Going out on a limb here, but if this is “Dustin Gold,” his porn days must have been several years ago.
Here’s a sad example that there’s a jerk in just about every demographic.
A video shared on social media shows a confrontation between a driver and a pedestrian escalate to violence after the driver realized he was captured on video calling a Black sanitation worker a “f*cking n****r.”
The incident took place on New York City’s Upper East Side over the weekend. After shouting the racist slur, the driver noticed a pedestrian was recording the ugliness.
“Are you recording me?” asked the driver.
“Yeah,” says the pedestrian.
“Why?” the driver asks.
In a pretty spot-on assessment, the pedestrian replied, “Because you’re an a**hole.”
“I’m an a**hole? Honey, look in the mirror, okay? The only person who is an a**hole is you for recording,” says the racist driver.
During the exchange, the motorist asked the pedestrian, “Are you gay, too?”
“Too?” Oh god, he’s gay. Dang it…
“No,” the pedestrian replies.
“No, you’re not? Well, you look like it,” the driver snaps back.
When the pedestrian shares he plans on uploading the video to the internet, the driver scoffs, “Okay, I’ll get fans, honey. That’s what I’ll do.”
It’s at that point the driver exits his car and assaults the pedestrian. Along the way snatches the phone recording the incident and hurls it to the ground.
The driver probably thought he’d solved his internet problem, except others nearby noticed the exchange and were recording as well.
The YouTube poster writes that prior to the beginning of the clip, the driver “was repeatedly shouting at a Black sanitation worker, yelling “you’re a n*****”. The noise was enough for several residents to come down to street level.”
Folks in the Twitterverse were NOT having the hideous behavior.
Racist on the Upper East Side. Find out who this racist person is and let us hold them accountable. This and any other act of racism will NOT be tolerated.
As City Council Member of #District45, I will be holding these racists accountable.https://t.co/41nCXEP0Fq pic.twitter.com/ariaOSFGF4

Stand by for the inevitable apology tour including “that’s not who I really am.”

Another Trumpster who knows the party is OVER as he loses in Nov.

This breaks my heart. As a gay man he should know how hard we have fought and continue to fight for our rights and he should be on the right side of history by lifting up black people instead of using racial slurs. I am ashamed of him and I’m ashamed he is part of my community.

To add to the disgust, irony, stupidity, whatever you may call it, TheGailyGrind shared this about Joe O’Brien and his Facebook:
In the series of photos uploaded on Thursday, July 16, Joe appears to be the guest speaker at an LGBTQ event for children. According to the post: “MARLSON 4 BACKYARD SUMMER CAMP: The THEME of our camp is BE KIND. Today we welcomed a VERY special guest, Joe O’Brien, who spoke about GROWING UP GAY: Challenges & Acceptance…and the importance of KINDNESS. Joe gave a very powerful and heartfelt talk and stressed the importance of BEING KIND and ACCEPTING of ALL people. Our follow-up activity was painting KINDNESS ROCKS which will be part of tomorrow’s FIELD TRIP FRIDAY. As an added bonus Holly O’Brien also joined us at camp today.”
And with that, Helix Studios has cut ties with the “actor”, stressing that O’Brien had not worked for them since 2014.
