Multiple informants report that Shelley Lubben defender and Pink Cross promoter Sindy Sunshine has ended up in rehab after trying to kill herself.
Why in the world would ANYONE entrust individuals with deep emotional and psychological problems to a con artist like Shelley Lubben whose only “degrees” come from unaccredited Bible colleges?
The irony, of course, is that Lubben holds herself out as someone who can SAVE the lost souls in the porn business, get them away from their “destructive lifestyle”, and keep them from “ending up dead!” Lubben — who has lied about being a recovered addict — has in fact been in and out of rehab and psych wards for years.
Sindy Sunshine and her pill-popping exploiter, Shelley Lubben
Lubben first met German-born Sindy face-to-face at the disastrous February 17, 2011 Cambridge Union debate on pornography, in Great Britain.

The debate went so terribly, that Lubben had a mental breakdown, and her assistant April Garris (since defected from Pink Cross) wondered how they’d be able to get Lubben onto her flight back the the US.
Since that time, Sindy sent numerous emailed pleas to Lubben, which Pink Cross Foundation insider Michelle Avanti (who has also since defected) claims Lubben laughed off and deleted.
On Facebook, Sunshine has described herself as “DAUGHTER OF THE MOST HIGH – impacted by the wonderful and amazing Shelley Lubben who founded the PINK CROSS FOUNDATION in the USA to reach out to everyone who wants to know THE TRUTH , now brings PINK CROSS to EUROPE !!!” and calls herself a “Director at Pink Cross Deutschland”
An article posted on Lubben’s Pink Cross website a week before the Cambridge debacle, entitled Sindy Escapes Porn and Sex Work! made NO MENTION of ANY career in porn. Instead. it focused on Sindy’s description of her self-destructive past, including thoughts of suicide, and sexual promiscuity ultimately ending in prostitution.
“I am single & free from porn & masturbation & I am not having sex until I am married!’ Sindy declared.
According to messages she sent to Lubben, however, Sindy was unable to keep that vow. She sought support and guidance from Lubben — requests which, unaccompanied as they were by any financial donation to Pink Cross, did not earn Lubben’s attention.
Here’s a video of Sindy (in German).
Lubben’s record is abysmal — it’s downright criminal.
Look at what she did to performer Michelle Avanti:
As well as performer Savannah Jane:
Despite her promotion of a vile woman who hurts the vulnerable, we wish Sindy all the best in her recovery, and hope that she will come to see that Lubben has only made her problems worse. Please seek real treatment from trained professionals, Sindy. You’re worth it.

What I want to know is why the IRS hasn’t gotten around to auditing Ms. Lubben’s returns. She’s not only a menace, she’s a scam artist. A homeless person can go to jail for stealing a slice of pizza and this woman continues to live a life of luxury at the expense of both those she claims to help and those who pay extra taxes because she gets to keep all her money. She’s dangerous, as we can clearly see from this story, and utterly corrupt as we’ve seen demonstrated over and over and yet she remains untouchable to all… Read more »
“A homeless person can go to jail for stealing a slice of pizza and this woman continues to live a life of luxury at the expense of both those she claims to help and those who pay extra taxes because she gets to keep all her money.”
Isn’t that the American way?
You need to put quotes around “success” in the title.
I’m not going to attack Shelley. I will say this – when I formed our program Sex Workers Anonymous back in 1987 people came in to us asking for help. I couldn’t just hug them and say “it’s all going to be better” and call that help. I needed to have answers if I was going to put our phone number up and ask people to “call for help”. I only had my own personal recovery in that I had achieved two years clean and out of the sex industry. However, how I did this is not a “formula” for… Read more »
Lubben has no program, because she has no legitimate credentials — just diploma mill degrees and a “masters” AND a “doctorate” obtained in about a year from a local bible college. She also does not believe in 12-step programs and the like — she claims they were too much work for her. She admits she dropped out of the program many years ago. She simply underwent an alleged spiritual “rebirth” at a church and ministry training facility called the Champions Centre in Tacoma, WA. Shelley also brags about how she was miraculously cured of all her weaknesses and ailments by… Read more »
