Gucci3rdleg became the protagonist of a scandal that was in the process of unfolding, with allegations that he knowingly exposed multiple partners to the sexually transmitted infection HSV-2. Such allegations first came about after he made his reveal in a livestream featuring a popular streamer by the name of Adin Ross, saying he had HSV-1.
During the stream, Gucci3rdleg shared his test results from earlier this year, which proved that he had, in fact, contracted HSV-1. The virus is known for causing cold sores and is particularly prevalent among the global population. He said that HERPs is very common and does not indicate a current infection; instead, it means that it could have been lying dormant for a very long period of time.
But he chose to disclose it on such a big platform that calls attention to his health and, more importantly, to the greater issue of celebrities speaking out about their medical conditions. Gucci3rdleg aimed to normalize the discussion on sexually transmitted infections through his disclosure and knit possible misconceptions about HSV-1.
Well, this was a revelation, but it came at a period when the rumors concerning Adin Ross and his possible STDs were really high. The rumors started after Ross himself joked about the probability of him getting infected after being intimate with Sky Bri, the adult star. Sky Bri shut the speculations down, that person is innocent and has nothing to do with either Gucci3rdleg or those winds of STD rumors surrounding Ross.
Things got even more complicated when another adult performer, Danae Davis, came forward with accusations against Gucci3rdleg: he knowingly exposed her and others to a different herpes strain, HSV-2, responsible for causing the infections of one’s privates, without disclosing his status. These accusations added a layer of controversy to the already unfolding drama, as Davis chided Gucci3rdleg for never disclosing his health condition prior to their dealings-a very ethical call into question of transparency and responsibility within the adult industry.
It was the timing of Gucci3rdleg on such a huge platform as Adin Ross’ live stream with viewers in their millions that only continued to drive the online discourse into overdrive. Some people praised such honesty and openness by Gucci3rdleg, while others criticized the lack of seriousness concerning the disclosure and allegations. With a mix of humor, rumors, and some serious allegations, this was definitely an explosive moment not just within the adult entertainment community but also in the world of streaming.
