Chris explains how Rocky helps him[1]

Rocky Shoemaker with Chris in
2018, during a meeting the
Guard Dogs had arranged.
The Rev. Rochelle "Rocky" Shoemaker is a retired pastoral counselor (actual title - "Assistant Pastor for Care Ministries") from the Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church, who has advised Chris on several matters since 2008.
According to Chris, Rocky was in her 40s during 2010, and has a son that works for Rockstar Games[2].
On 11 September 2008, after nudes of his were leaked to the internet by a troll who deceived him, Chris sent to his Reverend Elizabeth Foss an email in which he told her about his foolish acts and asked her to forgive him. Five days later, Elizabeth replied and referred Chris to the church's new pastoral counselor, Rocky Shoemaker,[3] beginning her role in Chris's life.
In the BlueSpike Skype Logs 6, Chris mentioned that he asked Rocky to help him find volenteer work that would pay him, and also wouldn't cause him to lose his Social Security.
Rocky recommended to Chris the children's book How to Talk to Girls after he asked for help on the Love Quest.[4]
In March 2009, Rocky started interacting with Chris more. She encouraged him to leave the internet and stop making videos, leading to the video YouTube Finale[5]. According to Ivy, she was "a troll herself", not trying to help Chris as much as wanting to go after trolls and troll them back[5].
When Joshua Martinez, a.k.a. Vanessa Hudgens, who tried to swindle some money out of Chris by trading him a PSP. After that, Shoemaker made Bob Chandler and Barb contact the cops. The agreement was that the cops would only be involved in the Joshua matters, as they were dealing with the trolls on their own terms. However, Rocky blindsided Bob and Barb and brought up Ivy and the trolls with the cops. She even had them try to find Ivy and even managed to get a background check on her and came up with nothing.[5]
In a July 2009 IRC Chat, Chris, believing that he had entered the chat incognito (although the trolls had in fact instantly seen through his false identity), suggested that the trolls force him to rape Rocky. Rocky herself is aware that Chris said this. The fact that she did not kick him out of the church on the spot speaks volumes about her patience.
According to Chris, it was Rocky and her husband who bailed the Chandlers out of jail following the events of 28 October 2011 [6]. Rocky also helped put the Chandlers in touch with their defense attorney, Mr. Rob Bell, a fellow Methodist.
In December 2011, a troll posing as court-appointed psychiatrist "Dr. Perron" called Rocky asking for information on Chris. While she initially was skeptical, repeatedly saying that she wanted authorization from the court, she eventually became convinced and gave new information about Chris. This included the supposed infestation problem in Chris's house, that played a part in Bob's death.
In 2018, during the aftermath of the Idea Guys saga, the Guard Dogs advised Chris to talk to Rocky about the situation, hoping it would help expedite an official investigation into the alleged extortion by the Idea Guys. However, upon talking to Chris, Rocky advised him to seek therapy in lieu of escorting him to the police to file a report.[7]
Rocky retired from the church in summer 2018.[8]
