Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic Robert Lee IV Quits Job As Pastor After VMAs Speech A Pastor who spoke out against white supremacy at the 2017 VMAs recently left his church. Robert Lee IV, the great-great-great-great-nephew of Army General Robert E. Lee denounced his ancestor during the VMAs as “an idol of white supremacy, racism, and hate.” He said as much while standing beside Susan Bro, the mother of Heather Heyer who was mowed down by a white supremacist in Charlottesville. “As a pastor, it is my moral duty to speak out against racism, America’s original sin,” said Lee. “Today, I call on all of us with privilege and power to answer God’s call to confront racism and white supremacy head-on. We can find inspiration in the Black Lives Matter movement, the women who marched in the Women’s March in January, and, especially, Heather Heyer, who died fighting for her beliefs.” Now he’s quit his job as the Pastor of Bethany United Church of Christ in Winston-Salem, N.C. amid controversy for his comments. An official statement from the pastor published on the Auburn Theological Seminary reads; “My presence at the church as a descendent of Robert E. Lee and an outspoken opponent of White Supremacy had already attracted attention, but with my appearance on MTV the media’s focus on my church reached an all time high. A faction of church members were concerned about my speech and that I lifted up Black Lives Matter movement, the Women’ s March, and Heather Heyer as examples of racial justice work. I want to stress that there were many in the congregation who supported my right to free speech, yet were uncomfortable with the attention the church was receiving. The church’s reaction was deeply hurtful to me. I want it to be clear that I feel a deep love for this congregation, and gratitude that they were willing to hire me as my first church out of seminary. I believe with all my heart that God did good work in my life there. That being said, when the church wanted to vote on my tenure, I tendered my resignation in which I told the congregation: Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images “I regret that speaking out has caused concern and pain to my church. For this is I offer my heartfelt apology. I understand that my views could be considered to be controversial. I never sought this sort of attention. But, I do believe in God’s role in calling out for positive social change for the good of all.We are all called by God to speak out against hate and evil in all its many forms. There are so many good things going on with this congregation and I do not want my fight to detract from the mission. If the recent media attention causes concern with my church, I reluctantly offer my resignation.” SMH at the church basically forcing him to resign for *gasp* speaking out against racism. We applaud you Mr. Lee, God speed.
Teen Mom 2 stars Brooke Wehr and Jeremy Calvert, also known as the ex-husband of Leah Messer, are officially back together. If you weren’t convinced of the truth of this rumor before, she’s cleared it up for you now … with a nice photo of Jeremy Calvert nude. Wehr posted a photo of Calvert’s naked back in bed, not so subtly confirming earlier reports that they have rekindled their relationship. She captioned it, “Sleepy head #vegas #naptime #lazyass.” What happens in Las Vegas doesn’t stay there, evidently. In addition to making her point that Brooke Wehr and Jeremy Calvert are back together , she also revealed a celebrity run-in. The Teen Mom 2 tandem ran into another reality star duo, Vanderpump Rules’ Jax Taylor and Tom Schwartz, while in Vegas. “@mrjaxtaylor and @twschwa are the best” she wrote , apparently never having watched Vanderpump Rules and seen Jax in action. “Glad I got to meet you guys.” Fortunately, she did not post any photos of Jax nude, though you have to imagine someone else will by the end of the weekend. Sorry, Brittany. In any case, Brooke Wehr has been virtually MIA from Teen Mom 2 this season as her romance with Calvert imploded early on. She was engaged to Calvert as of earlier this year, and has famously come between Jeremy and his reality star ex-wife, Leah. That’s not to imply that Jeremy cheated on Brooke with Leah, a popular rumor that circulated around the Internet. Not the case. However, his physical absence from West Virginia – Brooke lives in Ohio with her own daughter – has caused issues with Leah. That’s very reasonable, as Messer felt quasi-abandoned and like a single mother of the couple’s daughter, Adalynn, at times. If you watch Teen Mom 2 online , you may recall a scene in which Leah lamented that she has Addie and Jeremy has Brooke . You may also recall a more recent scene in which Jeremy threw Brooke under the bus as a controlling, borderline abusive monster. Just kidding, he later said. While Calvert went OFF on Wehr on Instagram in May and portrayed her as a psycho on the MTV reality show, that’s his bad, he says. He famously claimed that he “came home to all my s–t being everywhere” one day because Brooke went through his phone and “lost her s–t.” The alleged reason? That he talked to Leah about their little girl enrolling in preschool, but a jealous Wehr flipped the f–k out on him. “The episode you saw,” he would later confess, “Brooke came off as crazy, which she isn’t at all. It was all my fault during that time.” “The reason we broke up wasn’t because of me and Leah talking about Addie’s preschool stuff. It was me talking to a different girl. Period.” In response to rumors of Leah and Jeremy getting back together, Brooke recently said on Instagram, “He’s not back with Leah.” “We are back together, have been for a few months now. I just never posted about it until now,” she added, fearing the obvious backlash. Looks like those fears are in the rear view mirror now, and she’s taking in a different kind of rear view … if you know what we mean. View Slideshow: Brooke Wehr: Who is Jeremy Calvert’s Fiancee?
