Porn star August Ames hanged herself in park 20 minutes' drive from her home
Porn star August Ames hanged herself in park 20 minutes' drive from her home and left suicide note in car saying sorry to parents
The porn star was told
In December 2017, a popular adult film star named August Ames found herself at the center of an online controversy. Ames had refused to shoot with a fellow performer once she found out that he had also appeared in gay films — and took to Twitter to air her grievances:
"Whichever (lady) performer is replacing me tomorrow... you're shooting with a guy who has shot gay film, just to let cha know. BS is all I can say... Do agents really not care about who they're representing?"
Ames was soon reprimanded by several Twitter users who accused her of homophobia, with one adult film star even telling her to take a cya**** pill. Just two days later, she hanged herself. Many believe that Ames was cyber-bullied to death, but substantial questions remain.

August Ames took to Twitter one last time just hours before she is believed to have taken her own life.
The porn star wrote her last tweet at midday on Tuesday - shortly before she was found dead in her California home at the age of 23
The Ventura County Medical Examiner confirmed to The Blast that August - real name Mercedes Grabowski - died of asphyxiation due to hanging.
Friends of the star, who had appeared in more than 270 X-rated movies, said she had suffered from long-term depression.
Her suspected suicide came just days after being branded 'homophobic' for refusing to film sex scenes with male actors who had had sex with other men.

When a Twitter user wrote to her saying, "So you're homophobic?" she replied: "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."
A day later she replied to another Twitter user saying she wasn't going to apologise for her previous tweets.
"I don’t have anything to apologize for! Apologizing for taking extra steps to ensue that my body stays safe?
"I f**king love the gay community! What the f**k ever! I CHOOSE who I have inside my body. No hate."
After the row she was hounded by online trolls and it seems her last tweet was in response to the hate she received.
She was found dead just hours later at home in Camarillo, California.
Her devastated husband Kevin Moore, 43, said: “She was the kindest person I ever knew and she meant the world to me.
“Please leave this as a private family matter in this dif
