I just read that. 27 years old. I've seen her films and I remember thinking of how she progressed over the years on camera from innocent looking nymphet to total drugged out hardcore porn star and said to myself "She's not going to live long". I've met many adult film people and they all talk fondly of the industry and how it's more female friendly now and respectful and all that, but still women are destroyed.

Makes your PornHub experience a little less -- fun -- knowing that.
 
Wow. Did not see that coming.

Thought she just faded herself out of that biz like most do. When the whole tiny/spinner girl phase was at its peak, she was one of the top names.

:rose:

Definitely a sad and cautionary tale.

RIP Dakota.

Hopefully you have gone to a much better place than this often toxic world.

In some poorer regions, the life expectancy is 20. We are moving in that direction.
 
from the Complex paper

Dakota Skye, a 27-year-old adult film star, was found dead at her Los Angeles home, according to a family member.

Skye, a Tampa Bay native whose real name was Lauren Scott and who also went by the alias “Kota Sky,” was found by her unnamed husband, and her aunt claimed she came from a family with history of addiction.

“She died almost exactly two years after her mother, my baby sister’s, death which was caused by addiction and alcoholism,” Linda Arden said in an interview with the Sun. She went on to add, “Lauren was a product of a highly dysfunctional family involving drugs, alcohol, physical, emotional, verbal and sexual abuse.”

her "home" was the suv her and q were living out of.

Death by misogyny; says something about the people who support porn, doesn’t it.

I would say that certain types of people gravitate to "the industry", and that the industry itself might not have been the primary problem in this case.

It might also serve as a reminder that the world is not all rainbows and unicorns after all. If you want peace, love, stability and all that, well that is something that you must reclaim from an ocean of chaos. If you just drift by, hoping the the best, things will usually not turn out that well.

Thinking about that might make PornHub educational.
 
Wow I actually recognize her from some porn I have seen. Shows you the not so glamorous side of the camera and porn. Sounds like she had some big issues from when she was young and ongoing. Hopefully she is at peace now.
 
if easy access to drugs and more drugs counts as glamour.

the porn industry is a shitty place. i have no firsthand knowledge, but if you listen to the ones who quit it doesn't paint a pretty picture. lots of hard drugs, exploitive assholes with fucked up ideas about what constitutes consent and blatant/out in the open racism.

and dakota skye is not exceptional in having died young. i know a couple years ago a couple pornstars in their twenties died within months of each other. and it's a small world. a couple is significant.

hell, a quick google says zoe parker killed herself last year. she was only 24. august ames killed herself in 2017 at only 23. it's fucked up.

Yeah, I remember August's suicide making headlines, but Zoe Parker, too? Damn. :(
 
There is less money in porn now, like many other careers, but finding other work after porn is more difficult.
