CHATSWORTH, Calif.—AVN was contacted last week by a source wishing to remain anonymous who claimed to have discovered the true identity of “Omid,” the notorious anti-porn “troll” responsible for effecting the disablement of more than 500 Instagram accounts to date belonging to adult performers and other adult-related personalities and entities.
In a subsequent meeting with AVN, the source shared a detailed breakdown of findings tracing the accounts with which “Omid” openly harasses adult performers to multiple personal accounts across several social media platforms, as well as documents revealing the online antagonist’s legal name, location and more.
AVN confirms that these findings appear to be valid, but due to certain sensitivity concerns is opting not to publish them here. However, any known adult industry performer or other individual holding an adult-related Instagram account may email [email protected] to privately obtain the personal account handle of the person who goes by “Omid.” It is recommended that this person be blocked from all adult-related accounts and/or reported to Instagram for harassment.
As a reminder, AVN has created an adult industry-tailored social media platform, AVN Stars, free of the restrictions imposed by Instagram and other social networks. All adult industry professionals are encouraged to explore AVN Stars here.
