PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
It has come to our attention that a petition has been started at Change.org, see www.change.org/Mr-Iconic-Award, which urges the organisers of an awards event to disendorse Mr. Iconic of his ‘Australia’s Best Male Porn Star’ title that was bestowed upon him at a recent event.
While we cannot speak to the varsity of the claims made about Mr. Iconic’s behaviour, the Australian Adult Industry Awards™ – A.A.I.A.® does not condone predatory or violent behaviour towards adult industry workers, or the public at large, and supports any initiative which seeks to disendorse (cancel) anyone involved in such behaviour.
The public, and some in the industry, have previously confused the event mentioned in the petition with our event, the Australian Adult Industry Awards™ – A.A.I.A.®. In fact, the A.A.I.A.® is in no way associated with the event mentioned in the petition.
It should be noted that the Australian Adult Industry Awards™ – A.A.I.A.® is now in its 23rd year; the event mentioned in the petition held its first event this year, 2022.
Kind regards,
The Australian Adult Industry Awards™ – A.A.I.A.®
