About August Ames in brief
August Ames was a Canadian pornographic actress and model. She appeared in almost 290 movies, including a non-pornographic film in 2016, and was nominated for several AVN Awards. In 2017, at the age of 23, Ames committed suicide after a particular event of social media backlash following a tweet she posted. Her death was ruled a suicide due to asphyxia by hanging by the Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office. Close friends stated that cyberbullying led her to end her life.
An investigation into her suicide was covered in the Audible series The Last Days of August by Jon Ronson. Ronson concludes that a number of people around Ames contributed to the poor mental state that led to her death and draws comparisons between Ames’s death and the fictional suicide of the young girl in J.B. Priest’s play An Inspector Calls. In the wake of Ames’ death, several initiatives were proposed to deal with the issue of adult performers within the industry.
