AceShowbiz – Another Hillsong pastor was embroiled in a sexual scandal. Married Pastor Darnell Barrett of Montclair in Hillsong Church, New Jersey, stepped down from his creative director role Tuesday, April 27 after he was caught sharing his explicit photos with a woman other than his wife is.
Barrett was caught outside his home by the Daily Mail admitting he had quit the church citing “infidelity” he “worked through” with his wife. “We thought it would be best for me to keep going. I don’t want to go into the details,” he said.
Barrett, who previously appeared on Steve HarveyHowever, the talk show firmly believed that sending his explicit pictures to the woman was “an honest mistake”. He told the news agency, “This was just an honest mistake and I will let my wife know as soon as it happened.”
The father of two claimed he had no intention of seeing the woman. “I didn’t try to lure them at all,” he explained. “I understand that in the context of what is happening with Hillsong, she would draw these conclusions. But I hardly know her. That was not my intention.”
The photos in question show Barrett becoming shirtless at the gym after a workout wearing Nike Pro Compression Tights that outlined his manhood. About the pictures, he wrote: “Depression and anxiety have got the best out of me in the last 30 hours.”
The nameless woman, who said she was a former volunteer in Hillsong, claimed the pastor sent her similar photos before posting those insightful pictures on his Instagram stories. In his direct messages to the woman, Barrett wrote, “Hey! I think I added you to my close friends list by mistake. I’m so sorry. I’m trying to figure out how the hell to edit it. It’s real.” I send raw s ** t to my friends man. Lol. ”
The woman replied, “Lol rude! I’m NOT a close friend, you say. Haha, that’s fine.” The pastor wrote back, “Seriously, I’m sorry. I think” before the volunteer blocked him.

She went on to claim, “Obviously you wanted me to see the shirtless photos and the outline of your d ** k. Let’s not play and act like that, that wasn’t the point. Your messages to make me yours See raw food. ” s ** t ‘are obvious.’ “”
She also accused him of using a “fishing scheme” to “see if I am going to bite”. Barrett replied, “I’m sorry?” before she blocked him again.
