Juanita Bynum, the fiery televangelist and best selling author, was savagely attacked by her estranged husband in an Atlanta hotel parking lot. The reason for their meeting was to reconcile their marriage.

Bynum, whose ministry is based in Waycross, and her estranged husband,Thomas W. Weeks III, had met up at Renaissance Concourse Hotel near Atlanta's
Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport to try to reconcile, Atlanta police
said. But while at the parking lot about 4 a.m., the two got into a physical
fight until a bellman at the hotel pulled Bynum's husband off her, Officer
Ronald Campbell said. "She was bruised up and battered," Campbell said. "She
had purple bruising around her neck and upper torso."
The husband, who is also a preacher, left the scene. No charges have been filed against him, according to police.(SOURCE)
