Shocking revelations of a traumatic childhood filled with sexual abuse and drug addiction were made public just weeks before adult film actress August Ames was found dead in southern California earlier this week.

The starlet's brother also lashed out at social media bullies shortly after learning of his younger sister's death, saying the online abuse led to her demise.

Ames, whose real name was Mercedes Grabowski, was found dead in Camarillo, California on Tuesday.

The Ventura County Medical examiner confirmed the 23-year-old's death. Its report stated that she had died of asphyxiation due to hanging.

Sources close to Ames told the The Blast that the brunette bombshell to depression.

That source of sadness may have stemmed from a troubled childhood, with Ames telling friend and podcast host Holly Randall weeks earlier that she had been sexually abused when she was a child, according to Radar Online.

'I have an awful relationship with my dad,' Ames told Randall. 'I tried to forget about it and talk to him about how I was feeling about my childhood and everything, because there was a lot of sexual molestation — not from my father but from his [redacted] — so I had to suffer from being molested by my [redacted]. When I finally told my dad, he didn't believe me,' she explained to Randall on September 13.

The issue was never resolved,' Ames continued. 'All my life I grew up a liar by my dad and his side of the family.'

Ames also recounted her first experiences with narcotics, telling Randall that the father of a child she was babysitting offered her cocaine if she would strip naked.

'Some days I'll be fine, and if I'm not doing anything I'll get these awful flashbacks of my childhood and I get very depressed and I can't get out of bed and cancel my scenes for like a week or two,' Ames admitted.


Meanwhile, James Grabowski said he was still reeling over the sudden death of his baby sister, telling The Sun newspaper that he blames cyber bullies for pushing her over the edge.

'I want my sister's death to be recognized as a serious issue – bullying is not ok,' he said. 'It cost me my baby sister's life.

'I will do what I can be a voice for Mercedes but right now my family and I need to be left alone to grieve – we have lost a loved one.'

Ames recently suffered a torrent of online abuse after posting on Twitter that she would not be doing a scene with a male performer who had previously done gay porn.

The online incident may have triggered the suspected suicide, sources close to the Ames said.

On December 3, Ames posted a message reading: 'whichever (lady) performer is replacing me tomorrow for @EroticaXNews, you're shooting with a guy who has shot gay porn, just to let cha know. BS is all I can say. Do agents really not care about who they're representing? #LAdirect I do my homework for my body.'
