When the news broke on Sept. 13 that gay porn star Danny Roddick had died of an apparent drug overdose, it didn’t take long for friends and fans to mourn his loss. Unfortunately, it also didn’t take long for people to blame Roddick’s chosen profession for his death.
David Forest, founder of Los Angeles-based David Forest Entertainment, doesn’t mince words when asked whether those opinions have merit.
“That’s bullshit,” he says. “I’ve been in the porn industry for 27 years and I’ve known many stars who have taken their own lives or accidentally overdosed on drugs, but there’s no porn company out there that could make someone kill themselves.”
Although Forest doesn’t believe Roddick intentionally took his own life, others in the industry who have done so in the past “were not happy people in general,” he says. “I don’t think what they were doing—making gay porn—was what caused them to be unhappy, though. I think their lives just weren’t going the way they had hoped.” (keep reading:GayWired)
