As Twitchy readers know, adult film star August Ames took her life apparently after being bullied on social media for speaking out against performing with men who had taken part in gay porn because of health concerns. Many in her own industry attacked her, calling her a homophobe and literally telling her to kill herself.
Which she sadly did.
UPDATE: The cause of adult film actress August Ames' death has been confirmed: "Mercedes Grabowski died of asphyxia due to hanging. Manner is suicide." https://t.co/M1Lx4QbDxz

People in social media were INFURIATED over this news, but none quite so much as Jenna Jameson, who took her own past industry to the shed over the young actresses’ suicide and the lackluster reaction to it in that community.
I’ve been saying this for a long time… I deal with such intense hatred, and I’m able to turn it off. Maybe I’ve just grown accustomed to the harassment. But young girls in porn aren’t, and bottom line, none of us deserve it. https://t.co/Hcsh7st5zq

People are horrible.
This is an unfortunate reality of social media because horrible people can hide behind fake names and pictures and say terrible things to others with no consequences. Except the people attacking August were using their stage names because they were in her own industry.
Like this jackass.
On Monday I called out a homophobic performer for her ignorance and uneducated bias.
She allegedly chose to end her own life when she was exposed to the same vitriol that gay people have been exposed to globally for decades. Original tweet below.— Bruce Beckham (@BruceBeckhamXXX) December 6, 2017
So it’s her own fault that these people tormented her perhaps to the point of taking her own life.
K.
SHAME ON YOU… you need to re-evaluate your life. Your community is becoming a lynch mob, when anyone says anything you dislike. I have been on the other end of it and received death threats from it. STOP THIS SHIT NOW! https://t.co/QlmQajKQv0

SO. MUCH. BOOM.
You told my friend August to swallow ancyanide pill… you are directly responsible for her death. I will not rest until you are deleted from social media all together. https://t.co/e4VBdIwrgB

You’ll notice a lot of tweets Jenna is responding to are missing because these toughies who went after August deleted the evidence. Screenshots are forever though …
Classy, right?
I would like to point out the incredible amount of attacks that were made on me by the lgbt community when I voiced my opinion on a trans woman being in Playboy. I received death threats against me and my daughter. This went on for days. This mob mentality must end. #augustames

The community that supposedly only wants to be accepted is awfully unaccepting and nasty when they don’t get their way, eh?
Maybe police your community and educate the attackers on how to not make people die https://t.co/AMY9zifZjg

Another one missing.
Whether she's transphobic or not, liking posts like this is transphobic behaviour. pic.twitter.com/9m0G30vxNS

Oh FFS.
Are you trying to start another witchhunt against me? Have you learned nothing from what happened to @AugustAmesxxx ? You disgust me. https://t.co/W9amCRcRU9
— Jenna Jameson (@jennajameson) December 7, 2017
And yes, that’s exactly what that person was doing.
The scariest part of the attacks on @AugustAmesxxx is that they were led by quite a few big females in the adult industry. These women fanned the flames of the trolling against August. Everyone should read the thread. So disappointing and tragic.
— Jenna Jameson (@jennajameson) December 7, 2017
Her own industry went after her. Yes.

Dude. Really?
Unfortunately A LOT of people do. Very empathetic of you though, you utter mong. https://t.co/SSieAeB1cW
— Jenna Jameson (@jennajameson) December 7, 2017
Such a sympathetic lot.
https://twitter.com/ImBrettRossi/status/938829936722436096
Many of the people who attacked her locked their accounts, deleted tweets, and a handful doubled down on the attacks saying that it was her own fault for being mean to gay men. Can’t even make this awful crap up.
This is a tactic used by narcissists… gas lighting and stepping back and watching the chaos. It’s twisted. https://t.co/3k4AVKee0z

Oh look, another missing tweet.
https://twitter.com/falloutboyonboy/status/938684104811233280
She was literally advocating for her own safety.
So you advocate people urging suicide because they don’t agree with their views? https://t.co/j7OahYmFub
— Jenna Jameson (@jennajameson) December 7, 2017
Seems that way.
Someone come get their drunk uncle https://t.co/Hi4mdIeL1l

Sigh, another missing tweet.

Wait, consequences? Get outta here.
I agree with you wholeheartedly, Jesse! https://t.co/nnlAZMywlN

Then don't say things you know are going to start shit…I'm not saying don't have an opinion but you knew it would ruffle feathers. So….

These people.
So you’re saying I shouldn’t speak unless I am in compliance with the left and it’s mania? Fat chance lady ?? https://t.co/v7ozE8LX4D

Preach.
You are everything that is wrong with this world, in more ways than one. https://t.co/w03LGvq5P5

Wow.
This makes me ill… I see something very consistent about these attacks made by the lgbt community… they try to strip your integrity, dehumanize you. Sickens me. https://t.co/M6lnMsnDp7

The mob mentality of SJW Twitter.
RIP August.
