It probably wouldn’t be a stretch to predict what Shelley Lubben’s reaction would be to the many exposes of her Pink Cross Foundation activities that went down this week…and in particular to the video interview featuring “Madelyne” (the former porn star Michelle Avanti) done by Michael Whiteacre that was released on Thursday, which raised some damaging questions about how Lubben was enabling rather than preventing drug addiction.
And on Friday, Shelley lived up to her reputation. And then some. And then…some more.
First, she used her PCF blog to attempt to strike back against “Madelyne” with an official statement, in which she attempted to portray Madelyne as a wild-eyed drug addict/alcoholic and chronic criminal who only got the treatment she needed through the loving care of the PCF, and who is only speaking out now due to anger and spite for resisting the benelovent care and financial help she received from Pink Cross.
The statement, which also contained a PCF video documenting a supposedly happy and content “Madelyne”/”Michelle Avanti” gushing about how Shelley Lubben and Pink Cross saved her life from the evil pornographers, was also forwarded to Cindi Loftus’ Luke Is Back blog, which was posted here…and needless to say, it brought out a furious reaction from plenty of people….including this from Madelyne herself (“Maddy1″):
Okay well didn’t I already blog about my past arrest and DUI? To Shelley your brother Chris **** emailed me today and I definately will forward this to Cindy! I have already made my court dates public on this site! You are still a LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will challenge you to all your lies and don’t worry more to come!

Keep in mind that Madelyne is now in rehab at an accredited recovery facility.
That comment section also contained this from another former patient/worker at Pink Cross, identified as “AprilG”, who reinforced and verified some of Maddy’s charges and statements:
As a former employee of the Pink Cross Foundation, and someone who has known Maddie for a long time, I just want to say that I completely support Maddie, and the things that she said in this video.
Maddie does not deny that she has an alcohol problem, and it is apparent that she is taking the steps necessary to overcome her addiction.
As far as the claims made in her video, while I cannot attest to what happened in the Recovery Home, I will say that I was there on the 4th of July, was witness to what happened, and can confirm that she is being truthful. Maddie WAS passed out in the bedroom, and people were drinking in that home.
I guess what really disturbs me the most about this response is, aside from all of the dirt that is being brought out about Maddie, how many times it appears that the Pink Cross bailed her out, even though it was apparent that she had problems. I know that Pink Cross did bail her out on many occasions, even covering for her with CPS, according to this statement.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that, when you keep bailing out a person time after time, that person will continue in his/her reckless behaviour. It’s called enabling. No wonder Maddie never got help for her problem — not when she had Pink Cross to run to every time.
I am here to do nothing more but lend my support to Maddie. I am not here to bash Shelley, Pink Cross, or to take sides, but I can attest to the fact that Maddie is being honest, and she deserves to be heard, and deserves a chance at a future for her and her daughter. October 6th, 2011 at 8:30 p
And then, there is the matter of Lubben’s family reacting to her shenanigans..in particular, her younger brother, who responded to a desperate plea by Shelley to her mother that she was being “stalked” by a “dangerous pornographer” who even “threatened her life” (I would assume this to be Michael Whiteacre, who has been dogging her for the past year or so with facts and revelations). The email was also forwarded to Julie Meadows, who was given permission to publish it at her blog; she has reciprocated to forward it here.
Shelley,
It’s my understanding you contacted mom yesterday through email to warn her of a ‘dangerous’ pornographer who is ‘stalking’ you? It’s also my understanding you are claiming he threatened your life? Do you have any documented proof to substantiate your claims – dangerous, stalking, threatening life? If so, please forward it to me so I can see it for myself.
I need to correct you on a few things.
1) I didn’t fall for anything. 2) Michael Whiteacre didn’t contact me. 3) I contacted him. 4) I do not have a partnership with him, support pornography, did not sign a contract, receive payment or been given any special gifts or incentives. 5) My intent is to provide factual information of your past, our parents and my experience as your brother. This is information you have almost entirely left out of your book, tv interviews and Internet documentation. 6) I have made it very clear to Michael that I do not support pornography but I do support the truth being made public since so much untruth has been spread by you.
