Between wanting to murder Bruno Bond and telling me to kill myself, troubled bareback gay porn star Jed Athens seems to have an obsession with death. So, I guess it makes sense that he would attach himself to the passing of gay porn legend Erik Rhodes, in a deranged and dishonest way, of course.
Jed Athens has taken to his blog once again, not only to claim that he was dating Erik Rhodes when he died (he wasn’t), but also to insult those close to him and cheapen his memory. It takes a special kind of monster to publicly exploit someone’s death to fulfill your own sick delusions:
I was dating Erik Rhodes when he died. Even though I had told Adam R. at Falcon. He wrote up a statement telling the people he was still dating that half whit Ricardo when he passed. Which was quite upsetting when you read something like that. I wasn’t there when he died but I have slowly gotten information here or there and I don’t know what is true or what is not. From what I know of his actions this is probably what actually went down. There are rumors that Erik was escorting (which we all know he did and won awards for) and doing a three way with Samuel Colt and there were drugs involved. Erik was taking these kind of drugs when I was dating him HGH, Steroids, Heroine, Meth, G, and a number of different very powerful prescription pills.
He goes on to turn his twisted eulogy into an attack on Falcon Studios, blaming them, Steve Cruz, and Bruno Bond for Erik’s death, as well as the deaths of all porn stars who are paired with scene partners they aren’t attracted to:
I hate Bruno B. with a passion for the shit he put me in and I hate Falcon for allowing a person to continue being a sack of shit and paying him just because they like his husband. Both Bruno and his husband are sick and twisted. Steve and Bruno stated in a tweet last year to look out that they will be hiring ethnic actors first and then the white ones later. Regardless that you write in you submission form saying you are not into certain kinds of guys they will pair you with what you are not attracted too. If you complain or throw a fit they will 86 you and you never work for them again. They put that pressure on you because you don’t want to lose a job. So you go along with it, even if you have a problem. So what do you do to rid yourself of the pain? You might take drug or drink or even kill yourself, because you feel trapped?
Other people Jed Athens blames for Erik Rhodes’ death?
Chi Chi LaRue and Tate Ryder. Because why not?
This is a sick continuous cycle will go on and on. The funny thing is the public doesn’t have a clue. For example Hookie Award winner Tate Ryder didn’t win MR. Los Angeles because he was the most popular he won because of Chi-Chi gave it to him. He gave it to him because he was going to be working with him in FL on set. Nothing is fair in this industry actor’s use to make a killing and tons of money. […] We as a society want quantity and we have no problem throwing anything and everything away for the newest thing. I know of several porn boys who have taken their lives because they were thrown away.
Jed Athens also blames blogs, bloggers, and blog commenters for gay porn star deaths and suicides, so I truly hope Jed Athens isn’t reading this next part!
Erik Rhodes’ twin brother, Jon, has just posted the below messages on Erik’s blog, confirming that his brother was never dating Jed Athens:
I never heard of Jed Athens…[Erik] never mentioned him to me. And usually I’d get the full scoop if he saw potential in a relationship…[Erik] wasn’t dating anyone – he lived with Riccardo – who desperately wanted more which was just not there.
Here’s Jed Athens falling down on the runway at an Andrew Christian fashion show.
