Hey, Thanks for the tip!! We got you Lady Tattleshire….
There’s something poetic—almost artistic—about a man publicly declaring war on “stupid people”… and then immediately volunteering himself as Exhibit A.
Meet Derek Allen Roberts. February birthday. “Heart like a lion.” “Doesn’t sugarcoat his words.” Keeps it real. The kind of guy who looks you dead in the eye—through a Facebook post—and lets you know exactly what’s wrong with the world.
Turns out, it might be his rearview mirror.
According to booking information, Roberts was picked up early April 19th on charges including DUI (.08 or greater), leaving the scene of a non-injury accident with over $1,000 in damage, and inattentive driving. Bond set at $2,500.
Let’s break that down in plain English:
He allegedly got drunk, crashed his vehicle, and then tried the bold legal strategy of “what accident?”
And this is the same guy calling other people stupid.
You almost have to respect the commitment to irony. Not everyone can post a manifesto about courage, truth, and strength—and then follow it up with a hit-and-run DUI like it’s a sequel nobody asked for.
But here’s where it really gets rich.
This isn’t just your average Facebook philosopher. No, Roberts wrapped himself in the full cultural starter pack—loud opinions, strong stances, and just enough self-righteousness to make you think he’s got it all figured out. The kind of guy who says he “keeps it real,” right up until reality shows up with flashing lights and a breathalyzer.
Suddenly, “no time for hypocrites” hits a little different when you’re explaining why you left the scene of your own crash.
And that “heart like a lion”?
Apparently it runs… from accountability.
Look, everyone makes mistakes. That’s human. But not everyone builds a public persona around calling other people idiots and then immediately trips over their own ego at 2:10 in the morning.
That’s not just a mistake—that’s performance art.
So here we are. Derek Roberts, motivational speaker for the anti-stupid movement, now offering a live demonstration in poor decision-making:
- Drink and drive ✔️
- Crash ✔️
- Leave the scene ✔️
- Get caught anyway ✔️
If there’s a lesson here—and there is—it’s this:
The loudest guy in the room calling everyone else stupid is usually just trying to drown out the sound of his own bad decisions catching up to him.
And eventually, they always do.
Keep it real, Derek.
