Melissa Hill has commented on the closure of PWL, expressing shock and referencing Alex Mayers. The closure comes amidst ongoing discussions regarding individuals targeted by Ari Bass, also known as Michael Whiteacre, and past interactions involving Hill.

PWL Closure and Reactions

Melissa Hill, identified by the Twitter handle @MeIHill_RAWTALK, stated she is "still in a state of shock" regarding the closure of PWL. Hill also commented on Alex Mayers, suggesting that "being @AlexMayers right about now, must feel pretty amazing!!" However, a separate perspective noted that the closure does not resolve Mayers's debts, stating she is still indebted for "hundreds of thousands" and "still lives with her mother with no prospects of ever leaving." This perspective also indicated that while Mayers's wikis are gone, "the new owners paid good money for all of that." It was also stated that PWL was not closed for legal reasons, as it "never broke the law." The perspective questioned Mayers's potential to "feel amazing," suggesting she "should feel like a broke loser that sat back until BB rescued her." This perspective described the situation as "a bittersweet moment for Ms. Foster because she is still a fucking loser that has no husband or boyfriend and is barren, no prospects and hundreds of thousands in debts." It concluded by questioning if PWL was "that big of a thorn in her side" and suggested observing if Mayers's life improves, implying that if it does not, "PWL was not to blame for the sorry state of her life."

In earlier comments, Hill addressed individuals she referred to as "whore hunters" and "assholes" on PWL. She stated, "@MeIHill_RAWTALK Hey assholes! I don’t give a shit! What part of “my relatives are dead”, do u not understand!?? Go ahead, & go to “my dad’s” house! He’s dead! Oh! And the house was sold! But good job on creating a tourist stop in SLZ. while there, can u find my Star Wars collection? Thanx" Another post from Hill stated, "@MeIHill_RAWTALK Seriously guys…. your little “secret society” over on PWL, is a JOKE! Its a group of bitter guys, who were rejected somehow, during some point in your lives. You’re a group of nimrods who revel in the fact that you’re intent on destroying the women who told you “No!” Hill also commented on her family, stating, "@MeIHill_RAWTALK And yeah, my mom’s a bitch! So have fun with that one! My sisters? Well they’re drunk assholes who push around the men in their lives …. So please, be my guest! Tell me how it works out for y’all…"

Allegations of Harassment and Activism

Melissa Hill and Shelley Lubben have both highlighted "extreme ABUSE pornstars endure" and have reported being "stalked, harassed and threatened by Ari Bass aka Michael Whiteacre." Alexandra Mayers stated she has "known for many years that Ari Bass aka Michael Whiteacre is dangerous" and has "dealt with his threats, stalking, bullying, harassment, defamation and his attempts at discrediting my research." Mayers also reported dealing with "his gang of associates who nearly pushed me to suicide" and "his relentless attempts to destroy my personal and professional reputation."

Mayers noted that Diana, known as Desi Foxx, "faced the same problems stemming from Bass" and "survived." January Seraph, who was "consistently targeted by Bass aka Whiteacre upon her attempting to address and rectify (via political activism and the launch of a sort of “union” for pornstars and sexworkers) certain problems within the adult entertainment industry," died "shortly after she was targeted by Bass." Nica Noelle, described as a friend of January, "was bullied into silence" but "is still alive today very quietly working as a director within the pornography industry." Nick East, an "ex pornstar" and "mainstream screen writer," "attempted to speak out in regards to adult industry performer civil rights," but Bass and his associates "strategically pushed him into quietly walking away from furthering his activism and public speaking about the dangers of pornography." Mayers also stated that Ari Bass, also known as Michael Whiteacre, "intensely stalked, bullied, harassed and attempted to discredit Christian and anti-porn activist Shelley Lubben to the day of her untimely death this year." Mayers expressed belief that Bass's "efforts directly led to her death" and "personally wonder[s] if her death was in actuality a murder."
