Dakota Skye, real name Lauren Kaye Scott, posted the photo on May 4 where she posted topless next to the mural in Santa Barbara, California with the caption, “Happy #GeorgeFloyd day in #santabarbara <3 #dakotaskye equality&fair treatment for all. Dope mural.” After the post was uploaded on her now deleted Instagram page, Scott faced backlash from her followers who asked what did being partially nude have to do with the murder of George Floyd and called it tasteless. Scott said she posted the photo as a form of awareness about “celebrating BAD cops being checked with abusing their authority against human beings.”
Los Angeles authorities reported that the porn star’s body was found by her husband inside their motorhome on Wednesday and a cause of death is currently unknown.

Close sources to Scott said she was dealing with alcohol addiction, and growing up in an abusive household. “Lauren was a product of a highly dysfunctional family involving drugs, alcohol, physical, emotional, verbal and sexual abuse,” her aunt said. She also lost two relatives to COVID-19 last year and her mother died exactly to the date in 2019.
