As people around the world are protesting the murder of George Floyd and police brutality against people of color, OnlyFans star Billy Santoro decided to stage a counterprotest of sorts on his social media page.
Yesterday, he wrote: “Lol. America! Lol you let your blacks loot as a way of protest. Wake the f*ck up. Shoot first.”
It didn’t take long before Santoro saw his various social media platforms begin disappearing, starting with his JustForFans page, which issued a statement afterwards confirming it had deleted his page in response to his remarks.
And here we had a good day so I put my phone away to actually take a night off. And then I checked the phone to see all the messages. His account is gone. Policing is a slippery slope and we won’t be puppets to cancel culture. This was not debatable though. It was vile. BLM.

OnlyFans and Twitter quickly followed suit.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Just before his Twitter account was temporarily suspended, Santoro insisted he’s “not racist” then claimed his remarks were an emotional response a friend who died in Philly.
“A friend of mine was killed during the looting in philly and I lashed out full of emotional stress,” he wrote. “Those who know me know I am not racist. I am hurt by the loss of my friend.”

A few minutes later, he followed that up with a half-hearted apology in which he claimed he’s had many lovers who were people of color.
“I sincerely apologize for hurting the POC with my statement,” he wrote. “I have fallen in love with many poc and understand the frustration.”
I sincerely apologize for hurting the POC with my statement. I have fallen in love with many poc and understand the frustration.

Santoro’s Twitter page has since been reactivated. His other pages remain dark.
Our friends at Cocktails and Cocktalk also note that, just hours before Santoro insisted he wasn’t racist, he posted a racist response to a Wisconsin restaurant’s statement on Black Lives Matter, writing: “Or the blacks will just breed more hatred towards them.”
A number of people have spoken out against Santoro’s remarks and aren’t buying his apology.
Billy Santoro is garbage.

Y’all it’s time to cancel this fool . Billy Santoro is straight up racist and called for the deaths of Fellow People of Color. If you are a person of color and consider yourself of fan of his , you need to reconsider and unfollow immediately.

I'm very proud of being half his size and still bulldozing Billy Santoro during kickball. I hope my being Black made him extra mad

Do not follow porn actors like billy santoro who choose cynicism and racism. There are so many better/kinder people to fap it to.

Queerty has reached out to Santoro for comment. We will update this post if we hear back from him.

Wow… this is why I’m so distrusting of most gay white men. The seething hatred that boils beneath the surface only requires a prick of a pen to unleash.
Hermes in DC
Okay Black Pegasus, you get the benefit of the doubt because I can only imagine what prejudice you have been subjected to as, presumably, a black gay man.
But your comment strikes me as prejudicial and biased too. At the foundation of white racism is blanket thinking about a whole group of people based on their skin color.
Seems to me you’re making a very similar across-the-board judgment about “most gay white men” based on their skin color and orientation.
If we’re going to do better, the best among us have to lead.
Donston
Black Pegasus only seems to post to attack people. While half of his posts have an undercurrent anti-gay and internalized homophobia. I actually do understand where his suspicions and distrust are about and where they’re coming from. But when you’re that unrelentingly bitter, bitchy, dismissive and lacking nuance it’s hard to take you seriously or see you as anything but a Bitter Betty.
Cam
Oh please, your whole shtick here is to defend anti-LGBT bigots and Republicans, and the REAL Black Pegasus bitched about a rightwing troll stealing their screename a while ago.
Donston
I figured that it wasn’t the “real” BP. Way too much of a personality shift.

