Did Bishop Eddie L. Long AKA Dick Tracy engineer Centino Kemp into the image of a woman, during their alleged six year relationship?
I listened to the interview William McCray III had with Bishop Eddie L. Long's fifth accuser and I am amazed at how troubled Centino Kemp came across. It seems that he was engineered to take on the persona of a woman, so much so that he allegedly ended up in an asylum in DeKalb county, Ga. He also alleges that he was raped during the first encounter with "Dick Tracy" at age 15. For six years, Kemp thought he was in a serious relationship with "Dick Tracy," but realized after the lawsuits were filed by Spencer LeGrande, Jamal Parris, Maurice Robinson and Anthony Flagg that wasn't the case.
Kemp said he was allegedly made to feel guilty after the first encounter. Bishop Long started buying him gifts and paying his bills. He said he fell in love with Bishop Long after he had an accident and Long covered his medical expenses. He bought jewelry and paid all his living expenses. He was under the impression that the relationship was exclusive, though he knew Long was married to Vanessa Long. When he found out about the lawsuit filed by B.J. Bernstein, he attached himself to the settlement and went to court and became enraged that he was played for a fool by Long. He took off a bracelet and ring that Long had given him and threw it at Long's chest in court. The judge threatened to hold him in contempt of court. He developed an alter-ego called the "Wild Child" to deal with the relationship with Long.
It is very disturbing to see Centino Kemp's transition from a growing young man into a "drag queen" of sorts searching for his identity or was this identity imposed upon him? I am also troubled that we haven't seen anyone else come forward with him as a parent. It seemed that Bishop Long allegedly preyed on young men without a father-figure in their lives. Young men searching for that male role model. How different is this accuser than a pedophile?
Not matter how you view this situation, it is clear that Centino Kemp needs psychological counseling. There is no way on earth he can go on with life as usual. There are scars and it starts with defining who Centino Kemp really is. Is he comfortable with the RuPaul persona he is now exuding or is he confused? It's also damning that he still walks around with Bishop Long's name tattooed to his wrist and doesn't think he will remove it. What's equally disturbing is that the members of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church aren't holding Bishop Long accountable and demanding that he either explain what happened or step down from the pulpit because he is no better than a pedophile seeking out young black males. Centino Kemp, Spencer LeGrande, Jamal Parris, Anthony Flagg and Maurice Robinson are in need of strong male figures in their lives, not pedophiles who want to take away their dignity and violate them.
