The Rise and Fall of a Disgraced Adult Industry Blogger: Mike South's Downfall

James Sterling · 2026-07-18

Most of you probably don't remember Mike South, also known as Michael Thomas Strother or Tom South. He used to run a site named after himself, which tells you something about the guy. He was a chronic liar, making up stories just for clicks, and he constantly sided with people the adult industry considered enemies. Then one day, he told one too many lies about people with deep pockets. Before long, his site was no longer his, and he was run out of the business. I kind of liked having him around, honestly. He was easy to make fun of, one of those rare folks who doesn't realize how clueless they are. ### The Self-Absorbed Blogger Now, no one likes Strother as much as Strother likes himself. The guy really thinks he's someone special. He was a blogger, and a bad one at that. But according to a recent Facebook post, he claims people recognize him and ask for autographs. That's hard to believe, especially when you consider the real stars in the industry. ### Real Stars vs. Wannabes I've sat in restaurants with names like Abella Danger, Lily Labeu, London Keys, Kayden Kross, Jesse Jane, Dakota Skye, Riley Steele, and about 20 other adult film performers. Not once did anyone come up and ask them for an autograph. Yet somehow, this buffoon thinks people give a damn about him at hockey games. It's laughable. ### Lessons from the Fall - **Lies catch up with you**: Strother's habit of making things up eventually cost him his platform. - **Overconfidence can backfire**: Believing your own hype often leads to a hard fall. - **The industry moves on**: No one is irreplaceable, especially when you burn bridges. ## Related Posts - Humiliated Blogger Mike South Edits Post After Receiving Letter From Attorney For Man He Defamed - Disgraced Blogger Mike South Caught In Even MORE Lies - Who Needs The Truth When You're Mike South?
