Months after Pastor John Gray was prayed over by T.D. Jakes concerning rumors of his infidelity, voicemails apparently left by Gray to his mistress have come to light — and the messages indicate their affair was not purely emotional.
That’s what Gray had maintained during a sit-down on “The Real” on March 11 with his wife, Pastor Aventer Gray.
“Being in the presence of someone is not the same as sleeping with them,” he said at the time. “I did not sleep with anyone. There is no baby. There’s none of that. So it’s important for me to take responsibility for the areas where I did come up short. Sharing things about my marriage outside of my wife and outside of trusted counselors, it was wrong, and I take responsibility for that.”
However, the alleged mistress, whose identity remains unknown, told the “Larry Reid Live” online entertainment news show on March 11 that the pastor would come on to her after stepping in to help her during hard times.
“He would say, ‘The Lord told me that you need some money so go ahead and check your cash app. I already put money in your account.’ Then he’ll be like, ‘What color panties you got on? Let me see your nipples,’” she alleged.
There was one instance when Gray was supposed to meet his alleged paramour in Atlanta but wound up being unable to do so, according to the entertainment talk show. The pastor left an irritated voicemail instead.
“Yo are you like ignoring me now? I’m just trying to make sure,” he fires off. “Let me get this straight. I’m being ignored by someone who I have sought to sow seed into, get resources to. I’m in your city and I can’t get a call back. I just wanted to make sure I got my facts straight. Got it!”
Later on, the woman is said to have called him back and Gray supposedly booked a room for her at the same hotel he and his wife were staying in. Aventer supposedly later saw the text messages her husband and mistress exchanged, and as their home imploded John Gray left another message.
“When you get this message, delete it,” he says. “My wife saw our text messages from Friday. She knows you were in the same hotel as me and she does not know that I went to your room. She doesn’t remember me leaving. She’s got your number.”
