PASTOR’S WIFE & JUMPOFF THROW DOWN IN CHURCH

(blackmediaSCOOP) Shocked church members say a fight broke out at New Salem Missionary Baptist Church in Memphis last Sunday during the Communion services! The members watched as two women threw down right in the middle of service and the police had to be called.

Since the fight, cops have launched a FULL investigation to get to the bottom of this mess! Even though news reports claim it was three church members, insiders and the church’s message boards are reporting it was the first lady and the pastor’s mistress who got into the fight! DANG! In the church?!

Soon after the fight between the two women kicked off, a brawl between two families sparked near the church’s choir section, reports WMCTV who also reports that Beverly Milam, her nemesis Terry Bell, and Bell’s daughter, Charra Lumpkin, were at the center of the throw down.

Bell and Milam revealed that the fight began over a verbal confrontation during Bible study where Milam told Bell to “stop sleeping with somebody” which led to Bell getting in her face.

At the fight in church on Sunday, both women are claiming the other one started it. Bell claims Milam hit her daughter, while Milam claims Angel, Bell’s friend, hit her in the face with an umbrella and that’s when family ‘jumped in.’ Oh snap!

Later, officers arrived on the church scene and separated the women and others from fighting.

No one was arrested. Milam was treated at the church, for a slightly swollen and bloodshot right eye, while the other two (Bell and Lumpkin, who both suffered from scratch marks to their neck and upper chest) refused medical treatment.

There are also reports that pastor Frank Ray is known for this kind of church drama. This is not the first time an incident like this has taken place under Ray’s leadership.

What do you think about this mess?
