"So August Ames . . ."
Wed Dec-06-17 05:05 PM by Boogiedwn

Just saw this on twitter, long story short

Committed suicide

After getting on Twitter and saying she's not doing scenes with guys who do gay porn. Got dumped from some gigs after the roasting and then killed herself a couple of days later.

I think all HIV outbreaks are a big deal and your position is anti-woman	Buddy_Gilapagos	Dec 09th 2017	76
anti-woman? I am laughing in your face because you are being willfully	StephBMore	Dec 11th 2017	86
You up here talking about it just a "small" outbreak of HIV so its ok.	Buddy_Gilapagos	Dec 11th 2017	87
