August Ames: Controversial Porn Star’s Tragic Cause of Death Revealed
Even in 2017, this story was positively surreal.
Simply two days after straight porn star August Ames made waves together with her controversial and homophobic statements, she died by suicide at the age of 23. It was mysterious, unusual, and unhappy.
And now we all know precisely how she died.
August Ames, whose actual names was Mercedes Grabowski, was a straight porn actress whose homophobic tweet and ensuing protection of it made the rounds earlier this week.
It began with a tweet of hers:
“Whichever (woman) performer is changing me tomorrow for @EroticaXNews, you’re capturing with a man who has shot homosexual porn, simply to let cha know. BS is all I can say [shrug emoji] Do brokers actually not care about who they’re representing? #ladirect I do my homework for my physique.”
So, what she’s clearly saying right here is that she believes that homosexual males, bi males, or a straight man who has had intercourse with a person for cash (loads of male porn actors have intercourse with folks they would not select to this point — cash is cash) is extra more likely to have secretly contracted an STI.
(The porn business exams its performers repeatedly, notably those that movie bareback — as most of them do)
Which is okay. Being a intercourse employee doesn’t in any approach negate your bodily autonomy or grand automated consent or no matter.
You recognize what’s not fantastic?
Bigotry.
Some intercourse employees refuse to do scenes with a person who’s had intercourse with a person. Some intercourse employees refuse to do scenes with black males. That is their proper.
In each instances, although, it positive appears to be like loads like prejudice. And the belief man who has completed homosexual porn is extra more likely to be diseased than another person, properly, that reeks of some anti-gay beliefs.
Her tweet was additional difficult by the truth that she was “warning” some unknown different girl, as if she believed that each one ladies shared her prejudiced perception.
“don’t have something to apologize for!” she tweeted.
“Apologizing for taking additional steps to ensue that my physique stays secure?”
Clearly, she wouldn’t have confronted this sort of backlash if she have been only a performer who at all times had her costars put on condoms (although that may be a career-killer). It is as a result of he “precautions” have been so focused that she was controversial.
“F–k you guys attacking me when none of my intentions have been malicious. I f–king love the homosexual neighborhood!”
Given her different tweets, folks learn that as “I really like these disease-prone, untrustworthy of us!”
“What the f–k ever! I CHOOSE who I’ve inside my physique. No hate.”
Lots of people needed for her to grasp that her views didn’t replicate actuality and that her beliefs have been mistaken.
Although a few of the responses to her tweets have been excessive, the overwhelming majority didn’t need her to die.
Sadly, on Tuesday, December fifth, information broke that August Ames had died on the age of 23.
23 is younger — younger sufficient that she might have later grown and realized the error of her beliefs. She’s not the primary to have some problematic opinions at 23?
For a little bit perspective, we’re speaking a few girl who was most likely too younger to have instructed you the place she was and what she was doing on 9/11.
August died by suicide, however the circumstances and method of her dying have been unknown.
Till now.
HollywoodLife stories that the The Ventura County Medical Examiner Media spokesperson shared August Ames’ cause of death:
“Mercedes Grabowski died of asphyxia as a consequence of hanging. [The] method is suicide.”
That’s the health worker’s willpower.
The toxicology report (these by no means get completed as shortly as they do on police procedurals) has but to come back again, and could also be illuminating concerning Ames’ mind-set.
We will solely assume that the backlash performed a job in her psychological state earlier than she took her personal life.
August Ames has amassed greater than 270 credit within the porn business since 2013. She’ll be missed by followers, fellow grownup performers, and naturally by her associates.
Her husband, Kevin Moore, has requested for privateness as he mourns his spouse.
No matter anybody could consider August Ames’ statements, this can be a tragedy.
A younger girl misplaced her life. Many individuals misplaced a pal and beloved one.
And the vital dialogue about STIs, homophobia, and intercourse employees? That may wait for one more time.
