I've seen a few bits of this story.  It's pretty damn sad what the mob did to her.  Everyone is all about "Respect your personal boundaries, etc" but as soon as she tried to, the mob decided it wasn't allowed since it was against a protected group.  Then one of them told her to take cyanide and die.  

Identity politics of all types is one of the most evil things in the world today.  I interact someone they start off as an individual with all the wonderful unique traits an individual has.  As soon as they start identifying as a member of a group rather than a person, they lose all distinctiveness to me, I simply treat them as a member of a group and not a person anymore.  That's the choice they make.  Because identity politics is what killed this person.  Kills people every damn day.

   First of all, when you used  the word "mob," you are enhancing the stereotype that a criminal element such as the Mafia was involved. Not the case ( but I sure got a lot of people asking )

Second, on August Ames twitter.she stated that she refused to work with what the industry calls a "crossover." That is a porn actor that performs in gay as well heterosexual  adult videos. She turned the scene down,especially as it called for unprotected sex. Granted all talent is tested monthly, but it was simply something she felt uncomfortable to do. Her call and in my humble opinion ...a good one.

Sadly, the "mob" that you actually referred to was a group of her peers in the industry. They called her "homophobic " and much much worse. Again,in my humble opinion...a HUGE mistake on their part. 

I'll be at the AVNs in January,should be interesting.

To answer another question, Yes i met her once,but only for a few minutes at a industry event. She was drop dead gorgeous,very personable and did not come across at all as being jaded .

The case is still being investigated.

Mob has more than one meaning, she was relentlessly bullied by a mob of assholes.

Lucy got my definition of mob correct.  I'm from Jersey.  If I meant the Mafia, it'd be "The Mob" not the mob...

I meant the bands of ... well, I can't think of a word bad enough.  Subhumans?  The ones that go around attacking people for wrong-think.

There was another lady recently on Twitter who said something and got bashed big time for her racist tweet.  Obviously not the same as the folks who attacked August, but still the same bully mentality.  Even when 'we' think someone has it all together, 'we' never know the inner demons they may be dealing with.  #RIP August!

Correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation. Articles clearly state that she suffered from depression. That said, it's tragic. 

But:

1) She posted something dumb ass on twitter. This should have been handled internally. Maybe Dm'ing the girls, talking to the agents instead of just blasting it out there. 

2) The porn industry needs to start using condoms for every form of azz in pussy, ass in ass. I regularly watch French porn. There's always a condom, and it doesn't diminish my viewing experience a bit. 

3) Is there more than anecdotal evidence that having unprotected sex with a cross-over actor significantly increases your risk of contracting STDs. If there is, I'd like to see this data. 

4) I suppose all the actresses who were blasted by Peter North's cum cannon are now gonna start #metoo hashtags?;)

5) Porn "stars" need social media managers before they run their mouths off on twitter. I mean, what do you expect: you do porn, you constantly flog your website and your cam site.....and you starred in "I need some black in my crack" and "Help, my azz is on fire!!!":wub:

That's bound to attract degenerates and low lives.

I know that it has more than one meaning.If you would please reread my post it was made clear that I've had people ask privately if she was killed by the Mafia.

What is truly sick is that most of those that bullied her on her twitter feed ,acted like they were her best friend as recently as the Halloween Party I attended in LA this year.

Kettle meet black. And now we can't use the word mob. Great.

Naw, you just need a qualifying adjective. Something like 'lynch' should do the trick. Capitalization indicating a proper noun, The *ob vs. the *afia, just isn't enough for some. 

😁😜😏😕😵😄😆😝😁😜😡😁😙

 

 

Just to be clear, the "some" in this case are those calling about Mafia involvement, but not JR for fielding the calls.

   The data can be easily obtained.   The "lowlifes " were her peers,not her fans. Do agree that the situation should have been handled internally  between her,agent and studio.  Bottom line...her body...her choice.

  I was actually very surprised that so many thought mob meant Mafia.

Tragic poor young lady! Maybe not enough time to reflect on her direction she wished to take? And then people and the media heckling her like crazy. Nobody taking into account that she is a young human just figuring out life. Makes me cry. Where was her friends/family and care takers? We all need love and tenderness. These stories are all over the media. Very sad! Cain with Master PO in Kung Fu talks quite a bit about "self will" and about how our eyes see something different from each other. Our own individual eyes only see what we wish to see and inturpret information differently.  No real answer is correct. Poor young soul is all we should focus on and shame on those who pass judgement.

Why We Shouldn't Judge Another's Reality or Choices.

 

 

Beautifully said! We never truly know what other people are feeling, seeing, experiencing, and while we may not understand, we can all take from this and learn, grow,  and love more. We all have demons, some darker than others. Don't be the one that darkens another's path because of your opinion...be the voice of light and love. 

Be at peace August, and this goes for others that have taken their lives as well. 

xoxo,

Samantha Sheppard

      The cyber bullying was so uncalled for. How many of you would perform without a condom ??  As for his being a crossover, considering where the majority of positive test results come from them, who can blame her for turning it down ??

I don't get it. She was outrageously beautiful and I assume she didnt need to worry about money.

So why give a shit what others say or think?

 

That's not how mental health works. We don't know her mental health history, genetics,  or if she had gone through some serious trauma  I hope she's at peace now. 

I had a roommate by all means seemed to have his life together. He was a smart engineer, had plenty of friends and money. Out of nowhere he jumped off a bridge. Turns out depression and sucide ran in his family. His father had committed suicide.

That poor girl (August) hung herself from a tree in a public park! Terribly sad to think how tormented she must have been.  Cruel world we live in...

     Wonder if PAW (Protecting Adult Welfare ) would have helped her . Sadly it went under when its founder,Bill Margold, died while doing his radio show earlier this year.  FSC is pretty much worthless,AIM is long gone. Really no place for the performers to turn to anymore.
