What led Latoshia Daniels to seek counseling from Pastor Brodes?
So this anger management counselor is about to get mad and shoot a pastor. Now the counselor's name is Latasha. And Latasha is about 37 when all this starts and she's living in Little Rock, Arkansas. And she's a social worker and an anger management counselor. But Latasha has a problem. Her marriage is in a really bad place. Things just don't seem to be working out. And one day in 2017, she decides to get some counseling from this pastor that she had met through her church. The pastor, his name is Brodus. So she meets with Pastor Brodez for their first session and I guess LaTosha must be feeling a connection because she starts telling him everything about how she's feeling lack of love in the relationship with her husband and how she doesn't feel emotionally fulfilled and whatnot.
And I guess Pastor Brodez is saying all the right things back and it goes so well that LaTosha decides to meet with him for a second session. Here's the thing about this second session though. At this session, Pastor Brodess starts looking at Latasha like she kind of foy. And I guess as she's telling him more and more about her failing marriage, he feels like this is his moment to make a move and he and Latasha start making out. And one thing leads to another and pretty soon they are a smashing. And this is great for LaTosha. I mean, suddenly she's getting everything that's been missing in her marriage. So from here, she and Pastor Brodez decide to start a relationship. Here's the problem with them starting a relationship though.
Not only is she still married, but Pastor Brodez is also married. So they gotta keep all this side smashing a secret. Now, during this secret affair, LaTosha actually starts going through the process of getting a divorce. Pastor Brodus does not. He keeps his marriage going. And he also lays down a list of very strict rules for their secret affair. He tells her she has to download this specific messaging app where their messages immediately disappear after being seen. He tells her that she has to pay her own way when she goes on trips with him. That way his bank statements don't tip off his wife. Not only that, but he seems to be a somewhat controlling guy. Like, when they stay in hotel rooms, he orders her to always be naked.
And he'll legitimately get angry at her if she forgets, or if she, like, you know, gets cold and puts clothes on. And at some point, he starts demanding that she always call him sir. And answer things with yes sir or no sir. And of course, all of these are huge red flags to you and me.
How did Latoshia's relationship with Pastor Brodes evolve into an affair?
But LaTosha, she's not trying to see that. She's in love with this dude. In fact, she likes him so much that she even starts buying him fancy gifts. Like nice bourbons or expensive cigars or workout clothes. Really anything he wants. She is in deep. So as this affair progresses, they're going on all these trips together, like Las Vegas and Israel and Savannah. But what they're not doing is they're not being honest with each other. At least he's not being honest with her.
Because he's always trying to talk to her about ethical non-monogamy or something. And he tells her that his wife knows about their affair. She definitely doesn't know. And that she's totally fine with him hooking up with Latasha on the side. She's definitely not fine with him hooking up with Latasha on the side.
Now his wife is this woman, Tabitha. And Tabitha, she doesn't know about any of this. And she certainly didn't agree to any ethical non-monogamy or whatever. But we'll get back to Tabitha. Now, at some point in 2018, this whole secret love affair gets even worse for LaTosha. Because Pastor Brodez gets offered a job as a pastor at a different church a few states away over in Tennessee. And he has decided to accept this job. And now he's no longer going to live there and be near LaTosha. So he and his wife Tabitha move from Little Rock over to Tennessee and they settle there. But Latasha, she is not ready to let this relationship go. So she and Pastor Brodez do the long distance thing and this works for a while.
