August Ames

[Ben in LA]

She made a controversial tweet a couple of days ago. She got bullied and chastised because of it. Apparently the pressure got to her and she committed suicide.

Discuss?

Wow. RIP, August. I saw she was getting dragged on twitter pretty bad.

In light of what's been going on here lately, if I may be so bold, what was the subject (not the details) of her tweet?

[SanDiegoPervySage]

She backed out of a scene with a crossover performer and tweeted out that the company had hired a crossover performer. She didn't mention his name. However, tons of people, including performers, gay and GG in straight porn were going in on her about discrimination and whatnot.

I am sorry, but what is a crossover performer? I never heard that before.

Male performers who do gay(as well as trans) porn then work on the straight side.

She should have told them to F*** off.

In a risky business such as porn everyone should decide how much risk they are willing to expose themselves to, and not apologize that they have limits.

I know that female porn stars are not known for their ego integrity, but it is such a joke to treat anything on Twitter seriously (let alone kill yourself over it).

Her last tweet was "fuck y'all".

She appears to have had a history of depression.

I had a funny feeling it was going to be something like that, where she said something "offensive" and as usual with a majority of people on Twitter they overreacted. Like I said another thread, being on the receiving end of social media mob justice is a dangerous thing.

RIP August.

if you've been on HA for a while and read a few threads you've actually seen replies from a few individuals who are crossover performers; basically a person who does one type of porn and then goes to do another type
