She made a bad decision but wow do people have to really harass her to the point of suicide? Maybe she needed the money not condoning what she did but neither am I condemning her for it. Wow! Then again maybe she should of just ignored the assholes. Story:


Alyssa Funke, a straight-A student at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, committed suicide last month after being bullied and harassed online over her choice to appear in pornography. Local police have said they don't plan to press charges against anyone who taunted Funke.

Funke, 19, had recently appeared in a porn film at the website CastingCouch-X. According to KMSP, after former classmates from her high school in Oak Park Heights, Minnesota, discovered the video, they began sending her abusive messages through Twitter and Facebook.
Her last tweets before her death were on April 14 and 15, appearing to mock those harassing her online:

On April 16, Funke completed suicide at a boat landing on Big Carnelia Lake, 26 miles from River Falls and 9 miles from Oak Park Heights.

KMSP reports Funke's family did not want to speak on camera, but said they believe the cyberbullying played a significant role in her decision to end her life. The Washington County Sheriff's Office told the station that it does not think the taunts rise to the level of criminal harassment. The investigation is still ongoing.

The Daily Dot reports that her family launched The Alyssa Stop Bullying Fund, which raised $165 in the 19 days it was active.

Funke's death follows the widely covered harassment of Belle Knox, a Duke University freshman who appeared in pornographic films and was harassed by students on campus after she was publicly identified. Knox had even appeared on the same couch for the same website. But she became very open about her porn career in spite of what Knox has referred to as "a culture of slut-shaming and rape apology."

Many porn actresses say they struggle to protect their privacy. One former college student who was outed several years ago on her campus for an amateur porn even asked The Huffington Post not to identify the school she attended, out of concern it would lead to further harassment online.

Funke was a first-year biology student at UW-River Falls.

You feel sorry for her?

She is white, in the USA and did not struggle for money and yet she did porn with one of the worst companies you could do it with and become shocked that people found out about it?

Its 2014, people watch porn and you will be seen. Dumb ass

Dude no way, I'm a big fan of casting couch x and Backroom casting couch! What a loss, she had so much potential in porn.

Just finished downloading her one hit wonder, just in case it gets removed off the site, I recommend you do the same. R.I.P. ALYSSA

Nice tits.

I'd assume all porn actors and actresses were known? Maybe the reality of it was way too much for her to handle and the bullying, well, that was the final contribution to her overwhelmed mind. Sad.

The adult entertainment industry is over saturated. It has become commonplace for people to go and do a film here and there. You are exploited as a piece of meat and then tossed out. You sign away any chance you have at anonymity online. There is a correlation with porn actors to suffer from depression and regretting their activity.

Ices, you dont know the first thing about the young girl or what it must have been like for her. 18 year olds do not think of how doing porn will affect their future. Most 18 year olds cant even see past next week.

Slut-shaming pisses me off. You know EVERY one of those jerks who bullied her watched porn. When are we going to get over this stupid puritannical madonna/whore nonsense? Women,like men are sexual beings. People like to watch sex online. People are employed to provide that service.As long as no one is forced into doing acts outside their comfort zone,and they are appropriately compensated,who the fuck has the right to get on their moral high horse about it?It's noteworthy that ugly ass Ron Jeremy has been doing porn for 3 decades & he's treated like a fucking king.Goddamn double standard.Maybe she wanted that money to put herself thru' college? I hope the fucktards who bullied her have their dicks go permanently limp,and if female get permanent vagismus.Losers.
