A Brooklyn bishop robbed of approx. $1 million in jewelry while giving a sermon is suing his naysayers for defamation.  Bishop Lamor Miller-Whitehead was live-streaming a sermon last July when he was jacked at the pulpit.  The robbers got away with an estimated $75,000  Rolex, gold chains, cross pendant, sleeve cuffs and a large ring. 

The Bishop has filed individual $20 million lawsuits against two men who publicly claimed Whitehead was a scammer, among other things, leading the plaintiff to lose “business deals, church members, and income,’’ the suits say.
