Another Set Of Celebrities Recently Received Their Honorary Degrees

In March, fellow celebrity Bobby Brown and his wife, Alicia Etheredge-Brown, also received honorary degrees. As The Shade Room previously reported, the couple was given the honor by the Leaders Esteem Christian Bible University. The institution reportedly is an “accredited Christian Bible University.”

The honor was reportedly given to the Browns for their “notable philanthropic contributions” spawned through the Bobbi Kristina Serenity House. To note, Bobbi Kristina is Brown’s late daughter, whom he shares with the late singer, Whitney Houston.

According to Houston Style Magazine, the Bobbi Kristina Serenity House was reportedly created to “bring awareness to the epidemic of domestic violence against women.”

At the time, social media users’s reactions largely contrasted with the ones shared toward Pretty Vee.
