Reason to love New York No. 29: Because the story of the bishop robbed during his church service is so much wilder than the headlines. svzwood reports RTLNY
Photo: Jason Nocito‘Thank you,’” the bishop complains. “I didn’t get one thank-you.” He goes on: “You want to know why? Because I was portrayed as a villain. I was portrayed as a failure.” He’s repeating himself now as though he’s in the throes of a sermon, working over a phrase he plucked from Scripture. “Nobody said ‘Thank you.’ Not even the mayor. He said, ‘You did good,’ or whatever. Nobody said ‘Thank you.
The public’s harsh conclusion about the robbery was that any man of the cloth so well appointed, with that checkered a legal past, preaching in such an incongruously shoeboxlike venue, must have staged the whole thing in an insurance-fraud scheme. Here was the bishop as Monty Python’s “Bishop,” a swagged-out vigilante cleric who appeared at crime scenes too late and didn’t seem all that religious. Shortly after the robbery, the rapper Fat Joe, a friend, interviewed the bishop live on Instagram.
At his house, the bishop pulls up surveillance video of the robbery that hadn’t been seen publicly. In it, frightened churchgoers can be seen hitting the deck; jewelry is brusquely yanked from his neck. Just 3 of his 15 stolen pieces were insured, he says, and none of them were recovered. “Where is everybody at right now?” he asks. “It’s not that I’m not the hot story no more,” he clarifies, answering himself. “No. It’s, ‘You guys got egg in your face.
“Millions of dollars I’ve lost because of people like these YouTubers,” the bishop says. “They turned me from a victim to a villain.”when Lamor was 6 weeks old, his father, Arthur Miller, a Crown Heights businessman and community leader, was choked to death by police officers, sparking sustained protests throughout the summer. No cops were indicted. Lamor was raised by his mother, who worked for what was then called the Board of Education. “I remember my mother couldn’t afford Nikes.
The bishop also became close with then–Borough President Eric Adams, who bonded with him over his father’s killing. “Everybody looks at the man as a mayor — I look at Eric different. I look at him as a person who helped save my manhood,” he says. “When you don’t know your father, you don’t even know what that side of your DNA is, why you act the way you do.
