Billy Santoro Blames Straight Porn Stars For “Murder” Of Dave Slick
Dave Slick’s passing was reported less than fours ago, with a cause of death yet to be determined by the Chicago coroner’s office, but gay porn star Billy Santoro has already decided who’s to blame for Dave Slick’s death: Straight people.
In a series of tweets posted early this morning, Santoro lashed out at members of the straight porn industry, as well as webcam site Chaturbate, for what he calls the “murder” of Dave Slick. Santoro is already facing at least one lawsuit for defamation right now, and by wrongfully accusing people of murder, he’s asking to be sued again. Santoro’s tweets also appear to include threats of violence, which isn’t a surprise, given that he was accused of violently assaulting his own husband last year.
Santoro didn’t mention any straight performers by name, but he tagged the adult convention (“Exxxotica”) in Chicago that Slick had attended this weekend, telling them they were “responsible” for Slick’s death, and that he’d be “finding some of the models you hired”:
Santoro had performed in various cam shows with Slick over the last year and considered him a “friend,” although it’s not clear how any of Santoro’s tweets can be considered a decent or respectable way to honor a “friend”:
While Dave Slick’s Chaturbate page was taken down today, as Santoro notes above, it was actually pulled down out of respect for Slick and Slick’s family, and straight cam performer Johnny Stone had to clue Santoro in on that fact:
Another cam model, Ramona Flour, also informed Santoro that Slick’s Chaturbate page had been taken down out of respect for his family, and Santoro responded to her in a DM by writing, “Shut the fuck up bitch.” Flour posted the DMs that Santoro sent her:
While many straight and bisexual male performers who work in both straight and gay porn have faced backlash from the straight porn industry for being so-called “crossover” stars, it’s not clear where or how Slick was attacked, as Santoro claims. Before becoming an exclusive at gay porn studio Falcon, Slick performed with men and women in webcam shows, and last year, he was given the “Best Male Cam Model” award from XBIZ (a straight media company that covers the straight porn industry). Since news of his passing last night, many of Slick’s straight porn peers have taken to social media to express their sadness over his death, and he appears to have been beloved by everyone—male and female, gay, bisexual, and straight.
Still, Santoro says it’s straight porn people who are to blame.
Again, no cause of death has been announced for Dave Slick as of right now, but Billy Santoro (who is in Washington D.C., and nowhere near Chicago) is telling people that Slick “did NOT kill himself!”
If, as Santoro believes, it was not suicide, it’s not clear how he thinks Slick was killed, or how straight porn models are responsible for the death.
Johnny Stone tried asking Santoro to show some respect:
Unfortunately, that didn’t work:
This is what’s called making a tragic situation much worse, and Santoro is no different than the crazed mob of “fans” who blamed gay porn stars for August Ames’ death last year. Senselessly attacking others will get you nowhere and accomplishes nothing, and hate only begets more hate.
