Adult film star Sophia Leone tragically died at 26 years old, according to a GoFundMe page.

Leone’s family found her unresponsive in her apartment home on March 1, the GoFundMe states. The local police department opened an investigation into her cause of death.

101 Modeling, a talent agency for people in the adult film world, also worked with Leone. 101 Modeling posted on X (formerly Twitter), “To be clear, Sophia death is being investigated as a robbery and homicide. We’re going to take time off social media because this is difficult. But we do appreciate seeing the stories from people who knew her. We all agree she was a sweetheart, kind, and gentle. We all love her.”

Who Was Sophia Leone?

Leone entered the adult industry at the age of 18 with many photos being captured of her at the 2016 AVN Awards. She’s worked with many talents in the industry and achieved mainstream success with her social media accounts amassing over 400,000 followers. She was also one of the top performers according to the Adult Entertainment Broadcast Network.

Aside from her professional life, she was a daughter, sister, grand daughter, niece who loved animals. She had three pets, her dog’s name was Charles Barkley, according to her Instagram account that shows pictures of her dog.

“Sophia will be deeply missed but her memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved her. May she rest in eternal peace,” the GoFundMe states.

Leone’s Instagram profile shows her love for Pokémon, her collaborations with other people in the business, and her radiant smile throughout the glamorous photoshoots she participated in.

Sophia Leone’s Passing Marks Another Death From The Adult Film Industry

Sophia Leone’s death marks the fourth tragic incident in the adult industry. In early February, Emily Willis was hospitalized after suffering from cardiac arrest, TMZ reports. Her toxicology reports came back as negative after people originally thought she overdosed. Willis is still in a coma and hasn’t regained consciousness.

In January, the New York Times reported that former-adult-film star turned mainstream actress Jesse Jane died from an apparent drug overdose. In February, Kagney Linn Karter died from suicide, TMZ reported.

 

These Are the Most Dangerous Cities in America

It’s always interesting to see which cities are considered safe and dangerous in the US. It can also be helpful if you’re planning a big move. Now, there’s a new study out that pinpoints the most dangerous cities in America.

The new study comes from Noradarealestate.com. In it, they say, “From gang violence to high levels of property crime, these cities have earned their spots on the list.” Yikes.

Before we get to the crime in each region of the country, let’s look at some of the No. 1s in this study. According to Noradarealestate.com, the “FBI’s most dangerous city” in the West is Stockton, California. In the Midwest, it’s St. Louis, Missouri. Then, in the South, it’s Baltimore, Maryland; and in the Northeast, it’s Hartford, Connecticut. Noradarealestate.com notes that even though these cities are dangerous in the report, “each of these cities has also demonstrated resilience and a commitment to addressing these issues through various initiatives and collaborative efforts. By focusing on community engagement, comprehensive strategies, and investment in socio-economic development, these cities can work towards creating safer, more inclusive, and prosperous communities for all residents.” So, it’s not all dismal. There is definitely hope.

So, what’s the most dangerous city in America? Detroit. “The violent crime index, encompassing homicides, robberies, and aggravated assaults, is alarmingly high,” the study states. “The prevalence of guns and gang activity further exacerbates the issue, making Detroit a concerning place in terms of personal safety.” That said, I love Detroit, and even though it’s good to see which cities are trending up and down in terms of crime, remember that every city has its good and bad areas. So, don’t write these towns off your list because of one study. Find the full study from Noradarealestate.com here.
