Parent Of Cyberbullied Porn Star August Ames Has Spoken Out

Mum talks about the August Ames last days! Parent of cyberbullied porn star August Ames has spoken out about her final days. Hilary Rivera was as proud as any other mother would be of her daughter Mercedes Grabowski, as she left her native Nova Scotia, Canada, with the hopes of finding stardom in Los Angeles. And within months of landing in Hollywood, the ‘free spirit,’ as Rivera describes her eldest daughter, managed to make a new name for herself. MEET AUGUST AMES Unlike some parents whose children enter the adult entertainment industry, Rivera was fully supportive of Ames’ career. She became her biggest cheerleader and always eager to gossip about her bumping into Kim Kardashian in a bathroom or chat about attending a party held at Charlie Sheen’s house. Really, the mother of four’s only qualm was the nearly 6,000-mile distance Ames’ new career put between the pair. DISTANCE WAS THE WORST ‘I wanted the best for her – I wanted her to fulfil her dreams, and I wanted her to be happy,’ Rivera told the Daily Beast, following the release of her new book ‘Porn Star Mom: My Life with August Ames.’ She continued: ‘I was thrilled for her that she was getting these opportunities to meet famous people and to live in a beautiful community and to be a star. ‘It was something that I had never fathomed could possibly happen to her.’ But now, nearly a decade after Ames decided to leave home, Rivera wishes she had better insight into what her eldest daughter was going through. She says she’s come to learn that Ames was deeply depressed and allegedly emotionally neglected by her husband Kevin Moore, a producer and director for the adult company Evil Angel. UNABLE TO STAND UP FOR HERSELF Rivera was also sickened to discover that Ames felt unable to stand up for herself against some of her co-stars who allegedly crossed a line during shoots. This is despite being one of the industry’s biggest rising stars, featuring in close to 300 moves over her five-year career. It specifically singled out Russian performer Markus Dupree, whom Ames accused of making her feel violated during one of her scenes. ‘She was just on cloud nine,’ Rivera recalls of Ames after her arrival in California. ‘And then over time, things happened, and she was forced into situations where she was very poorly treated – beyond poorly treated. ‘She was manhandled by her co-star, performer is replacing me tomorrow for EroticaXNews, you’re shooting with a guy who has shot gay porn, just to let cha know,’ Ames tweeted. ‘BS is all I can say. ‘Do agents really not care about who they’re representing? #ladirect I do my homework for my body?’ Almost immediately, Ames was accused of being bigoted and homophobic, with many claiming her tweet reinforced the negative stigma surrounding bisexual male performers. Specifically, concerns that they run a greater risk of passing on sexually transmitted diseases to their scene partners. Ames tried to explain that she wasn’t being homophobic, but rather exercising her right to choose who she performs with. ‘I wasn’t attacking, I was warning, because most female performers I know won’t work with crossovers,’ she claimed. INTENSE BACKLASH Still, the backlash intensified, and the hits came from all over, including from veteran performer Jessica Drake, who chastised Ames for ‘eliminating folks based on the fact they may have done crossover work,’ adding that her ‘logic is seriously flawed.’ Pansexual performer Jaxton Wheeler also chimed in, tweeting around 6am on Tuesday 5th December: ‘The world is awaiting your apology or for you to swallow a cyanide pill. ‘Either or we’ll take it.’ That same morning, Ames’ body was found. (Wheeler claims that his tweet was posted after her death). Rivera accuses Wheeler of being ‘the catalyst’ for Ames’ decision to take her life but also acknowledges that Ames was in the midst of crisis. She pointed to her strained marriage to Moore, a general lack of support from within the industry, her mental-health struggles, and finally, the social media pile-on. CHAIN OF EVENTS ‘There was a whole chain of events that culminated in her taking her life,’ she says. While Wheeler went on an apology tour of sorts after Ames’ passing, with so many pointing the finger at him for encouraging Ames to take her life, Rivera says that she has never received a direct apology from Wheeler. ‘I’ve never spoken to that man, nor do I want to,’ she says. ‘If someone’s gonna say publicly, “Why don’t you take a cyanide pill?” that type of personality isn’t the type of personality that’s going to say, “Oh, gee, I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean for your daughter to take her life.” ‘No, it doesn’t compute.’ Still, Rivera says that she’s proud of her daughter ‘even though it caused such a storm in her life.’ ‘STANDING UP FOR HERSELF’ ‘At least she was standing up for herself,’ Rivera writes. ‘I support that was the last time that she ever really put her own needs and wants above anyone else’s.’ Rivera also expressed anger towards Ames’ husband Moore, who she claims Ames only married because she needed a green card to stay working in the U.S. While Rivera says Moore, who was significantly older, was happy to have the twenty-something serve as his arm candy, he failed to provide for her with much-needed emotional support. BATTLE WITH DEPRESSION Ames had battled depression since she was a child, says Rivera. She recalls how she recognised early signs when Ames was a young girl. Only later would Ames tell her mother that she had been molested by a family member. Later in life, Ames was also diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder, something that Rivera also battles. ‘I think is just a narcissist who doesn’t feel that he has done anything wrong,’ says Rivera, claiming that he was emotionally abusive and neglected Ames. ‘Neglect is almost as bad as abuse. ‘She was left to her own devices all the time. ‘Other than the porn industry, they didn’t have anything in common. ‘Certainly, the generational gap didn’t help.’ HUBBY ADMITS HE COULD HAVE DONE ‘BETTER JOB’ Moore himself admits that he could have done a ‘better job’ of paying attention to Ames’ fragile state, telling journalist Jon Ronson in his 2019 Audible podcast ‘The Last Days of August’ that he was going through his own emotional crisis shortly before her passing due to the death of their cat Kush. ‘I withdrew from life, and I withdrew from ,’ he said. He continued: ‘I just wasn’t there. ‘I’d sit there and look at photos of Kush. ‘It’s so sad. ‘She talked to her therapist about it, that she didn’t know what to do for me. ‘I didn’t know she’d be dead six weeks later.’ MARKUS DUPREE It was around this time that Ames partook in what would turn into a traumatic shooting experience for her with Markus Dupree. Markus has a reputation in the industry for being particularly rough and crossing boundaries with his scene partners. Ronson previously spoke to the Daily Beast in 2019, recalling how he was shown the scene – which has never been released – in question: ‘You can’t shake the feeling that that’s the moment it begins,’ he said. ‘It obviously triggered in her things that she’d experienced as a child and she just looked so upset in that moment, and it’s really hard to shake that feeling. ‘I’m not going to say that’s the reason she died, but that was the beginning of the end.’ ‘FELT LIKE RAPE’ In 2019, Ames’ friend Emma Hix released a series of text messages that Ames had reportedly wrote after the scene with Dupree, describing that he was ‘way too rough’ and the scene ‘felt like rape.’ ‘Yesterday was totally unprofessional and I wanted to die,’ the text read. ‘He was dragging me around and choked me with my panties, slamming my head down on the table and was just WAY too rough and the scene didn’t even call for it. ‘Nobody on set said shit and I was literally in panic mode, so I froze and didn’t say no or stop. ‘I just wanted it to be over.’ She added in a follow up message: ‘I was looking at the sound guy with “help me” eyes and he was looking back with “I’m sorry” eyes.’ HEARTBREAKING For Rivera, it’s heartbreaking to know that her daughter had not one single advocate in that room. She wonders why there can’t be intimacy coordinators on all adult film sets in the same manner as Hollywood productions. ‘It would be common sense to have someone on set saying ,’ she says. ‘Or a director for heaven’s sakes. ‘Wouldn’t you expect the director to say “cut” if one of the cast members is in physical and visible pain?’ COMING TO TERMS It took years for Rivera to try and come to terms with what had happened, something she’s still currently struggling with. Through tears, she admits that she, in part, blames herself for Ames’ death, largely due to what one of Ames’ close friends had relayed to her. The friend had gone to visit a medium to gain some closure following Ames’ passing, holding out hope that the medium could make contact with Ames. Rivera learned from the friend that, according to the medium, Ames’ last words were ‘liquid courage’ – which made Rivera’s stomach drop. During Ames’ upbringing, Rivera admits that she battled alcohol addiction and would often repeat the exact same phrase while drinking. Hearing it repeated back to her was devastating. ‘FELT RESPONSIBLE’ ‘It made me feel responsible because those were my words,’ Rivera said. She continued: ‘I was a raging functioning alcoholic, and I didn’t know it. ‘I didn’t acknowledge it, but everyone around me knew it. ‘Certainly, my children who were teenagers at the time saw it. ‘Alcohol was such a powerful drug for me, that’s all I wanted. ‘I was exhausted at the end of the day, and I still had to put supper on the table. ‘Alcohol was a way for me to loosen up and let go. ‘Just knowing that those could have been her last thoughts, it just breaks my heart. ‘Knowing that I had that much influence over my daughter was a really hard pill to swallow for me. ‘That’s why I take so much of the blame for what she did.’ WISHES SHE COULD CHANGE There are a multitude of things Rivera wishes she could go back and change. For starters, she wishes that she could have a more honest and open conversation with Ames as a young girl about speaking up when she was uncomfortable. Rivera explains that she too was sexually assaulted while growing up as a young woman, and it took until Ames’ death to tackle these tough conversations head on. ‘She and I had very similar experiences,’ explained Rivera. She continued: ‘I wasn’t closed off from her but closed off from everything that I just didn’t know how to handle the situation. ‘I didn’t know how to talk to her about it. ‘I’m a different mother today than when I was raising my first three children – I’m raising Ursula now who is 14 and trust me, I am not the same mother.’ FURTHER SUPPORT Rivera hopes that her book will help bring about further support – mental health resources and on-set intimacy coordinators – for adult performers. She also hopes to encourage parents to have difficult conversations with their children and cherish every moment with them. ‘Parents need to know that they are such huge influences on their children,’ she said. Rivera concluded: ‘What you say to your child can’t be unsaid – or what you don’t say. ‘I know this personally… because she’s not here anymore.’ ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ CASTING DIRECT SUCCESS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN WE work work work work work work work work work ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ CASTING DIRECT ARE FIRST AND FOREMOST: Modelling Agency Advice Center Marketing Management Social Media Management Camsite Management Studio Account-Based Camsite Management Tubesite Management Fansite Management Profile Management Casting To Studios Worldwide Casting Casting For Movies - Broadcasting The World Casting For TV Webcam Model Management Female Webcam Model Management Male Webcam Model Management Transvestite Webcam Model Management Trans-sexual Webcam Model Management TIPS & STORIES Got a tip to share?