@Donston
I’ve already added Cam to the list of comments I’ll IGNORE because he’s akin to a barking chihuahua. If you want your comments included on that list I’ll happily comply. I can navigate this site and give my thoughts on various articles without giving one single f**ck about neither of you, yet you gurls are heavily triggered by me! So unless you want your stress levels continually raised I suggest you skip past my comments. Do it for your health. lol
frapachino
Imagine if someone here said “ that’s why I’m so mistrusting of most gay black men”! Also Santoro is not white he’s Latin! Oh and lastly you are a vile racist!
Donston
So, you don’t deny that you took someone’s identity? Nor do you deny that your posts are mostly contentious, one-note and often has a basis of homophobia? Okay. Nobody here can raise my stress levels btw.
Kangol2
Dear racist @frapachino, I know it’s hard for you to grasp, but Latinx is an ethnicity, while White signifies race. A Latinx can be of any race, including White, and the majority of Latinxs in this country–don’t be shocked, just look at the Census–consider themselves White. On top of which, Billy Santoro considers himself “Caucasian.” Don’t misidentify him, girl!
Donston
“OnlyFans star”? I guess that’s a thing. Or do you guys just take the thing someone is most known for and place “star” behind it. I’m sure he’s probably not that popular even by OnlyFans standards.
What a disgusting thing to say. But he got the attention he was looking for. I pay no mind to these porn performers/internet sex workers. Everything they present is just about seeking validation, seeking attention and wanting folks to give them money. They get off on being outrageous and “subversive” no matter who they may offend or hurt. (Sorta like our current head chief). It’s really not worth giving credence to.
Dick Mayhem
I hear you. Star. Hmmm.
WSnyder
Start making the rounds asking for any and all studios as well as any site that has his videos available, to have them taken down immediately and posting explanations why. The LGBTQ+ community must stand up against this type of hate as we have an inkling of what these words mean and what they can do.
Brian
I know that whenever I post something emotional in response to a friend’s murder, I always begin with LOL, so I totally believe this guy.
Cam
OMG!! I missed that! (Mic Drop)
Chrisk
I agree that looters should be shot. Black, white, yellow, brown, whatever. Most don’t give a shit about Floyd anyways.
Protesters should be commended though.
Dick Mayhem
Murdered for shoplifting and property damage. That’s most of the looting I see in the media.
Cam
One good thing about Trump’s idiocy is that his idiot followers think they are as immune as he is from blowback to racism.
Let them expose themselves as much as possible before the Orange Hitler goes to jail.
The worst thing about this douchebag is he apparently tried to use the excuse that he has slept with POC before. The ultimate Romantic White Savior complex douche excuse.
Alex_S
So, every time a hook up with an Afro-American guy on Grindr I should feel guilty for being a white guy lusting for Afro-American d*ck? If I’m a dominating top should I excuse myself for topping an Afro-American dude? Is it still allowed at all?
Cam
@Alex_S
Awwww, it’s cute you try to purposely misunderstand.
But let’s spell it out for you. If you sleep with an African American guy, and later say something racist, you don’t get to use that as a defense.
QJ201
He should just be honest and say he shouldn’t tweet when tweaked
charlie_jackpot
Santoro is a crap porn actor with a small dick
buzzwoof
Bryan Hawn, another gay instathot and onlyfans star, is just as toxic and racist as Billy Santoro. Search his name on Twitter and see how gross his views are.
iminheatlikeacat
Unlike American police, 2020 is so far an equal opportunist in dragging anyone down. We love to see it.
DCHomos
Billy has BEEN racist for YEARS. And y’all KNOW that. And you put up with it.
Good riddance.
Donston
You assume that most pay attention to what these porn performers and sex workers say and do. Some folks just view that stuff as wank-off material and don’t care otherwise, which is really the best approach. Because almost every time we hear from one of them it tends to be some messy, problematic sh*t. Scamming, racism, internalized homophobia, straight/non-homo-leaning worship and superiority, severe mental illness, drug addictions and of course extreme narcissism seem rampant. And a lot of them seem to feed into negativity and ignorance and feed off it. I’m not judging what they do, but it’s really isn’t worth paying any mind to those folks.
Cam
You assume we all know who this guy is, and beyond that, follow him on social media and read all of his posts.
DiamondsR4Never
Saying he’s not racist because he has had many lovers who are POC, is like a child molester saying he’s not pervert because all his best friends are kids.
Donston
There are racist and colorist folks who have sex with and/or date black people. There are homophobic and anti-gay people who have sex with and/or date their same sex (many of which are gay-identifying themselves).
There are transphobic people who have sex with and/date trans people. There are misogynists who date women, misandrists who date men. I don’t know why so many folks believe who they date or admit to sexually engaging with has any bearings on their morals and prejudices. It don’t mean sh*t.
DiamondsR4Never
You’re absolutely right. One of the things is that irks me the most when it comes to race and sex, is the people who go around thinking it’s not racist to say they want / love big black d*ck…. Not only is it racist, it’s worse than that. It’s dehumanization. And the way pornography plays on racial profiling and stereotypes… Don’t even get me started,
