under the rug … So you begin to adapt to a very wrong and very unhealthy marriage.”

Bynum and Weeks will present their case in Divorce Court on Thursday and Friday of this week.

Bynum is a former hairdresser and flight attendant who became a Pentecostal evangelist, author and gospel singer. Weeks is the founder of Global Destiny churches.