Fellow porn stars say August Ames’ death is connected to cyberbullying

BTW

Porn actress August Ames has died. The medical examiner’s office in Ventura County confirmed her death Wednesday, XBIZ reported. Ames was 23.

“She was the kindest person I ever knew and she meant the world to me,” Ames’ husband Kevin Moore said in a statement. “Please leave this as a private family matter in this difficult time.”

The cause of death has not been disclosed, according to XBIZ.

Ames’ death spurred a Twitter conversation among people in the porn industry about cyberbullying and porn actors’ rights to choose who they work with. Ames’ friends, including porn star Anikka Albrite, reportedly connected Ames’ death to a heated online debate that took place in the days before she died.

Ames tweeted on Sunday suggesting that she did not work with men who have done gay porn.

whichever (lady) performer is replacing me tomorrow for @EroticaXNews , you’re shooting with a guy who has shot gay porn, just to let cha know. BS is all I can say🤷🏽‍♀️ Do agents really not care about who they’re representing? #ladirect I do my homework for my body🤓✏️🔍

— August Ames (@AugustAmesxxx) December 3, 2017

Ames immediately received backlash and was called homophobic. But she argued she made the choice not to film with men who have shot gay porn because of health and safety concerns.

NOT homophobic. Most girls don’t shoot with guys who have shot gay porn, for safety. That’s just how it is with me. I’m not putting my body at risk, i don’t know what they do in their private lives. https://t.co/MRKt2GrAU4

— August Ames (@AugustAmesxxx) December 3, 2017

I think it’s hilarious that your discriminating against a man who does/did gay porn when half of this industry has performed with such performers. ALLLLLLL performers must subject to the SAME testing in order to work.