You are using a Christian platform to spread lies about our parents and your past so it seemed only fitting for me to use a secular one to spread the truth.
I want you to know that I am not ‘mad’ at you, I am furious with you. I’m not the one ‘dragging’ our whole family into the public spotlight. You have done an excellent job of that yourself. I have spoken many times to this man over the phone and he is not a psychopath. If anything he works with porn but he is coherent and concise in all of the information he gives; I cannot say the same about you. I have seen numerous videos of you on youtube where you are incoherent and belligerent. It is very reminiscent of the way you were 20 years ago.
I’m sorry Shelley but I don’t believe a word that comes out of your mouth. This is not because I’m being influenced by a ‘psychotic pornographer’. I have known you my entire life and you are a master manipulator. You once said I was ‘secretly jealous of you’—you don’t know how wrong you are. I feel sorry for you and hope one day you get the help you so desperately need.
Sound like a very reasonable and compassionate plea for Shelley to back down, right??
For most normal people, that would be enough.
For a woman who believes herself as the Porn Messiah and “Shelley d’Arc,” however, it illicits responses like the following. Joe McCarthy and Glenn Beck would kill to have this perfect mix of myopia and unglued paranoia Lubben spits into this email. This one was actually sent on Wednesday, October 5th (forwarded by Mike Whiteacre as well to Julie Meadows’ blog and to LiB as a comment here and here).
If you want to partner with a pornographer and subject your family to demonic influence and dangerous people who commit crimes against women and children then so be it. You have no clue what you have become involved in. Michael Whiteacre works with Free Speech Coalition which they are tied to child and teen pornography as well as pornography that depicts teens and children. They are extremely involved in fighting laws that protect children as you can read about here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashcroft_v._Free_Speech_Coalition .
[A]ttached is information on … Diane Duke who is a lesbian and pro-abortion and the president of Free Speech Coalition. She ran Planned Parenthood for years and murdered babies. She currently fights against protection of children on the internet as well as fights AGAINST child pornography laws so that way the adult industry can sell porn with teens and depiction of children. It’s the hottest genre right now. You can easily search on google for teen porn and it will blow your mind how much you will find. It’s ALL directly connected to Free Speech Coalition who is the trade association that protects the entire adult industry led by Diane Duke with the help of Michael Whiteacre.
If you want to side with a pornographer tied to child pornography and the depiction of teen and child sex and the abuse of women and an organization that promotes abortion then you have chosen to associate yourselves with murderers, rapists and pedophiles. You should at least take time to know who you are consorting with. And you should have compassion for your sister who has been subjected to horrible amounts of evil in order to help rescue women and children from pornography, child pornography and sex trafficking. These women and children are somebody’s daughter. God forbid if it was ever your daughter. I guarantee the Free Speech Coalition and Michael Whiteacre could care less about protecting your daughter. Quite the contrary, they would gladly welcome your daughter into the porn industry if given the chance.
Whereas I risk my life to protect children.
You may not agree with my testimony of growing up and our parents but you are choosing to support murderers and pornographers and trust information from criminals. You are consorting with criminals. With the worst kind of criminals!
I hope you will really take the time to at least read the truth about the porn industry and it’s extreme connection to child pornography.
http://66.210.33.157/mim/images/pdf/ASACP_article_Mar09.pdf
http://www.teensforcash.com/home/ – This is one of the porn companies Free Speech represents.
http://www.cduniverse.com/browsecat.asp?404;http://www.cduniverse.com:80/search/xx/ice/category2/15082/a/Devil’s+Films’+Teen+Tryouts:+Audition+Series.htm&style=ice&cart=1244519674 – Teen porn by Devil’s Films which is another porn company that FREE SPEECH COALITION represents.
And the list goes on and on.
