Hillsong pastor accuses unnamed leader of bullying, sexual abuse, ‘boob job’ offer
published on Medium on Memorial Day, Leona Kimes, 37 — currently a lead pastor of Hillsong Boston — has alleged that in the seven years she spent as a nanny for Hillsong NYC pastors, she was “subjected to manipulation, control, bullying, abuse of power, and sexual abuse.”Her allegations join a months-long stream of claims about the formerly celebrity-adored church and its leaders, beginning with the shocking news that its now-fired head “hypepriest” pastor Carl Lentz had cheated on his wife. His “moral failure” exposed rifts across the church, fraud accusations and congregant allegations of abuse.
