ATLANTA (CNN) - The wife of Georgia televangelist Bishop Eddie Long has filed for divorce, according to a statement issued Friday by her attorney.
Vanessa G. Long's statement did not specify why she is seeking a divorce from Long.
"It is my sincere hope that this matter can be resolved expeditiously, harmoniously, and fairly," she said in the statement. "I ask that you respect my privacy and that of my family, as my attorneys and I have agreed that we will not try this case in the media, and I do not intend to make any further statements concerning this matter."
Last spring,<span style="color: #FF0000"> Long settled a lawsuit filed by four young men who accused him of pressuring them into sexual relationships</span> while they were teenagers and members of Long's congregation at New Life Missionary Church in Lithonia, Georgia.

Long is also being sued by former parishioners who accuse him of getting them to invest in a Ponzi scheme that wiped out at least $1 million in their retirement savings.
