sabrina26 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 That's sad to hear... especially because of all the husband killing himself story. I'm guessing by that article that his husband couldn't handle the pressure of not having a job and having to leave Canada but not being to live as a couple in the US, some people can't handle those kind of situations...

horn Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Death Of Porn Actor Wilfried Knight Confirmed. Committed Suicide Two Weeks After Husband’s Death By Dan Avery Mar 12, 2013 Michael Mew, a close friend of porn star Wilfried Knight, has confirmed in a statement that Knight died on March 5 in an apparent suicide. Mew wrote: It is with heavy heart that I announce the passing of Wilfried Knight on Tuesday, March 5th, 2013.The last thing he would want is everyone to think he was a porn-star cliché. He was not: He was not a drug or steroid abuser, and he did not drink like crazy.He was a funny man with a kitschy sense of humour, who was more at home in the outdoors; on a mountaintop or volcano with his trusty pitbull he affectionately called Pig Daughter.If you did see him at a bar or club, he was usually off on the side somewhere drinking a dry glass of white wine with his husband, Jerry.As many of you do not know, Wilfried’s husband, Jerry Enriquez, took his own life less then two weeks before Wilfried did. Wilfried decided to follow him; taking his own life in the same hotel where they were legally married in up in Vancouver, Canada.Jerry was an American citizen and Wilfried was a French national. Despite the challenges of being in a multi-national relationship, they tried very hard to make it work and stay together. Wilfried even enrolled into acupuncture school in Portland so that they can stay together. With his schooling and attached visa coming to a close end, Jerry desperately looked for work in Vancouver, Canada. They would have preferred to stay Portland but due to American immigration laws their Canadian marriage was not recognized and Wilfried would have to leave the U.S.Jerry was so happy when he landed a job at Lululemon as the manager their IVIVA clothing line. Since Wilfried and Jerry were legally married in Canada, Wilfried was given a spouse visa and they both happily moved up to Vancouver.They both were very private people in a lot of ways. After about a year, Jerry was let go by Lululemon. Wilfried told me about the questionable treatment Jerry received from Lululemon of which he wrote on his blog. Without a job or work visa in Canada, Jerry and Wilfried would not be able to stay in Canada and they could not return to the U.S. together.After about five months not being able to find a new job, Jerry took his own life on February 21, 2013.Death can come suddenly and people forget to take care of final matters. There was no will. Anything that Wilfried and Jerry had build together, including their home in Portland, now went to Jerry’s family. Their relationship was never formally recognized by the U.S. government, even though they were legally married in Canada and had over eight years of memories and photos together.Up to the end, he expressed how he wished that no couple would have to endure what he and Jerry had to in trying to stay together. They would both be alive today if America had gay marriage.They will be missed. We reached out to Lucas Entertainment, where Knight filmed more than 20 movies. “I was hoping it was a hoax,” Lucas director Marc MacNamara told us. “I loved Wilfried dearly. There are some people who you just completely connect with and we had a beautiful bond. We kept in contact over the years as he had such a grounded perspective of life. He was so incredibly caring and genuine and we, as an industry and as a community are all at a great loss without Wilfried’s presence.” MacNamara told us that many performers have taken Knight’s passing particularly hard, and he hopes they remember to stay strong. Our condolences to Knight’s friends and loved ones. http://www.queerty.c...death-20130312/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apples388 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Actually, no, it's not distasteful. He was a porn star - that was his body of work. Posting pictures of his work is paying tribute to it. I don't find it distasteful whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Its just BuBu being anti porn again. Are you autistic? OCD? Why do you repeatedly go on and rant against the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 It's nothing to do with how I feel about porrn. It just feels weird to me that somebody just committed suicide and instantly after its announcement there are pictures being posted of that person from porn films. If Madonna died (God forbid) I doubt people would instantly post pictures from the S E X book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy is known as a pornstar. I mean maybe there are pictures of him when he was a teen working in McDonalds or something, but those are probably hard to come by.

If Madonna died (God forbid) I doubt people would instantly post pictures from the S E X book. Agreed. It's creepy tbh. I think it's fine in a porn thread to still have pics of porn stars who happen to be dead, if you like their work. In this thread it's unnecessary.

IsaacHarris Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 So if they played one of his porn videos on a projector at his funeral you would think it was okay? Of course not, but one's body of work isn't relevant at a funeral service; it's more so about who they were as a person. I doubt they'd play a megamix of music videos at Madonna's funeral either. I could understand the distaste if someone posted a leaked nude photo or something, but the porn pics aren't personal or private. They're a part of his legacy. Its Not that serious.

I mean discussing a persons (very recent) death and in the next breath being all 'let's have a look at his dick'. I think it's weird and a bit low but maybe I'm the weirdo.

Alpha Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 So if they played one of his porn videos on a projector at his funeral you would think it was okay? I understand what you mean, but working in porn, is a bit different to say secretly filming/or talking about watching people have sex, who don't know your watching...if that makes sense If I was a porn star, I would be surprised if people spoke/watched what I did.... Just read the title of this thread..Porn Star dies. I've seen threads of other people who have died (maybe not on MN) people have posted clips of their work, be it singing, acting, painting, fucking.

jonski43 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 I mean discussing a persons (very recent) death and in the next breath being all 'let's have a look at his dick'. I think it's weird and a bit low but maybe I'm the weirdo. No, I felt a bit the same - when I did the original post, I only referred to WK as the man in the 'Sorry' video as that was what was relevant to the board. Someone else changed the title to add 'porn star'. Although I understand the argument that porn stars shouldn't be ashamed of what they do, I wouldn't have posted the naked pics as I feel it a bit odd to lust after someone who's barely in the grave - perhaps a separate post to remember his work in the Lounge section would be better... I wonder if M knew about it. If she does, it's nice that she hasn't made a big show of knowing a dead porn star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 To be honest I thought he was gorgeous in the Sorry video but he looks like a totally different person in other pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
