We’re no experts, but there’s got to be a better place to hash out your disagreements than a public Twitter feud.
Unless, of course, the goal isn’t actually to resolve anything…
Either way, former Helix performers Levi Rhodes and Eli Bennet really got into it after Rhodes accused another performer, Jesse Bolton, of injuring him. If this is already sounding messy, just wait.
According to Str8Up (link not work friendly), Rhodes kicked things off by sharing a selfie with a bloodied eyebrow, claiming Bolton struck him over a fight that was somehow about a cellphone charger and an OnlyFans collaboration between Rhodes and Boltons boyfriend, Jax Thirio:
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.
Bolton shared a different account of events, claiming it was an act of self defense:
But that was just the start of things. After seeing Rhodes’ post, Eli Bennet shared a story (and another bloody face photo) of when Rhodes hit him on a Helix set earlier in the year:
Then Bennet shared that Rhodes used the n-word in response to being called out:
He also posted the actual video:
When I tried to be the bigger person and give you the benefit of the doubt then you wanted to literally be psychotic and harass me? It’s just funny how I wasn’t responding and you kept popping off.

Rhodes fired back with a cringey tweet defending his use of the word in which he claims to be “blood related to African American families” and “Indian, meaning browner than most”:
Only then was Rhodes apparently “done with the drama” for the day:
Afterwards, another performer, Miles Pike, shared screenshots from a conversation with Rhodes about the events. Highlights include Rhodes doubling down on his use of the n-word, becoming indignant over his mis-colored eyes (they’re not blue, they’re “hazel if not green to brown”), and not knowing what “POC” means (“who is poc?”):
Welp I tried to help I really did but here y’all go ? if you truly support fighting racism and misogyny unfollow @LeviRhodesREAL please ? pic.twitter.com/UNCnGLw4uW

Why? Whhhhhhhhyyyyyyy? are white folks so obsessed with black people? What does black America have to do with this argument? LOL…….i can’t.
HenryHawke
Just a few things. First not all white folks are obsessed with blacks. I’m white and, frankly couldn’t care less. I don’t care what color you are. (Except maybe orange. There’s only one orange man that I know of who’s a throughly disgusting individual. But that’s another story.) Second, blacks have absolutely no iron in this fire. Come to think of it, nobody else does either. And third…… I don’t remember. I got a call and whatever it was slipped my mind. Just a question to whoever else reads this. Who the h*ll cares?

Really?? Try living your life responsibly, without melodrama. Show respect for others. Stop your relentless need for media attention and just live your life.

Two twinks battling it out and no one is caring about it.

Ha. I did scroll through it thinking maybe one of them stabbed the other but nope. Not much else to say other then meh..

Seriously.

It is no wonder to me that the straight community does not accept us when we have two CHILDREN acting like spoiled brats in public. Get over it, Mary!
Charlie in Charge
Oh goodness, do you think the straight community doesn’t accept us because twinks get into fights? A lot of milquetoast gay people experience oppression and a lot of young straight celebs have ridiculous fights on social media.
Cam
I love the whole….
“The straight community doesn’t accept us because of this one thing” line.
Just curious. How many straight people are following two gay porn performers that them having a fight is going to turn the tide of the entire nation against us?
Toofie
Who cares what the “straight” community thinks? There are plenty of young straight men and women creating twitter drama.

I thought this was the Enquirer for a moment. What garbage! Yet, I still wasted my time looking at it.

I know sex work is a choice for some and that it should be respected, blah, blah blah, but I can;t help think that drug use, something, that requires quick large sums of cash, might be involved. With Twitter, ‘ anyone can shout anything from the mountainside, so it’s getting tough to take note or care.
I’m glad there were no guns involved, they’re all basically safe, and a few scars here and there along with some hurt feelings might be all that lingers – and of course those porn videos that will probably disappear into the ever growing infinite heap of twink porn.
If they can they should call their mothers or another close relative – if not I hope/wish the community would make resources available. Even the Bel Ami boys need to move on eventually.

It’s interesting because “allegedly” helix introduces their performers to harmful substances.
amanwithanedge
silly queens.
Prinny
Are these 2 even legal?

Messy
jackscott
Such messy stories! What is going on with all these boys from this studio? Maybe people should stop showing bloody pics and act like adults and not fight about foolishness.
Terrycloth
Second paragraph says former Helix performers…either they left or we are just now hearing this and they were let go…some of the boys live in the helix house..don’t know how much supervision.there is….next week they will probably be friends again and beg for their porn jobs back…although there are thousand other boys would would love to take there places if a few already havent….first death of Miles Riley now these twinks fighting..Helix better get on the ball
Joseph1971
Exactly! “Former” being the operative word. Personally I wouldn’t be interested in seeing either of them naked. They need to eat something and get off the pipe.
Joseph1971
It is really sad that two former Helix performers are basically fighting over a phone charger when one of their former coworkers (and btw – leading performers) died last week. You think they might have something to say about that rather then acting like they are in middle school. No wonder they are “former” performers, reduced to doing . FansOnly because no studio would hire these idiots. Like a porn version of “Mean Girls”.
HankHarris
No shame to sex workers, but this is the second time I’ve seen two adult film performers talking about ‘a collaboration’ like they’re talking about the new Supreme drop….
Toofie
Idiot. Just because your in-law or who ever you are related to is a person of color doesn’t automatically make you a person of color.
muscl954
These public pronouncements are proof that the adult film industry is filled with unstable people and the studios exploit them to make money.
Joshua333
I actually think the studios are the ones who try to mix them up. They go in fine and come out a wreck because ‘allegedly’ they’re introduced to harmful substances.
Gay Thomas
I just had to click on this bullshit. Stupid me.
Tombear
I realized something mentally was wrong with these guys because they are porn actors.
Joshua333
It’s actually not that but Helix does “allegedly” abuse physically and mentally.
johnnymcmxxx
I remember a time when Gay porn performers were attractive & not common looking, skinny, pimply & sexless children.
Chrisk
They work for Helix. The skinnier and more child like the better. That’s what there pedo customers demand.

Tommy Anders was hot back in the day. Everyone now looks more and more pre pubescent.
strap2900
This is just immature behavior, gay or straight. But, I have to say this seems to be more common among straight people, especially in the age of Trump.
queerty02
This is like World Star for leprechauns.
irbaboon
Leprechauns?
LumpyPillows
They are tiny fellow. Little, itty, bitty men-boys. If only they had pots of gold, instead of purses of drama.
LumpyPillows
Bitches be bitch-slapping. Drama! Growing up with the option to put it out to the public has its downside. Is the attention really worth it?
butchqueen
Miss Bennet needs to put away the tweezers. Her brows are far too lady-like. She’s ready for Drag Race.

Coincidentally, I recently (and FINALLY) got around to watching “King Cobra”, then I saw the sad news of that Helix boy Riley and his (alleged) suicide, and now this. So I’m feeling a bit OD’d on twink porn right now. The one thing that strikes me as being so odd is that they all live in the same house?! And they’re barely legal kids who probably don’t even have much of a sense of self-identity yet? And to top it all off, they’re involved in adult entertainment (and possibly, escorting)?? The whole mix seems really toxic to me. No wonder they get involved in all this infighting. They’re plagued with issues.
RTG
I stopped reading after the 4th post and just scrolled….still trying to understand how anyone would pay to watch either take off their shirts much less have sex. The whole PEDO angle is sickening.

Not a single winner involved here, including all of us who wasted our time reading about this trash.
