Porn Star Kagney Linn Karter dead to suicide at 36
Adult film star Kagney Linn Karter — who, according to friends, struggled with mental health — died of an apparent suicide last week, according to a report. She was 36.
Karter died on Thursday in Ohio, according to online records first reviewed by TMZ. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s office received her body that day from an address in the city of Parma.
‘As alone as she undoubtedly felt within the confines of her own head, she continued to make an effort to show up for her friends and the community who cared about her. She fought her own battles with the same tenacity and drive she showed in every other area of her life, with as much strength as she could,’ they said.
‘Unfortunately, despite all of her many impressive accomplishments and talents, Kagney struggled with mental health issues as the years passed by,’ her friends Rachel and Megan said.
Karter started in the pornography industry in the early 2000s and starred in films such as the Official Silence of the Lambs Parody and Not Married with Children XXX.
The star has been nominated several times for Adult Video News awards, though she has not won. She was nominated in 2011 for top female performer of the year. In 2010, she was nominated as best new starlet.
In 2015, Carter claimed musician Chris Brown paid her $2,500 to be his escort. Her claims also include a picture of Brown’s genitals, which eventually got her Twitter account suspended, according to TMZ.
She reportedly tweeted things like ‘I WILL NEVER F*** A WOMAN BEATER EW DISGUSTING’ and ‘HE IS PURE EVIL’ about Brown.
