I was talking about the Houstons and the Jacksons turning those tragedies into the basis for their various reality shows.

More or less we know that Alex took his own life, it appears that gayporn contributed very little in the chronical depression Alex was suffering.

Not new, but when Falcon did that they weren’t under a current controversy over mistreating models. What Helix did is even worse, especially considering Alex was directly involved in one of the incidents being addressed.

Falcon pulled the same tactless tactic with the loss of Jay Dymel and the other guy whose name I forgot, so unfortunately this is not new.

It’s disgusting. The least Helix could have done is abide by what they tweeted and allowed his family the respect and privacy they deserve following his death, and thus kept his un-released scenes un-released until much later on. It’s not as if they have no content to release. Really leaves a sour taste in your mouth. And then to read Dallas’ tweet about him leaving Helix… the hits just keep on coming.

Pretending a model is still alive so you can cash in on his image is tacky. The thing with Sean at CF isn’t the same. They didn’t rush to release whatever other Sean scenes they had the day his death was announced. Helix did that with Alex. And this is now the second scene they’ve released. And they released it before a major holiday while they currently have a sale going on. You don’t need a playbook on how to be a fairly decent person. Given all the accusations surrounding Helix and their treatment of the models who are alive, their casual attitude about a popular model’s death is not a good look.

And we do criticize record companies to try to cash in on an artist’s death or their fame. Look at how the Jackson and Houston families were rightfully dragged after Michael and Whitney’s death.

They used a recently dead model to sell their latest sale. That’s disgusting.
