Lawrence KilliumAdult film actress Olivia Nova, 20, died on Sunday in Las Vegas, which adds her name to the list of young porn stars dying before their time.
At this time, the cause of Nova’s death is unknown.
Nova had shown signs of depression, tweeting on Christmas day that she was lonely after having to spend the holidays alone.
Olivia Nove lost her boyfriend in an apparent suicide in April 2017, just nine months before her own tragic death.
Her former representatives, LA Direct Models, published a statement after the news broke.
“While only represented by Direct Models for a short period of time, we came to know Olivia as a beautiful girl with a very sweet and gentle personality,” the statement read. “It is understood next of kin have been informed. Another one, way too young we are beyond shocked and most certainly, completely out of the blue. Rest in peace, sweet angel.”
Nova made her start in the porn industry in March of 2017 and had a following of over 20,000 Twitter followers.

Another pornstar, August Ames, committed suicide last month after being incessantly bullied by SJWs on Twitter for “being homophobic.”
What did she do to deserve all the abuse she endured? She refused to shoot a film with a man who had recently done gay porn.
“Whichever (lady) performer is replacing me tomorrow for @EroticaXNews, you’re shooting with a guy who has shot gay porn, just to let cha know. BS is all I can say,” Ames tweeted. “Do agents really not care about who they’re representing? #ladirect I do my homework for my body.”

For some reason, someone making a choice with their own body was too much for some people, and Twitter attacked her using all kinds of slurs and names, one user even going as far as telling her to “take a cyanide pill.”
NOT homophobic. Most girls don’t shoot with guys who have shot gay porn, for safety. That’s just how it is with me. I’m not putting my body at risk, i don’t know what they do in their private lives. https://t.co/MRKt2GrAU4

Even fellow porn stars started bashing her, including gay porn star Sir Jaxton Wheeler in a tweet that has since been deleted.
“The world is waiting for your apology or for you to swallow a cyanide pill. Either or we’ll take it,” Wheeler wrote.
Even other female pornstars, like Alexis Monroe, attacked her.
“I think it’s hilarious that your discriminating against a man who does/did gay porn when half of this industry has performed with such performers. ALLLLLLL performers must subject to the SAME testing in order to work,” Monroe tweeted.

While there was some contention on the testing point, some people saying that there were instances that wasn’t true and some sticking to their guns that all performers are tested the same way, I think we can all agree that they were missing the point entirely.
If a woman doesn’t want to have sex with someone, she shouldn’t be forced to have sex with someone.
That could actually be simplified, for the SJWs who are still confused, into “my body, my choice.”
Ames seemingly felt the same frustration when she later tweeted:
“Choose who YOU want to work with”
“Don’t do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable”
“Share your thoughts”Hmm. Well, I did all three, and twitter took a dump on me

Sadly, after experiencing the torrent of abuse, August Ames killed herself in a park 20 minutes from her home.
Her last tweet simply read “fuck y’all.”
fuck y’all

She was found lifeless early Tuesday morning, and she had left a note to her family in her car.
In the heartbreaking note, she apologized to her family for killing herself. Interestingly enough, however, she never mentioned the cyberbullying.
In the aftermath, many have accused gay male porn star, Jaxton Wheeler, of being the person who pushed her over the edge with his malicious Twitter attacks in which he told her to take a cyanide pill.
“As a matter of public record, my comment was posted after August had chosen to take her life,” Jaxton Wheeler told TheSword.com. “I am disappointed my comments have been used to distract from my original issues and devastated they have inappropriately been attributed as the reason August chose to take her life.”
Many in the industry have mourned her passing, including Brett Rossi, a former girlfriend of Charlie Sheen.
A beautiful life is GONE because people like to use their “fan base” to bully others because THEiR opinion doesn’t agree with YOURS.
RiP to a sweet, kind, soul..I’m so sad & so angry. A life wasted simply because HER opinion didn’t mesh with YOURS.

“She was the kindest person I ever knew, and she meant the world to me,” her husband, director Kevin Moore, stated. “Please leave this as a private family matter in this difficult time.”