— Alexis Monroe (@AlexisMonroexxx) December 4, 2017

do they not following the same procedures for safety as in straight porn such as HIV testing? Just sounds homophobic

The actress defended herself, saying she could choose who she wanted to work with and that she was not homophobic since she was attracted to women.

Following her death, friends of Ames and others indicated she was suffering from depression and dealing with online bullying.

My heart is broken for my industry sister. People are cruel and depression is a bitch. Please be good to each other. #RIPAugust https://t.co/eX2z2ip9EL

Porn actress August Ames apparently killed herself because she stated she wouldn't want to do scenes with men who've done gay porn scenes, so she got bullied online, lost her potential gigs, and killed herself.

Mathilde Ceilles Publié le 01.02.2017 à 18:50 Mis à jour le 01.02.2017 à 18:50 Voilà une décision qui va faire jaser certains. Le 12 janvier dernier, laDirection départementale des territoires et de la mer des Bouches du Rhône a pris un arrêté préfectoral autorisant l’euthanasie des goélands sous certaines conditions. >> A lire aussi : Comment reconnaître un goéland d'une mouette? Plus précisément, le goéland leucophée est dans le viseur de cet arrêté. L’animal se voit reprocher « la fréquence et l’intensité des nuisances matérielles, sonores, olfactives, et d’ordre sanitaire », sans oublier le « sans-gêne » et la « détermination » dont il ferait preuve dans sa quête de nourriture.

Un vaporisateur pour détruire l’œuf Grâce à ce texte, les agents de la Métropole ont également l’autorisation de détruire les œufs, à l’aide d’un produit qui, une fois vaporisé, bouche les pores de la coquille et stoppe le développement de l’embryon. Le tout suivant un quota de « 500 spécimens maximum » sur quatre ans, précise l’arrêté préfectoral. >> A lire aussi : La prolifération des goélands leucophée dans la ville pose problème Déjà en vigueur l’année dernière, cet arrêté a été renouvelé sur demande de la municipalité. Une obligation compte tenu du fait que l’espèce est protégée. Par cette décision, la ville de Marseille entend répondre aux 270 plaintes sur le sujet récoltées via le service d’accueil Allo Mairie. Nuisances sonores et fientes nocives « Nous avions l’année dernière une centaine de plaintes, pas forcément belliqueuses, mais c’est le double cette année », justifie Guillaume Jouve, conseiller municipal délégué à la mairie de Marseille, qui admet toutefois que « ce chiffre reste faible à l’échelle de la deuxième ville de France. » >> A lire aussi : VIDEO. Espagne: Un goéland vole la GoPro de deux touristes Outre « les nuisances sonores » que déplorent ses administrés dans leur majorité, l’élu pointe les « problèmes que produisent les fientes des goélands. Très agressives pour la pierre, elles abîment la toiture des édifices, sans compter leur caractère nocif sur le plan hygiénique. »

109 goélands euthanasiés en 2016 Pour Guillaume Jouve, « la mairie ne s’est pas lancée dans une campagne d’extermination » de l’oiseau, puisque sont euthanasiés seuls les animaux malades ou blessés qu’on ne peut pas soigner, après expertise d’un vétérinaire agréé. Ainsi, en 2016, sur les 24.000 goélands que compte la ville de Marseille, 109 ont été euthanasiés. >> A lire aussi : Les baleineaux de Patagonie menacés par les goélands En revanche, la stérilisation -nom donné à la destruction des œufs via un produit chimique-, est « plus facile à envisager ». Objectif : « trouver un équilibre entre la présence animale et la présence humaine dans la ville ». L’élu pointe le caractère préventif de cette mesure qui vise à éviter une « surpopulation », au même titre que l’implantation de pics pour empêcher la nidation ou encore l’effarouchement sonore. Des Marseillais divisés La mesure ne laisse pas les Marseillais indifférents. « Si c’est pour lutter contre la surpopulation, pourquoi pas, mais si c’est pour contenter certains riverains, qu’ils se mettent dans une tour loin des goélands ! », s’indigne Nathalie. Son amie Hélène ne se dit « pas particulièrement gênée par les goélands, plus par les pigeons. Tout ça pour des nantis emmerdés par le bruit ! ».

