Seasoned lurkers of the Beauty Parlour are used to trainwrecks, but what happens when you combine steroid use and frequent drug-fueled orgies with disordered personalities? Welcome to Circuit Queen Sideshows on Social Media!
First, some terminology. A circuit queen is a gay man who travels to circuit parties. A circuit party is basically a highly sexual rave for gay men with annoying, pounding electro house music best described as pots and pans relentlessly clanging to a repetitive beat. The gay men who go to circuit parties tend to be between 25 and 45, very fit, and frequently travel for parties because many are weekend-long events with multiple days and nights of dancing. Like other rave scenes, drugs are commonplace - the gays like to use poppers, GHB, and ketamine as well as more traditional rave party favors.
A typical circuit party.
How do guys afford traveling to these events as well as the ridiculous ticket costs? Enter OnlyFans. Since the gays who go to circuit parties are all fit and many already have an online presence, it's not a large leap for a large percentage of them to start making porn - they're just filming the sex they're already having. With the number of guys who do OnlyFans, it's not difficult to film numerous "collabs" during one weekend when not at a circuit party. The circuit lifestyle becomes self-sustaining in this sense, though the associated drugs and drama can take their toll, hence the content in this thread.
The people featured are lolcows because of their narcissistic, psychopathic personalities, drug abuse, and violent tendencies, not because of their porn.
Now let's get into some sideshows!
Thiago Alves, Loc Rios, and Josh Stevenson
Alves posted this days after being cancelled on Twitter for the insanity below.
Thiago Alves, 39, stage name Thiago Lazzarato, is a Brazilian-born circuit queen and content creator with extreme narcissistic and psychopathic traits who many of his fellow internet strippers have had negative experiences with. Alves was cancelled on Twitter in September 2023 after a whirlwind romance with another circuit gay went south. This has it all: domestic abuse, stalking, shitting on someone's stuff as revenge, and way too much botox.

In this video, Loc Rios, a 22-year-old OnlyFans gay, details his three-week whirlwind relationship with Alves. You may be asking, why didn't a nearly 40-year-old man love-bombing him within days of having met send up red flags for Rios? Who knows. But Rios and Alves decided to spend a few weeks together in Spain where they planned to attend circuit parties, and Rios was head over heels. However, the relationship soon soured, with Alves staying out all night to make Rios jealous to get back at him for perceived slights, which soon escalated into an aggressive breakup and confrontation. Rios explains that Alves shoved him, exorbitantly charged him for shared expenses including a scoop of protein powder and some Imodium, and defecated all over his belongings.
This video has amassed 23,000+ likes as of posting this. Alves locked his account shortly after the video was posted. He hasn't responded to many people from the screenshots I've found (I don't follow him so I can't see for myself.)
The Text Version
Rios also posted a text version of his story.
The Second Video
(Tweet/archive)
A day later, Rios uploaded a second video, which featured more audio from the confrontation with Alves, as well as more footage of the havoc Alves caused in their shared lodging, including a good look at a slashed-up bag and Rios' stuff that was defecated on. According to Rios, the police were contacted, but it doesn't seem as though any legal action was pursued. Alves alleges that Rios damaged an expensive Louis Vuitton handbag and wasn't willing to pay for it.
Josh Stevenson's Videos
Because of the first video's virality (not gonna make an HIV joke here, too easy), Twitter users began asking questions of noted botox aficionado Josh Stevenson (stage name Josh Moore), Alves' ex and fellow "content creator", who claimed to have broken up with Alves due to similar episodes of abuse. Stevenson is no stranger to unstable behavior, having once used a guy to help him move, get engaged, then 6 weeks later break up and "retire" from porn (NSFW link, archive), only to begin doing porn again shortly thereafter.
In their relationship, Stevenson alleges he was relentlessly manipulated by Alves, physically assaulted three times, and Alves even smashed his car window in a fit of rage. These videos are boring rambling where Stevenson repeats himself numerous times, but he does explain Alves' jealousy and what led to the violence.
Stevenson says he didn't speak out about Alves' abuse because the relationship ended around the time Alves decided to feign a cancer diagnosis - some believe Stevenson broke it off due to this - and knew the optics wouldn't be good. He said Alves' previous ex pressed charges against him due to the abuse. Now, he has broken his silence, and even claims the Louis Vuitton bag is a knockoff:
Surprisingly, Rios came to Alves' defense in a now-deleted tweet, alleging Stevenson is guilty of stalking Alves after their breakup, which Stevenson denied. Rios also blocked Stevenson on Twitter after Stevenson responded to him.

