Call it divine intervention or a crucial plan of action, but Shaunie O’Neal’s husband, Pastor Keion Henderson, has divided social media after the church closed its congregation.

A video has begun circulating online showing a Lighthouse Church leader having to tell a woman to “shush down” when she screams loudly during a service.

In a video of the May 5 service, Henderson could be seen along with his hands raised in praise as he sang “I Lift Up My Hands” and spoke in tongues. Throughout the silent moment, the constant screaming of a choir member who stood behind the stage could be heard.

At one point, the pastor approached her and said, “Shhh, hey, stop it. Quiet, quiet – and he snapped his finger at her.

As Henderson returned to center stage, he announced, “Silence in the name of Jesus. The only voice I want to hear is his.” Although she seemed to still be reeling with emotion, she not made any disturbing sounds.

Some people online who claimed to be members of the church reported that the person routinely behaved in the identical way every week. One person claimed that she became noticeably louder with each service, leading many to imagine that it was not the Lord’s spirit that was causing her to lose herself in the current moment.

“If she managed to cut it off so quickly, it wasn’t necessary at all,” wrote one critic. Second comment read: “Some people enjoy themselves in church with all the theatricality… that’s enough already.”

But not everyone was completely happy with the way in which Henderson silenced her.

One person rated him as follows: “He works from the spirit of himself, smh.” Another stated that as an alternative of snapping his finger, he must have prayed for her. “Wait now! That’s why people stay at home.”

Another harsh tackle this event was: “How did you silence her in the name of Jesus when the Holy Spirit could be in her? This man was putting on a show… a show…. Like most of them!”

Shaunie’s former best friend Tami Roman also wrote: “The Holy Spirit can’t be silenced. He felt something was improper and shut down.

Henderson has been attending church for a very long time and said he received a call to ministry on the age of 5. He began his first church, Pilgrim Rest Missionary Baptist, in 2003, when he was just 21 years old and a full-time student. In 2009, he founded Lighthouse Church in Houston, Texas, which has since grown to five campuses across the state.

However, the Gary, Indiana native is best often known as the husband of Shaquille O’Neal’s ex-wife. The retired NBA player and Shaunie, the mother of his 4 children, were married for nine years before the wedding led to 2011 due to O’Neal’s infidelity.

Henderson and his now first lady began dating in 2019. They got engaged before Thanksgiving in November 2021.

“It was one of the most magical and special days of my life because I was someone who had never been officially proposed to,” she told People magazine.

She was also completely happy that he was a unprecedented man. The couple married in May 2022. Their blended family also includes his daughter Katelyn from a previous relationship.

Shaquille spoke favorably about his ex’s departure, although he also said she would at all times be “his wife.”

In the promotional segment for NBC advertises the Paris Olympics which first aired on May 4 during the Kentucky Derby broadcast, Richardson meets along with his colleagues lover of artificial nails Cardi B will take pleasure in manicure and girl talk before a serious international sporting event.

“I’ve been looking forward to meeting you and talking to you,” Cardi B says as she welcomes the runner to her luxury hotel suite at the starting of the video, through which the two get manicures and talk openly about Richardson’s training, her mentality and how much Cardi B loves Paris.

“My 9-to-5 corporate life is my 9-to-5 on the track when I’m working out,” Richardson explained to the rapper when asked about her workout schedule. Richardson adds that he trains five days every week.

“It’s value the labor and sacrifices. In moments like these, I show that because of this I do what I do,” said the sprinter.

In August 2023, Richardson won the title of fastest woman in the world by setting a record time and took first place in the 100-meter race at the World Championships in Athletics in Budapest, Hungary, per People.

Richardson’s upcoming run in Paris is very anticipated, especially after her high-profile disqualification from the Tokyo Olympics after testing positive for cannabis in 2021. She is predicted to qualify for the Paris Olympics at the U.S. Track and Field Trials in late June.

“I’m not going to let life, adversity or any obstacle stop me from being in Paris,” Richardson noted in the video, before the ladies’ conversation become excitement about the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games in the “lit” city.

“Paris is like one of my favorite places in the world,” Cardi B said, adding that “when the Olympics are in a lit up city, it changes the mood.”

Richardson agreed. “I feel like the fun will be restored,” she said.

When Richardson personally invited Cardi B to observe her compete in July, the rapper said, “I’ll just come for you… and the shopping.”

At the end of the video, Richardson shows off her extra-long, Olympic-themed manicure to the camera. The full ensemble, which incorporates Olympic colours and gold embellishments, is suitable for a runner whose penchant for long nails reminds many of sprinter Florence Griffith Joyner, often known as Flo-Jo, who was also famous for her long nails on the track.

The video is labeled “Part 1,” which could mean this is not the last time the duo will see one another before the Olympics end.

The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris is scheduled to start airing on July 26 on NBC and Peacock.