La jeune Sandrine trouve la méthode « extrême et horrible ». Et la jeune fille d’ajouter : « Je suis originaire de la Seyne-sur-Mer. Nous avons le même type de problème mais nous n’allons pas jusque-là ! OK, c’est pas cool pour les carrosseries, les microbes, les bâtiments… Mais dès lors qu’il s’agit des animaux, on croit avoir tous les droits ! »

Leftists Blame Trump For Pornstar’s Suicide after Leftists Bully Her for Not Doing Shoot with Gay Man

I understand if most readers of The Gateway Pundit and other “right wing” sites aren’t familiar with August Ames or the controversy surrounding her suicide. After all, porn stars and politics rarely mix. But this is a disturbing tale that shows the true colors of the The Gay Mafia, exposes leftist hypocrisy (nothing new there), and presents about about-face stance for what a woman can and can’t do with her own body.

Porn star August Ames was found dead last week of an apparent suicide by hanging herself. She had been bullied to death, literally, by the LGBT community and their supporters. Why? Because Ames didn’t want to, ahem, “work with” a gay male on a porn set.

Here was the tweet that she sent out, two days before she committed suicide.

Porn Star August Ames Dies at 23 Following Twitter Controversy: Report

Gabe Ginsberg / FilmMagic / Getty

August Ames, an award-winning performer in the adult film industry with a substantial social media following, died on Tuesday, according to the NY Daily News.

Friends suspected that her death was a suicide, and the Ventura County Medical Examiner's Office later confirmed that her death was caused by asphyxia due to hanging, according to Adult Video News, the primary outlet covering the adult film industry.

Ames had been becoming more popular in the porn industry as her career progressed, winning the AVN award for Best New Starlet in 2015 and earning nominations for Female Performer of the Year in both 2016 and 2017. At the 2018 AVN Awards, she would've been up for Best Female Performer once again. She also won fan-voted awards for Cutest Newcomer in 2015 and Most Spectacular Boobs in 2017.

Early this week, Ames seemed to stoke controversy among porn industry followers for tweeting that she was canceling a shoot because an actor slated to perform with her had done gay porn:

Fans criticized Ames, with some alleging that the bisexual porn star was homophobic for refusing to work with the unnamed actor. She clarified her reasoning for canceling the shoot with another tweet, explaining that her refusal is for safety reasons:

Porn Star August Ames Left Suicide Note, Apologized for Killing Herself

New Post has been published on https://gossip.network/porn-star-august-ames-left-suicide-note-apologized-for-killing-herself/

Porn Star August Ames Left Suicide Note, Apologized for Killing Herself

Porn star August Ames left a suicide note before taking her own life in a public park. The Ventura County Medical Examiner tells that the note was discovered in August’s car. She allegedly apologized for killing herself, but did not mention anything about the backlash she had received after refusing to film a sex scene with a male performer who had done gay porn.

August died on December 6 after committing suicide by hanging. Her body was found at 3:45 A.M. in a public park 20 minutes from her home in Camarillo. Her cause of death has been confirmed as asphyxiation due to hanging.

A few days before her tragic death, August tweeted, “whichever (lady) performer is replacing me tomorrow for @EroticaXNews , you’re shooting with a guy who has shot gay porn, just to let cha know. BS is all I can say Do agents really not care about who they’re representing? #ladirect I do my homework for my body.” She later received backlash from porn community and internet users who accused her of being homophobic.

Defending herself, she wrote on Monday, December 4, “I don’t have anything to apologize for! Apologizing for taking extra steps to ensue that my body stays safe? F**k you guys attacking me when none of my intentions were malicious. I f**king love the gay community! What the f**k ever! I CHOOSE who I have inside my body. No hate.”

August’s friend and fellow adult film star Alison Tyler revealed that the late star was attacked “pretty hard” following her tweet. “A couple of people from the gay industry attacked her pretty hard, were pretty hard on her about her decision, and a few females from the straight industry were also very hard on her and were also very verbal about it and they were some big names in our industry,” Alison told . She added, “But who really knows what pushed her over the edge?”

