The Last Days of August: Episode Four
2Description
Jon Ronson, the creator of Audible Original The Butterfly Effect, delves into the pornography industry again as he unravels the never-before-told story of what caused a beloved 23-year-old actress’s untimely death.
In December 2017, famed adult film star August Ames died by suicide in a park in the Conejo Valley. Her death came just a day after she’d been the victim of a social media pile-on by fellow porn professionals—punishment for her tweeting out something deemed homophobic.
A month later, August’s husband and pornography producer Kevin Moore connected with journalist Jon Ronson to tell the story of how cyberbullying via Twitter killed his wife. Neither of them could predict the rumors and secrets that Ronson would soon hear, revelations that hinted at a very different story—something mysterious and unexpected and terrible.

not to bash anyone but Lisa Ann doesn't sound like a great person...blah blah blah they do drugs so nothing they say can be true.... yeah sure 🙄
Damn…totally changed my opinion of Lisa Ann after this one. She wants him to investigate the other deaths, then says everyone will lie to avoid their guilt. Speed talking and ranting will never sway an investigator from his story. This podcast is about August, not what you think it should be about. If 75% are on the verge of suicide, and yet you “have worked with more people than anyone”…maybe your it’s your guilt you can’t face.
I can't believe how unprofessional so many of the people in the industry can be and hope that it can be seen for what it is and than adjusted accordingly
