Some absolutely horrific news to report this afternoon as porn star August Ames has died.
Information on August Ames passing is still coming in, though in the past few days she had been berated on Twitter over a tweet she made about a scene she had dropped out of which clearly upset the starlet.
The September 2016 Vixen Angel, who was a multiple time award winner in 2015, 2016 and 2017 was one of the brightest and most beloved actors in the industry and was not only a favorite of fans but also fellow co-workers.
Understandably, Twitter users and friends of August Ames were in disbelief and shock.
Kendra Lust, Jesse James, Nikki Benz and many more all expressed their heartbreak on social media:
May you RIP beautiful ??❤️ @AugustAmesxxx

The industry has gone to shit, no one protects the performers and they bully them or threaten them, and people wonder why they industry isn’t the same ? And you attack girls for having a voice ? And now someone has HIV and y’all hide it ? Why do you think everyone is leaving??

In addition to the online bullying that Ames had been dealing with, she recently also expressed frustration with on-set bullying which many ladies, including those above, have fought back against.
In our small dealings with August, she was one of the sweetest, most genuine and funny people you’d ever meet.
August Ames was just 23-years-old. Our thoughts are with her family and friends.
Update – August Ames’ cause of death has been released:
