Pastor John Gray, Accused of Cheating on Wife, Says He’s Victim of Extortion Plot

A Greenville-based law firm representing Rev. John Gray says the Relentless Church pastor is being blackmailed and extorted based on new allegations of an inappropriate relationship.

The allegations of an extramarital relationship first spread on social media and entertainment news websites on Friday when a woman who claimed to have been communicating with Gray was featured on a live video stream on YouTube.

Attorneys Devon Puriefoy and Kimberly Thomason told The Greenville News on Monday that the allegations are based solely on phone calls, not physical contact.

“There are allegations that there were phone conversations between the two parties, and that’s essentially the extent of the allegations,” Puriefoy said. “When you take her own words, she says there was no affair, no physical contact, they never met each other, they never saw each other.”
