Racist Gay Man Who’s Believed To Be Gay Porn Star Dustin Gold Shouts N-Word And Assaults Pedestrian In Viral Video
Dustin Gold hasn’t been in any gay porn for six years, but the former twink performer is reportedly now the star of a viral video in which he uses the n-word and appears to assault a pedestrian in New York City.
In the video below—which was posted by YouTube user SpottedOnTheUES, and then went viral after being shared by Black Lives Matter leader Anthony Beckford—Gold shouts at a sanitation worker to “get out of the middle of the street…fucking n****r!” before being approached by a pedestrian filming him. At the end of the video, Gold is seen lunging at the man filming, grabbing his phone, and hurling it down the street:
Video description via YouTube:
A short clip of a racist caught on film. This incident occurred on East 85th St, between 1st and York Ave, at approximately at 6:00pm, on Saturday, July 18th, 2020. Prior to this clip, the driver of the vehicle, purportedly Joey / Joseph O’Brien or adult film actor “Dustin Gold”, was repeatedly shouting at a Black sanitation worker, yelling “you’re a n*****”. The noise was enough for several residents to come down to street level. When filmed and confronted, O’Brian took a bystander’s phone and threw it on the ground. The passenger did nothing. The driver was driving a silver 2009 Pontiac Vibe, with Connecticut plates AX-17554.
Shortly after the video went viral, the racist was identified as Joseph O’Brien (probably using the car’s license plate), who used to perform in gay porn as Dustin Gold. Given the change in his weight and his face being obscured with glasses in the video, it’s not clear how the YouTube account or Twitter users recognized O’Brien as Gold (Str8Up has been unable to independently verify that O’Brien is Gold, but another gay porn star has told me that several of O’Brien’s friends have confirmed the connection), but here’s O’Brien/Gold’s (seen on the far right) Facebook photo:
Also, one Twitter user recognized O’Brien/Gold as an employee at a club in NYC called The Box:
Gold’s last Helix scene was released in 2014, and he’s seen topping in the below photos:
