Startling footage showed Dustin Gold hurl racist slurs in New York City. (Screen captures via Twitter)
A white gay porn star who launched a vile, racist rant at a sanitation worker has been dropped by his studio following bubbling backlash, it was announced on Twitter Tuesday (July 21).
Justin O’Brian, whose on-screen name is Dustin Gold, was filmed by pedestrians verbally assaulting the worker – hurling racist slurs at them– before physically assaulting a pedestrian who filmed the altercation.
New York City council candidate Anthony Beckford shared the startling footage on social media, resulting in stinging criticism being aimed at O’Brian, including pressure for his employer, Helix Studios, to drop him as a client.
And that the studio did. In response to a Twitter user demanding O’Brian be fired, Helix Studios confirmed his contract has been cut.
All of Joe’s films need to be removed.

“Dustin Gold has been fired,” the studio wrote. “He hasn’t worked for us since 2014 and we will not use him in the future.”
Beckford then called on the studio to wipe all of O’Brian’s films from the studio’s website.
Gay porn star hurls the N-word at sanitation worker before hurling someone’s phone for recording his racist rant.
“Hey yo,” O’Brian shouted, reportedly at a sanitation worker whose car was parked in the road.
“It’d be smart to get out of the middle of the street a**hole!” he shouted after getting out of his car. “F**king n****r.”
Back in his car, O’Brian then noticed a pedestrian filming him on his phone. “Are you recording me? he asked. “Why?”
“‘Cause you’re an a**hole,” the man recording hit back.
Racist on the Upper East Side. Find out who this racist person is and let us hold them accountable. This and any other act of racism will NOT be tolerated.
As City Council Member of #District45, I will be holding these racists accountable.https://t.co/41nCXEP0Fq pic.twitter.com/ariaOSFGF4

“I’m an a**hole?” the motorist rebutted. “Honey, look in the mirror, okay? The only person that’s an a**hole is you for recording me.”
The pedestrian responded: “Oh, so you’re fierce?”
“I know I am, thank you,” the O’Brian said. “Are you gay too? No you’re not?
“Well, you look like it. Do you want to keep recording me having fun? What are you gonna do with this recording, tell me.”
The pedestrian then explained he will upload the footage online, which O’Brian dismissed: “Oh, OK, bye-bye,” he said.
However, the pedestrian stood his ground, the footage showed, leading to O’Brian threatening to “beat the s**t out” of him.
The O’Brian then leapt out of his vehicle, assaulted the man and then hurled the phone across the street.
