August, real name Mercedes Grabovski, caused controversy online after revealing that she refused to work with anyone in the industry who had taken part in gay sex scenes.

Despite trying to explain her actions and that it was common industry safety practice, August was blasted on social media and branded homophobic.

She was found dead last month with authorities confirming it to be death by asphyxiation.

Her husband Kevin Moore believes the 23-year-old could not cope with the messages and consequently took her own life.

He wrote in a heartbreaking blog post: “She took screenshots of everything. All of the bullying. It is all there on her phone, including many of the tweets that have since been deleted.

“If you fire a gun into the air and that bullet randomly hits someone that you never intended to kill, you still killed them.

“I write this to make it crystal clear: bullying took her life. If the harassment had not occurred, she would be alive today.

“She ended her life the day after the bullying began. To think they are unrelated is delusional.”

Last week, famous young porn star Olivia Nova was found dead aged just 20.

The adult actress was found dead in Las Vegas on Sunday, according to reports.
