SGN has just learned that Naomi Sego has addressed some of the statements made by former member Kasey Kemp to the Christian Voice Magazine. Sego told CVM that she would issue a full, official public statement regarding her ministry and future plans shortly.

Until that time, Sego addressed the following statements made by Kasey Kemp:

Kemp: “First of all, we DID discuss the possibility with Naomi about purchasing the name WHEN we were part of the group.”
Naomi states: “While nothing was mentioned about a “purchase” of the Sego name, Kasey did ask me about using the name. Permission to use the name was declined, as other Sego singers and family members would not approve.”

Kemp: “She said she would like to talk with her Son, but she didn't have any problems with it.”
Naomi states: “I did speak with my son, and he said, “no.” I never said I didn’t have a problem with it.”

Kemp: “...we obtained and filed the proper papers, which again, she DID know about.”
Naomi states: “This is untrue. I knew nothing of any papers filed until I received the letter from Kasey informing me that he had acquired the Sego name through an LLC, and demanded that I stop using the Sego name, or I would be found guilty of copyright infringement. The letter was not mailed, but found tucked in the back door of my home.”

Kemp: “There was a letter left for Naomi's new manager, Terry Dorsey, stating we had filed for the name as he was trying to relieve us from a weekend we had promised Naomi we would do. This weekend was to fulfill our commitment to her and end our five week notice. Terry did remove us from the weekend so he and former baritone, Scott Spangler, could sing with her in our place.”
Naomi states: “The letter was left at my back door. I retrieved the letter, which was addressed on the envelope to Naomi Sego Reader. Terry Dorsey did not remove anyone. I did. It was solely my decision.”

Kemp: “Again, this letter stating the ownership was given to Terry in hopes we could fulfill our last weekend with Naomi.”
Naomi states: “The letter was tucked in my back door, and addressed to me as Naomi Sego Reader.”

Kemp: “I spoke with Naomi's Son, Carlton Sego, several days ago to inform him of this entire matter and he is perfectly fine with the situation. He understands our original intent, and why we left the note.”
Naomi states: "To say that my son Carlton is 'perfectly fine' with the situation is not entirely true."

In addition, Naomi states that, contrary to what is being told, “While there has been financial stress at times, there has never been a week go by that those boys didn’t get paid while working for me. To say otherwise is completely untrue.”

According to Chistian Voice Magazine, the above statements have been published by CVM with permission from Naomi Sego. CVM honored Naomi’s wishes to publish her statements as approved by her and, at Naomi’s request, they will refrain from issuing further reports or comments regarding this matter until such statement is issued.
