Porn Star Erik Rhodes Is Dead


Porn performer Erik Rhodes reportedly died today. I'd never heard of him, but a friend of mine who knows about these things sent me this message:

"So not surprising that Erik Rhodes died. He was so self-destructive. Had a blog that was so dark and scary. I'm surprised he lived this long. Most porn stars are self-destructive, but he seemed to get off on it. Very masochistic." 

Condolences to his loved ones. More on his passing HERE.

Find your friend who sent that to you and slap him.

Erik/James was manic depressive and deeply troubled.

This was a DREADFUL thing to say.

I just happened upon him this past Saturday, shopping at Bloomingdales. He seemed like a nice person, even though I never actually spoke to him, just stood feet away from him. Thoughts and condolences to those who knew and loved him.

He was a frequent guest on Sirius DNR Show. Not surprised. Too many drugs. Was always surprised they never called him out on his drug use when he was on the show.

Damien, I urge you to read Erik's blog. There is nothing false in Kenneth's post. The guy admits to being a porn star so that he can support his hooking and drug habit, regularly courted death, mocked his abuse of steroids, and all but declared he would die young.

Erik may have had good qualities but he was not someone to emulate. Even he would agree.

PS don't slap anyone, violence isn't the answer, friend

If you'd like to slap me for the comments I said to Kenneth, Damien, come get me. I'm ready for you. This guy relished in his misery. He, as stated by anonymous, did mock his drug abuse. He wrote very romantically about his addictions.

Also, Manic Depression no longer exists as a diagnosis. It's called bipolar disorder. This guy was a drug addict who refused to get help. Bipolar Disorder is very easily treated these days if the person cares enough to get help.

So fuck you.
