Following Tyler Hill, Landon Vega, Blake Mitchell, Angel Rivera, Joey Mills, Julian Bell, and Cameron Parks, screenwriter and author Taylor Saracen has just announced that she’s the latest Helix Studios employee to leave the company. There have now been a whopping eight different people who’ve left Helix since December.
Two weeks ago, the studio and their publishing house—13 Red Media, where Saracen wrote three novels based on the lives of Blake Mitchell, Joey Mills, and Kyle Ross—faced severe backlash from fans after canceling their nationwide book tour in support of Saracen’s novel about Mills. With Saracen now gone, it’s not clear how (if at all) 13 Red Media will continue, given that Saracen was the company’s sole author, who played an instrumental role in its launch last summer. Saracen’s statement announcing her resignation, as posted this afternoon:
Many people have DMed asking if I’m still with Helix/13 Red & the answer is that I’m not. I’m proud of the work I did for the company (one more book coming soon), thankful for the opportunity & most importantly, grateful for some beautiful friendships. Now for the next chapter…
In addition to the novels for 13 Red, Saracen wrote two of Helix’s most recent features, Vegas Nights and Winter Break, as well as dialogue for several of the studio’s recent scenes.
Former Helix employees contacted by Str8UpGayPorn over the last month have been unable or unwilling to go on the record with explanations about their departures, but with seven popular models and now their screenwriter gone, it’s abundantly clear that there are ongoing issues at the studio. This is a developing story…
