Why shouldn't she have been concerned? A guy with that kind of resume, she had the right to say no and back out. Her mistake, she took it to social media. RIP

She did have that right. Concerned or not, isn't the issue here and I don't want to get into that discourse. You can find it elsewhere.

Well she said some pretty horrible things also, so it wasn't all one-way or bullying from what I was watching. That doesn't make it right or wrong, but when people are attacked with vitriol then often they would respond the same way and I think everyone here as probably been guilty of that. There was no need for her to make her statement which didn't read well.

Regardless of what she said, it gives NO ONE the right to bully her to this degree. I really hope those who are scrambling to delete their tweets (ironic isn't it? People are tough when it means no harm to them until...) are quite fucking happy.

Agreed but it's human nature and if you're going to attack someone, then you're going to attack back. The real irony is that those who were interacting with her, are now getting 'bullied'. So everyone loses.

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.

Wow, in an industry that will simply say it's a person's choice if they want to do interracial actually got outraged on this, is so weird. Sorry for her and her family and friends, but I am sure the pressure was more than just social media.

Only on social media. The high majority would say absolutely NOTHING if face to face with that person. That's the cowardly cruel world we live in. Again, I still won't defend those bullies in any way, regardless of the supposed 'attack'.

And August even apologized for the tweet and that only made people bully her more. So, tell me once again, if you're going to attack someone, then you're going to attack back. No, you're going to attack simply because it makes you feel better about yourself regardless of how shitty it makes others feel.

Then you're being disingenuous and choosing one 'bully' over another. This isn't about defending people, you're adding to the situation.
Social media is an issue, and I think the industry needs to take itself away from being so open in front of those who are not in the industry and have more face-to-face attacks.

How am I choosing one bully over another? Someone states an opinion and they're a bully to a genre of the industry? But, if it was an opinion you supported you'd call it freedom of speech!

At the end of the day, the blood is on the bullies hands. How you can see if differently blows my mind.

"Ames posted on Twitter over the weekend that she would not be working with a man “who has shot gay porn,” adding, “I do my homework for my body.” The tweet drew a lot of attention from people calling her homophobic, an accusation she denied. Monday she tweeted that none of her intentions were malicious and she was simply looking out for her own health."

Oh yes, such an attack that deserves being bullied to death. Ridiculous!!

I assume you didn't see the ongoing things that were said on both sides. I not going to keep this up - as that's not the point I've wanted to make in this thread. You've said your piece.
