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.

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."
