The Death of Porn: Men of Integrity Building a World of Nobility

Product Information

Ortlund underscores the importance of transparency. He draws on James 5:16 and encourages his Son to confess sin, pray with like-minded brothers, which ultimately leads to healing. The sum of the matter is deeply encouraging: In this letter, I want to paint the picture of that new brotherhood. I’m not talking about accountability, as some men practice it. Accountability can be corrosive, bossy Ray writes like an Ortlund. Which, by essence, means that he points to a loving Christ in a Biblically saturated way.

Adult film producer Hans, who worked with Dahlia on her 2020 movie Always Dahlia Sky, claimed she had been struggling with her mental health, saying: "During her last year, I spoke to her several times about life. It was not an easy ride for her. Here’s a porn star, that is not a pornstar. The most famous man on the planet, Hugh M. Hefner. Yes, this alpha male created Playboy magazine and turned it into a multi-billion-dollar business. I was very strict with Colleen. To me, right is right and wrong is wrong. It still is… but as long as it doesn’t go too wrong, they’re going to do what they want to do anyway.A few days after the award show, Colleen’s Minnesota boyfriend arrived in Los Angeles to see her. She never showed up at the airport. And then he exhorts you to live as an activist against the biggest tech industry in the world. Publicly, for the nobility of so many men entrapped by the lies of the deceiver. We just started drifting a little bit apart. I couldn’t supply her with the amount of attention she needed. She would follow me from one room to another. It’s something I couldn’t take. I just couldn’t take it so I’d just constantly push her off. The night before she died, Skye had left the home she shared with her boyfriend and called a number of her friends, including her publicist, asking if she could stay with them. All of them turned her away. “She thought the FBI and the Mafia were after her. She thought she was going to go become a Hells Angel biker. She was high,” says Bradley. She walked all the way from the Valley to Los Angeles’s Skid Row, an hours-long trip, before ending up at a homeless man’s encampment at 2:30 in the morning. Although the LAPD rejected Rolling Stone‘s request for a police report, according to Lecompte-Goble, who spoke at length with investigators, the homeless man saw Skye smoking something before she curled up on his couch and went to sleep. She never woke up. If you or someone you know is struggling with drugs, call the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration National Helpline at 800-662-HELP (4357).

Before I blast off my mouth and go any further, let me introduce you to one of the stars in the business, Miss Shauna Grant. In just two years, Nicole has filmed more than 35 adult movies. Her scenes were on famous studios like Evil Angel, Reality Kings, and Digital Playground. At least you can find her works since clips remain online. She always told me, “Well, what could I do?” And she goes, “I can’t do anything. I can’t type, I can’t do this, I can’t do that.” She always… not really putting forth the effort. Making up excuses, “Well, I can’t right now. I have this coming up, it pays real good.” She said nothing that she could do would compare to the money she was making… and I think that was a big issue. Second, How You Can Fight Well. Ortlund encourages his son to remember that God is with him and rejoices over him. This point assumes that the battle against sin is ongoing until we reach the shores of the Celestial City. He urges, “Let’s support one another as we fight for our integrity. But let’s never make room for sin - even in our thoughts.”The woman’s name was Lauren Scott, and she loved karaoke, Hilary Duff, and once harbored dreams of becoming a marine biologist. But she was better known as Dakota Skye. Diminutive and flaxen-haired, Skye had starred in nearly 300 movies since entering the industry eight years ago, when she was 19, from Couples Bang the Babysitter 10to Young Girl Seductions 9; even though she was 27 at the time of her death, practically Methusaleh-esque in porn years, her petite stature (she was just five feet tall) and omnipresent cherubic expression led to her being primarily cast in teen roles. Adult star Dahlia Sky was tragically found dead in a car in San Fernando Valley, LA, in July 2021 after battling terminal cancer. Another Olivia, just with a more mysterious reason for death. She had many personal and other challenges, including months in rehab facilities. Considering she had not been highly active in porn for years, some members of the adult community, sensitive to how they are depicted in mainstream media, were careful to separate themselves from Skye, arguing that hers was a tragic yet all too common story across the city — not just for those involved in porn. “A person with known addiction issues overdosed. It happens daily in Los Angeles,” one insider told me. “It’s a sad person with drug problems who died, by all accounts I’ve heard.”

Many of the jobs Skye was booking, says Evans, were with companies that had previously worked with her and were trying to help her out by giving her work, despite her public issues. But Bradley says that anyone who employed Skye at the nadir of her addiction was effectively enabling her. “She was at the point where she was doing anything. Seeing fans, escorting, doing content trade, working when she could. She had no business working,” she says. “If anybody hired her during the past two years, they should be ashamed of themselves. She was not in her right mind. It was very known. If anyone tells you any different, they are lying.” St. James, who stopped working with Skye years ago but stayed in touch with her sporadically over the years, agrees. “ When somebody is going through something like that, the best thing I can do is not hire them. Not just because it’s a liability for me, but it’s a liability for them, because are they able to consent?,” she says. The death was described as a "potential suicide," with LAPD detective Dave Peteque telling AVN that suicide was "what the investigation is leaning towards, and there's no evidence at this time that there's any foul play."

Men of Integrity Building a World of Nobility

Yes. I didn’t hear from her for, it seemed like an eternity, but it was probably two months… didn’t hear a word and I didn’t know where to call her. We left there and then. All the way home, I kept saying, “Why did we do that? We could have found out where she was living, found some…” I didn’t know how to find her. Two of Colleen’s oldest friends live now in southern California, Brenda Rosenow and Colleen Hare. They grew up with her, both went to California at about the same time she did and stayed in touch with her to the end. It just messes with your mind. It’s addictive, you can’t quit once you get a hold of the money and you know it’s there and it’s easy to get to. You don’t want to quit.