I work very closely with the most powerful anti-porn organizations and they all support me and believe in me and even have compassion for me that I am fighting such a vicious fight on the front lines. Pink Cross is the only organization of former porn actresses who reach out to women trapped in porn as well as fights pornography. It takes extreme courage and endurance to do what we do. I’ve worked with the FBI and the Obscenity Task Force and sex trafficking organizations across the country. I’ve testified in congress, California state capitol and stood up against a billion dollar industry who is trying to take me and my WHOLE family out because of it.
And then there’s my brother partnering with criminals who promote teen sex, child pornography and pornography. Geez. I hope you are smarter than that.
Uh-huh.
So…if we are to believe the Ministeress, Michael Whiteacre is nothing more than the paid agent of the “demonic” and “Satanic” Free Speech Coalition, who is using their millions of blood (and spooge??) stained profits to defend their pedophilia and “teen sex” trafficking profits against the ONLY person and organization mandated and endowed (well endowed?? So that explains why Shelley kept her fake boobjob??) by GOD Himself to fight to save the impressionable youth and children from The Devil’s awful fiendish sex grip. Oh, and Diane Duke is a mass murderer of preborn babies because she used to lawyer for Planned Parenthood before she joined the FSC; Pink Visual’s sponsorship of FSC along with their making “teen sex” videos convicts them, in Lubben’s mind, as kiddie porn criminals (although thanks to the 2257 regs, the proof that the models/performers featured in said videos are of legal age can be easily verified, and not just through googling); and FSC’s involvement with a group like ASCAP, which is specifically designed to cooperate with authorities on weeding out not only active child pornography, but also discourage accidential underage viewing of adult sexual media, is tantimount to supporting and even making child porn. Heck, Lubben even goes so far as to cite the FSC’s successful efforts to roll back the more repressive aspects of the Child Online Protection Act (COPA) by the US Supreme Court as bonafide proof of how they are in league with the pedophiles…as if the majority opinion of that court had nothing at all to do with that decision.
And…there is Shelley so deep in her Messiah complex and her Joan of Arc fantasyland that she would condemn her own brother — her own flesh and blood — for daring to question her Godly motives in protecting American women and children from the evil and pervasive smut belted out by those baby-killing lesbian pornographers and their paid shills!!! After all, she’s been before Congress and worked with the FBI and testified in Great Britian, even!! How DARE he not bow before her as God’s messenger of salvation and join with SATAN and THE ENEMIES!! Either you are with her as a brother, or you are with THEM!!! Join her or FACE GOD’S ANGRY WRATH!!!!!!
Of course, none of this mindless bullshit spewing from Shelley’s piehole is anywhere close to actual reality…but when you are running your own personal minicult off the taxpayers’ dime (remember, folks..the PCF is a verified tax exempt organization and Shelley has a history of spending her funds lavishly on such worthy endeavors as makeup, purses, and compact kits, so what’s a few thousand dollars for personal rehab or self-medication with dangerous anti-psychotic drugs and alcohol??), perception and reality can become quite confused. Especially when you surround yourself with only yes men (and women) whose only purpose is to fluff you with cries and screams of “Hallelujah!!!” and “Praise be Jesus!!” and not really think about what you are actually doing to yourself and others.
Then again, Shelley’s consistency with actually living the Word of God rather than using it as her own personal crutch and club to continue her Attention Whore efforts from when she was an actual whore (in the sex-positive sense, of course), has never been a staple of her being…as that still fresh signature of Ron Jeremy upon her tits or those grinding…errrrrr, dancing moves she showed off at that fund-raising event, or her behavior at Cambridge attests plainly.
Something tells me that this is not going to end well…especially not for Shelley Lubben and her associates.
UPDATE (10/8/11): Michael Whiteacre has now posted that Shelley Lubben has continued to privately and publically harrass Madelyne in spite of the latter’s warnings to seek legal action via a restraining order; therefore, he plans later today (Saturday) to release more, and far more damaging, information on the Ministeress and her “ministry”.
As the saying goes: “Things are about to get real.”
Also, Michael’s original letter to Lubben challenging her to come clean was posted over at Luke Is Back; it can be seen here. A further comment verifying that Madelyne is now in full legitimate rehab can be found here.