Former porn star and August’s friend who were bullying August for her death. “I am so disappointed in some of the people in the adult industry,” Jenna told . “I am also shocked and dismayed at a few FEMALES that attacked and helped fan the fire against my friend August.” She added, “Her blood is on their hands.”

Jenna specifically called out adult star Jessica Drake and Jaxton Wheeler. The latter had previously tweeted that August should kill herself by taking a “cyanide pill.” Jenna continued to slam those bullies, “This should be a signal to everyone that their words are more than just words, they can take their toll.”

In a statement released after August’s death, Jessica explained that her comments were not meant to bully or harass anyone. She, however, admitted, “I still feel as if I failed her.”

Brett Rossi, an ex-girlfriend of Charlie Sheen, also expressed her frustration with the circumstances surrounding Ames' reported suicide:

A beautiful life is GONE because people like to use their “fan base” to bully others because THEiR opinion doesn’t agree with YOURS. RiP to a sweet, kind, soul..I’m so sad & so angry. A life wasted simply because HER opinion didn’t mesh with YOURS.

"She was the kindest person I ever knew, and she meant the world to me," her husband, director Kevin Moore, told AVN. "Please leave this as a private family matter in this difficult time."

Recently, there has been a loss of life due to suicide that is being talked about all over social media. As the conversation keeps going people are speaking their mind on the situation with, although good intentions, a horrible interpretation on their part, and because of that misunderstanding of a single tweet, hateful comments and shaming have bee thrown at this individual for mainly speaking her mind due to some new laws that have been passed within California, which are understandable. I am talking about the suicide of Adult Film Star August Ames. 

It all started on December 3 when August Ames tweeted out this tweet:

“ whichever (lady) performer is replacing me tomorrow for @EroticaXNews , you’re shooting with a guy who has shot gay porn, just to let cha know.  BS is all I can say Do agents really not care about who they’re representing? #ladirect I do my homework for my body”

Now to the reader, that may come off bad since she is singling out a Male Actor that is known to do both Straight and Gay porn, but what you should pay your attention to is the last sentence: “I do my homework for my body.” Now why might this part be important? Well since Twitter doesn’t allow for a post that can properly explain one’s mind within 140 (now 280) characters, you might not catch what she’s throwing at you. 

Due to recent legislation passing these past few months, California has now made it not a crime to infect someone with AIDS/HIV without them knowing, meaning that if you are to sleep with someone, they don’t need to tell you that they have the infection since it is now not a felony charge. I can understand why they might want to pass such a legislation such as this. I’m sure that if you have AIDS/HIV, you have probably gotten some shit thrown at you for it like insults and being made fun of for it. That’s understandable. The reality of this situation is though, is that the AIDS virus still exists within the Gay Community, which sucks, but still true. 

Due to this, this is where the last sentence of that tweet makes sense. She was giving a warning to those who were going to do the shoot with this man. Keep in mind, this is the porn industry we’re talking about. That means that for those involve, sex is just a job. It’s not the same kind of intimacy you get in normal relationship, and since it’s inevitably  with a lot of individuals, there is a WAY higher chance of infections starting and spreading if safe sex isn’t practiced (and if you’re aware of the porn pages within this site and all the gifs they have of all the porn you could possibly think of, it shows that most of the time, that is exactly the case).

Ever since she made this tweet, her associates have looked at her as a homophobic person, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS LITERALLY VIDEO EVIDENCE THAT SHE IS NOT (I will admit I have reviewed it several times). Even when this whole conversation was specifically about health concerns, people even went to calling her a racist. AGAIN, VIDEO EVIDENCE THAT SHE IS NOT (and yes, I have reviewed it. several more times.). And what really sickens this whole situation is the fact that some of those who accused her of such things went on to tell her to LITERALLY KILL HERSELF, and later on TRY TO CLAIM THE MORAL HIGH GROUND AS THOUGH THEY WERE IN THE RIGHT. 

If you wish to review the slander that she had thrown at her, this video by Mister Metokur clears up the whole situation, Although keep in mind he will come off as an asshole in the video, but not towards August Ames, only to those who thought they were in the right but were clearly, clearly wrong. 

So let this who situation be a lesson for EVERYONE to learn. NEVER bully people to the point of suicide. NEVER.