Alves responded, dropping screenshots of Stevenson harassing him on Grindr during periods the two were separated:
I attached the full text history between Rios and Alves at the bottom of the thread. It's messy and highlights the instability of Alves' personality.
Stevenson also posted this text exchange with Alves after a domestic violence incident:
Now, you're probably curious about the full history between Stevenson and Alves. Well, you're in luck, because Alves dropped an entire Google Drive with a few screenshots of their conversations, as well as his texts with Rios. In this first conversation, Stevenson allegedly goes to a friend's mother's funeral intoxicated, then claims to have been arrested after telling Alves to order cocaine. I'm not sure if this arrest ever happened; I suspect this is an excuse Stevenson used to cover for having a Grindr hookup instead of being home with the possessive and controlling Alves. Alves even calls Stevenson out for staying out too long, likely hooking up, in an earlier incident. The conversation ends with them breaking up due to Stevenson's paranoia.
Let's go back three months to August 2022. Jealousy and mistrust seem to be a recurring theme in their relationship.
Alves omitted three minutes of texts from the Google Drive here. Whatever happened in those three minutes caused Stevenson's paranoia to flip into overdrive.
Stevenson and Alves' relationship was tumultuous, with them breaking up and getting back together days later.
Going back a few months to May 2022 doesn't paint a prettier picture of their relationship.
Days later, the couple were back together.

Gregory Locke
One OnlyFans gay named Gregory Locke's politically-motivated tweets actually cost him his job as a judge in NYC. The story of his firing was picked up and covered in multiple articles by the New York Post. (Article 1/archive) (Article 2/archive) Locke sent nasty tweets at far-right NYC councilwoman Vickie Paladino and mayor Eric Adams.

Paladino saw the comment and reported him to the appropriate city officials who then terminated his employment. Locke responded:

Billy and Gage Santoro
Billy Santoro is a 40-something gay porn star and circuit queen best known for the horrifying, methed-out porn videos he makes in his home sex dungeon. He had a successful porn career for around a decade despite numerous scandals. That all collapsed in 2020 after he talked about shooting black looters, and culminated in a staged breakup and suicide attempt that became a meme. Assume all linked articles and accounts are NSFW.
The Racist Comments
Santoro, real name Bill Gray, has a history of arguably racist social media posts. His most infamous comment was posted June 1, 2020, after black looters destroyed numerous businesses across the US:
It didn't take long for the online hate mob to form. Hundreds of gays across Twitter and Facebook reported Billy's OnlyFans and JustForFans accounts. The accounts were removed, and Billy tried to first deny he made the posts, then offered a weak apology.
It was too late. Blood was already in the water, and the outraged mob was looking to further ruin Billy:
The hate continued nonstop for a day. Many of Billy and his boyfriend Gage (real name Dael Smit)'s posts and messages were leaked and spread. Then, Gage decided he would try to quell the mob by claiming he had broken up with Billy over the racist posts.
No one believed him, especially considering the contents of the leaked messages:
The Fake Suicide Attempt
Since the fake breakup didn't work and people were continuing to report Gage's OnlyFans, the couple took another approach: Billy faked a suicide attempt.
Not even gonna try to pretend the breakup was legit:
Due to when the tweets were posted, it's obvious no psychiatric hold had been placed, and some speculated he was on a hospital porn set instead of actually at the hospital.
The suicide attempt didn't generate any sympathy. Gage deleted his Twitter, and Billy unfollowed everyone and purged followers from his. Gage posted this on OnlyFans in yet another unsuccessful attempt to salvage his image:
In the following days, the couple were unable to repair their image:
No one believed anything the couple posted.
More on the credit card charge allegations:
This isn't Billy's first brush with scandal. He's been under fire in the past for racism, abuse, drug use, filming unwitting partners for his porn site, and allegedly pozzing negholes.

Abuse
Before Gage, Billy dated a man who used the porn name Seth Santoro (a). The two struggled with meth use, and Billy reportedly (a) beat (a) Seth on over 10 occasions while high:
Billy denied these allegations:
A year later, Seth elaborated on the abuse:
Billy says he is HIV-negative as of 2019. He claimed Seth was using meth (both of them were) and the bleeding was caused by a surgery. Press X to doubt.
Billy later admitted to controlling and beating Seth while somehow also trying to garner sympathy for himself:
Meth
Chronic meth use and alcoholism have led to many of Santoro's dramas. However, since his meth habit isn't really a secret - he and Gage posted about it on OnlyFans:
"Tina" means meth in gay speak. And for some irony:
Other Controversies
As Seth mentioned above, much of Billy's porn is produced and released without the other participants' consent. He got called out on this (a) as early as 2016, but still runs a site (a) where some such content is uploaded. Some of the content uploaded was removed because Billy had not gotten proper documentation.
Billy also ran a shitty gossip site (a) about other gay porn performers and studios.
The site that documented Santoro's relationship violence, Str8UpGayPorn, became a target of one of his vendettas. The saga, stemming from an employment dispute, is very convoluted, legalese-ish and TL;DR (a), but basically he accuses the site's owner of being on meth and wanting to fuck him:

Other Sideshows
Circuit queens sometimes get married and can't act normal even then, as demonstrated below by murderous horrorcow Dylan Hafertepen and his harem. Jack Chapman (RIP) can be seen on the far right:
Like Gregory Locke above, OnlyFans gays often venture into political discussions. The results are predictably hilarious, like this Roe v Wade take that got ratioed:
