Former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy discussed the recent death of 23-year old porn star August Ames, who died by suicide after she was berated by Twitter users after she announced that she didn’t want to film a sex scene with a male porn star who had done gay porn. Ames explained that she had fears of STD’s. She hung herself on Tuesday.

Portnoy reacted to the death on Twitter by revealing how he believes cyberbullies played a part in the depression Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington, Robin Williams, and Keith Emerson suffered from.

Portnoy wrote, “I’m seeing stories on my Twitter feed about a 23 yr old porn star (not the point) who committed suicide today because of internet harassment…this is a REAL ISSUE that needs to be taken seriously!!! CYBERBULLYING mixed with DEPRESSION & SUICIDE is a big problem!!! #STOPTHETROLLS.”

“At some point these cyberbullies need to be held accountable for the horrible things they post online…I’m not certain, but I “have a hunch” that Internet trolls played a part in the depression to people like Keith Emerson, Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington and Robin Williams.”

Members of Chris Cornell’s family have been victims of cyberbullying since the legendary Soundgarden frontman’s death in May.
