What a bunch of losers for giving a but she's also a weak person. If this was too much for her then she would've had multiple similar roadblocks that she couldn't handle becoming a ing doctor.
The tragic suicide of a teenager harassed for an amateur porn video
“I’m Stella Ann. I’m 18, from Minnesota,” the brunette says into the camera. She wears a beige blouse and speaks in the flat tones of the Midwest. “I want to be a major in biology, minor in chemistry, and I want to be an anesthesiologist,” she adds.
She’s speaking of her real life. But this wasn’t that reality. It was an amateur porn video, posted on a Web site called CastingCouch–X.
And her name wasn’t Stella Ann. It was Alyssa Funke. She was a native of Stillwater, Minn., and a straight-A biology student at the University of Wisconsin at River Falls.
Days after the video was posted in March, derisive messages started to flood her Twitter and Facebook accounts. According to a KMSP-TV report this week, they were mostly from Stillwater High School, which she had attended the year before.
“Wow your a thot,” wrote one, using the slang for pros ute. ”Does her dad know?”
“Nothing brings a school together like a porn star who graduated last year,” another wrote.
Funke was defiant at first. She grew up in a tough home, and had seen trouble before. According to Arizona state prison records, her father, Rashad Bowman, was convicted in 2001 of fraudulent schemes in Maricopa County Court in Arizona. His ongoing incarceration split up the family, and court records describe how she and her father tried to communicate with one another with audio tapes. Since then, Funke has struggled with money and depression, KMSP-TV reports.
“The people that envy & hate you the most, stalk you on social media the most,” she wrote on Facebook after her porn video was posted.
But on Twitter, she affected a different tone. Her tweets vacillated between teen vulnerability — “Clingy, attached, and horny is what describes me i think” — and outright anger. “It’s called Karma and it’s pronounced “haha, f— you!”
On April 14, she tweeted: “Pornstar status.” And: “FAMOUS for dayzzzzzzz.” According to her family, however, her classmates’ taunts wounded her deeply. Later in April, two days after her final tweet, she got ahold of a shotgun and killed herself on her family’s boat, according to KMSP-TV. Details are sparse. Her family did not return phone calls from The Washington Post. At 2 p.m. that day, the University of Wisconsin called her hometown police department to request help checking on the teenager. At 2:30 p.m., the Pioneer Press reports, county deputies found her not far from Big Carnelian Lake near May Township, a small town of about 3,000 outside Minneapolis. Weeks later, her family, who declined to be interviewed on camera, told KMSP-TV they suspected the taunts had played a significant role in Funke’s suicide. They launched “The Alyssa Stop Bullying Fund,” which, sadly, only raised $165. They offered this description of the fund:
"On Wednesday April 16, at the young age of 19 Alyssa Funke took her own life. Alyssa like so many other teens was a victim of bully and sadly the bullying lead to her death. Social media has revolutionized the way people bully each other now days. Now you can say whatever you want and not have to look the person in the face while doing it. This needs to stop! Bullying has cost thousands of young lives every year and we need to do something about it!"
Professionals, psychiatrists and psychologists, often point out that suicide is rarely the result of a single event but rather an ac ulation of troubles. But students at River Falls likewise believe the messages sent to Funke contributed to her suicide. “A lot of people are really negative — troll-y — about it or standing up and saying it shouldn’t happen to people,” one friend told KMSP-TV. “Sad it’s still happening, actually.” Funke’s video, according to KMSP-TV, has not been removed from Casting Couch’s Web site, and the company didn’t return its requests for comment. The local sheriff’s office doesn’t think the messages sent to Funke cons ute criminal harassment, and the investigation is ongoing.

Just another degenerate removed from the gene pool..natural selection at work
Severely troubled young woman
Girls these days are taught that they're en led to 100% approval for everything they do, regardless of how stupid their actions are. When reality hits and they're actually being judged for their actions and their character I'm sure that can be difficult to process for many of them.
Bad form to not give the link for the video.
Although I generally agree with you, I don't really think the problem is that girls are taught that they are en led to approval----pretty much the youth of today have not been taught that they are NOT en led to anything they don't sweat and bleed for.
She might've made more money being the subject of bukakke than being a doctor. Sounds like she wasn't given the grit that comes with a life w/o your pops and should've done the route that all those other porn stars that had daddy issues or daddy sex or whatever degrading thing that caused them to take s for a living.
I've been searching every porn portal Hi and Lo for that ing video...gettting close..I got my Asian detectives on the case
that's a dam shame she let all that s and ass go to waste....just killed the pussy for no reason
Couldn't agree more but the ones giving her a hard time are lame asses tbh
This is a sad story…The girl was very beautiful; "A" student…Had a lot to live for…
even though she was a , she didn't deserve for a band of internet geeks to cyber bully her. at the same time, she should have expected to get some backlash when she decided to get into the porn industry.
Sad story.
I wouldn't have given her a hard time. IMO porners are the female equivalent of miners- it's a dirty job but someone's got to do it.
you could have just visited pornhub and typed in stella ann.
I would've given her something hard besides a hard time...rest in porn.
That's a good analogy, tbh.
I've defended porn stars on here several times, so I don't agree with the "bullies", at all, nothing wrong with being a porn star, tbh..
However, I have no sympathy for people that kill themselves due to social media/cyber bullying..it's the ing Internet, turn your computer/phone/tablet off and move the on..
I assume that some of these suicide cases are people that were already troubled, and decide to this for attention or to make the "bullies" live with the guilt for their rest of their lives, though, to be fair..
rest in porn lmao genious
Would you rather bang before or after the suicide?
i know somebody that went on a casting couch video and her dad actually stabbed her when he found out/saw. she was treated at the hospital and was fine
I'm sorry your sister had to experience that.
Seeing that her family has a boat, she probably did it for fun.
The video, not the brain confetti.
how christian of you
