    August Ames Pornstar

    Everyone seems to have strong opinions on the internet these days, and sometimes, tend to gang up on others who disagree. This seems to be what happened with Pornstar August Ames, who killed herself yesterday following backlash to some tweets she sent out.

    Now, obviously, Porn isn’t something we would normally cover here at ScreenGeek, but this story in particular, I felt it was important to point out – because cyber bullying is an important issue, and it’s sad when someone feels like they have no other way out.

    It all began when Ames sent out this tweet:

    The Twitter mob ensued:

    She sent out a few tweets before she died:

    Her very last tweet:

    According to The Blast,

    “…law enforcement sources tell us Ames was found early Tuesday morning in Camarillo. She was pronounced dead at the scene, and we’re told there is no indication of foul play or any other crime occurring. We’re told toxicology tests are also being conducted while the death is investigated.”

    The report was later updated to say:

    The Ventura County Medical Examiner tells The Blast Ames died of asphyxiation due to hanging.

    Reaction then followed:

    Pretty sad that it had to come to this, but even when it doesn’t seem like someone is suffering, it’s proof we never actually know.
