Last month, we told you about porn star and GayVN winner Cole Connor being attacked by and having to evade a violent group of men during a night out with friends in Hollywood. Shortly after the events took place, the performer shared this horrifying experience with fans on social media and a few days after that, took the Discretion Advised podcast to reveal everything that happened on the night of his attack.
During the podcast interview, Cole confirmed that the attack took place while he was trying to get his ID out of a friend’s car late at night on January 15. A group of strangers next to a nearby car came up to him and then randomly attacked him while telling him to get away from the car he was in. Cole recalls that he tried escaping by closing the car door, but was unsuccessful.
“They were able to pull [the car door] open and pull me out and throw me on the street and hit me a few more times,” said Cole about his attackers. “I couldn’t tell how many people were around me. The first hit made my left eye – my left eye was blurry. I was disoriented and telling them to get the fuck off me.”

Cole then goes on to give more specifics about the attack. He reveals that someone in the group of men almost attacked him with a bat, but he was luckily able to escape thanks to a random car that was driving by.
“I heard someone from the group say, ‘Don’t hit him with the bat!’ and I turn around and there’s someone with a bat over me,” said Cole. “I just turned around and I was just waiting for the hit, but I was trying to crawl away and then a car came up and three people were in it and they opened the back door and they were like, ‘You need help. Get in, get in, get in.’ And it was just like random people and I got up, hobbled over to the car as fast as I could, and then jumped in.”

When asked about the motivations behind the attack by podcast host and porn director Marc MacNamara, the Falcon | NakedSword Exclusive said that while he knows very little information about the attackers, he doesn’t believe the violent event to be a hate crime and was instead just a random act of violence.
“[I know] nothing. I feel like they just wanted to beat the shit outta someone and I was there,” said Cole. “People keep asking me if I think it was a hate crime and I mean, I was in a blank tank top and little black shorts and not really like… They didn’t say anything. They didn’t call me faggot or anything… Yeah, I don’t know.”

Since his interview on the podcast, Cole has shared a hopeful update on social media regarding a surgery he had to have due to injuries sustained during the attack. In an Instagram caption, he says that his “eye surgery went well” and that his eye is going to be stitched up for eight additional days. He then ends the post by thanking his friends and fans for their support.
“I’m actually feeling pretty good!” wrote Cole on Instagram. “Hoping I’ll be camera ready so I can get back to work. I’ve missed out on two productions because of this and I don’t want to miss anymore! I still can’t believe how much support and love you all have given me in the last two weeks. I can’t thank you enough! I feel very lucky and grateful.”

Irrelevant if this was an assault, robbery or hate crime. Enough of this criminal BULLSHIT! Time to carry heat and arm up. And to those liberal idiots who vote for politicians who want to ban guns, go live where you can’t have things such as a radio, free television and a gun, socialist utopias like russia, china, or for as real as it gets north korea. Sadly this is one of the results of idiots who want to defund the police. The really outrageous thing, the politicians who want to abridge your right to own a legal gun under the the 2’nd amendment of the US Constitution have guns for their protection but as for you their attitude ‘screw you all’. Remember this next time elections come around and do yourself and the rest of us a huge favor and vote these worthless lying liberal hypocrites who want to ban guns out of office and the sooner the better. Remember this: criminals will always be able to get guns so you should have the right to do as well for protection of your person and property. And by the way, this BULLSHIT of guns being assault weapons is just that BULLSHIT as anything can be used as an assault weapon.
Tell us you’re MAGA without telling us you’re MAGA
Mind your own business Ms. Bogadash and follow your own advice
Oh good lord, shut up Henrietta. Do you own this board? Uh nope. Ignore the person if you don’t like their views. Stop being a typical bitchy queen. Shoo!
Idiot
Is Cole leaving ?? I thought he was back doing Scenes again
With that busted face, I’m pretty sure it’s not by his choice to retire. Your face is basically the most important thing in the porn industry.
Some people are so unhinged they are telling other people to take their own life.
This is why we need moderators in the comment sections and why some people need to step away from the keyboard ============================================================================================================================
Whoever those guys are, hate crime or not they should still be charged for assault. Hope they’re found and arrested.
As for Cole, I’m glad he’s okay and recovering.
I’m a fan of Cole’s & wish him well. However, did he go to the police or just social media?
Cole Connor…best to you in your recovery and return to work! Violence is violence, no matter the source or the reason…it’s ALL horrific, and we must work together for a better community, society, and world.
Sheesh, well that career didn’t last long. Sucks this is how he retires from the industry with a busted face. I can only imagine the medical bills.
He just filmed some new scenes, one with Will Braun’s return to the industry https://www.thesword.com/will-braun-returns-to-porn.html
Damn, it’s worse he shot a scene with a fugly Will. This poor guy cant get a brake. Shame he had to leave the industry on a low.
It is hard convict someone for a hate crime when there was four of them. Unless there is proof of them using derogatory names and threats towards gays. Unless they are arrested and have a record of attacking based on race or sexual orientation.
