RIP Brandon Iron

looks like our friend Brandon took his own life, BIH
http://mikesouth.com/porn-stars/performe...-suicide-49163/

Brandon was always struck me as a forever alone incel that figured a way to "game the system" (paying women for sex) -- that coupled with his financial struggles finally took its toll (psychologically speaking).

too easy

Hmmm, Mike South is a pretty shitty source. I am asking some mutual friends and will report back if I get a solid answer. He may well have just shut down responding to social media and is laying low.
Although we separated on very hostile terms, I sure hope this is fake news.

Moblem will find out...

Does anyone know if he still has family in Calgary.

at his core Brandon was a sadist that got off (immensely I might add) on abusing/exploiting/assaulting women. good riddance chimp mouth!

The guys dick was bigger than he was
He got paid to fuck women as hard as he wanted in the ass mouth and cunt

I am going to embrace my inner rightwing fascist and ask the question

What the fuck did he have to be depressed about?

I guess living a completely empty life with no inner reflection does lead to destruction

His brother lives here. I could ask. I hope it's bullshit. But I wouldn't be surprised.

What transpired, Faceblaster? Or is it not worth revisiting?

I accused him half-jokingly of being the host for DL and Joe Blow's wikiporn crimes, or at least sitting on the knowledge that DL was behind it all while the panic ensued. He over-reacted by banning me from this site. (even though he had the option to simply delete the posts or call/write me directly)
Every one of his replies left the door open for me to tease him some more and of course, I did. He panicked and posted a bunch of stuff in violation of site's policies and got booted from moderator status and then eventually booted off the site.
To this day, I still believe he knew what Joe and DL did and kept his silence while others were exposed and put at risk.

BI felt the porn world owed him a living, and when the tubes took that revenue down from a stream to a trickle, he became enraged and bitter. Unable to adjust his business to the new income model, he stewed in his own anger and resentment.

I thought he was happy in his domestic situation in Ireland and had moved on, but apparently that was not so. A source who saw him in A'dam last fall told me BI was miserable and complaining. I responded that he was always pissing and moaning, but neither of us had any idea how seriously depressed he must have been. Sad ending to this story, unfortunately.


tl:dr version...doxing and banning

are you gonna confirm his death or what?

Brandon is not banned. Nor, apparently is he dead, at least not according to any of the Irish death registries a couple of us have checked.

He got a few timeouts, post-demodding, simply to let him know how it felt. (He also tried to ban me when I called him out for banning FB). But his long absence is entirely self-imposed.

My guess: He started the rumor of his own death to revive his flagging sales. Or had "Monsieur" do it. If he faked his death to get back on this site, it was wholly unnecessary, like most of Brandon's shenanigans.

Terrible if true. Hope not.

RIP, brutha.

Only thing dead are his sales.

I dont know. Ya read where they cant find em to pay him? Only way BI and waitin by the mailbox for a check, or clickin refresh like a motherfucker to see the # in his account change is dead or in jail.

Yeah, which is why I question the article's veracity in the first place.

In fairness, we only checked the Irish death registries. We didn't check the jails. But even then I have huge doubts about the whole thing. You think BI, of all people, doesn't have some kind of direct deposit thing going on? I'm pretty damn sure I remember him gloating about checking his online deposits from Manyvids. IIRC, he was gloating about them when he was trying to re-negotiate with JM. So this whole "we can't find him to pay him" schlock is just that, as I see it. Direct depositors only need to confirm it hit his account, and that doesn't require a personal confirmation.

Another thing that augurs against it being true, besides the utter unlikelihood that BI doesn't have direct deposit? Monsieur's too-eager rush to "confirm" a Mike South story:

Confirmed by Mike South

Dude put out some nice work, I never know why guys like him, John Doe, Bill Bailey, Billy Glide and on and on are so unhappy. Damn, they get to pound first rate pussy and pussy that is free for the taking. Never understand the psych of these dudes.

From what I've read, it sounds like he went through a recent break-up/had an unhappy domestic situation. Happens all the time.

His brother lives here. I'm really on the fence about hollering. BI and I had some private exchanges (he lived here too at one point etc.)

Some sad news to report in this update: friends of veteran adult performer / director Brandon Iron (a.k.a. Brandon Irons) and the mother of his child confirm that the AVN Hall of Famer died by his own hand in Ireland in July.

Iron had recently gone through a break-up with the mother of his child. Some say she kicked him out of the house and found a new man. Brandon soon went MIA.

After friends and business associates began expressing concern because they could not reach Iron, his ex went looking for him and found him dead in a loft. She states that Iron had hanged himself.

A memorial is planned, but details are not yet available.
The native of Calgary, Alberta, Canada was born 51 years ago, on July 14, 1968.

Mike South couldn't confirm his own existence in a mirror.

I'll believe it when I see it from a source a bit more credible than "XXXReporter", who quotes no one directly, and doesn't even state whether he spoke to the ex directly, or got this story second (or third) hand.

There's still nothing in any official or semi official source that I've seen. No death notices. No news blurbs regarding diseased dwarfs found hanging in lofts. And, tellingly, no body. And the story keeps changing: First it was March, now it's July.

Until there's a body, or confirmation from a much more reliable source, I'm thinking this is another Hyapatia Lee hoax.

Also, there's this:

Bones, we have a line out to an extremely credible source. If that source confirms it, I will be the first to retract. But given his history, the sock puppets of self promotion, the utter self-absorption and narcissism, can you blame my skepticism?

If it is true, I'm surprised at the method. I'd reckon pills for a guy like him.

And, that extremely credible source just confirmed it. Sorry, but I wasn't taking South's word for it.

For what it's worth this can also be confirmed in the world outside of porn if you search under B.H. not B.I.

Spoke to a relative today. Sadly true. I'm actually pretty upset by this.
A guy I was just starting to get to know hung himself earlier this year . And then a I guy who I ran with in my punk days did the exact same thing 5 days later. Both had kids. It's weird. I felt bad but wasn't really emotional at all. I was choked up today.
I posted a note on his FB when Tom Wolfe died and posted something about Bonfire of the Panties (his first role lol). And he had a small chuckle as did I. I know some folks on here had some hard feelings towards him on here...but save one argument I really liked chatting w him. .I was a subscriber way back and I took a shot and emailed him at his yahoo and account. He got back quick and answered everything I asked him about his business.
When he found out my hometown we had a really nice chat (he lived here for a bit etc) and he couldn't have been more engaging. I don't know if it's Chuck passing too or whatever or the fact he was the same age as me or...I just dunno....man I'm bummed.

RIP, Iron Man.

Well....God
...damnit!!!!!!!!😖

Brandonna was an adolescent mind trapped in a porno world of half-wits, scumbags and drug addicts. For people in porn to call him intelligent or witty is more a disservice to them than to Brandy. His entire world came to revolve around porno. That;s got to be one fucked up existence. So when real life comes crashing in, I imagine it is a shock to the system that some can't deal with.

Like others in pornoland who died oddly, the world will soon forget them. Anyone remember August Ames?

It's got to be one fucked up existence to still be here after all these years practically saying the same repetitive garbage.

Speaking of garbage, how's the fake cancer, Gen?

(RIP Brandon)

Ahhhh well, since Gen's demolished what little decorum was left in this thread I, for one, would like to remember all the humor Brandon brought to this place over the years...


.

Hello, Tiny Whore. How is the dumper doing? I am banned from twitter, so I haven't seen it lately.

You know South no longer has anything to do with the website that bares his name, right? Lost it in a lawsuit. I don't remember who got it but I do recall that dummy Kelli who ruined LIB was writing on it.

Oh Jeez. Kelli's even less credible than Mike, which makes it even more remarkable they got it right for once.

Ask her if she's been on any dates with Tony Malice lately.

Then ask what it's like to get fucked by crossovers Talon, Sean Michaels, and Ben English. Follow-up with a question about licking Rob Longshot's turd cutter, and now close did she get to AIDS with Darren James.

Gen licks turdcutter? Mmmmmm.

I think I have an old vhs of her in one of those Toss My Salad videos where she has to eat out Rod Fontana. That is enough to put a woman in life long therapy.

So sad to hear.

He seemed an arrogant fuck.

RIP dude.

At least the herpes lives on.

Very sad. He was one of the only more well known male performers who would actually interact with lesser known amateur performers like myself, as well as his fans. We dm'd on twitter semi regularly. I didn't know him all that well, but he seemed like a great person to me. R.I.P.

Sorry to heat that since he did interact with fans. Any details available regarding his demise?

Karma is real. I have delighted in 'Throat Gaggers' immensely over the years and fully expect to meet the same end. I pour a forty out for every burst blood vessel in Taylor Hill's eyes.

Apropos mental health, suicide, and the like.

Mental Maladies Affect Talent

holy shit! I have been traveling to Prague for tech conferences and told him I'd buy him dinner if our paths crossed and sadly did not.

if he remembered, he would have waited until after the free meal.

I am sad there wont be an unfunny Canadian humor retort to that.

I was sad to hear about this. He was an interesting guy and I enjoyed his posts. People hated on him here but he held his own, at least for the most part. Sad that there was likely no-one there that was able to help him. RIP dude..

You are spot on.

This resemblance just occurred to me yesterday. I don't know how I missed it:





And...

I'm sure he would have loved this..

He used the name Alec James Hidell on slap happy as director. It was an alias of Lee Harvey Oswald.

I miss Brandon. I will always remember him as a jolly guy, his time at Platinum X Pictures and the guy behind the Rough Sex movies.
