Information re: Julie
I wanted to post this, so that there was information regarding her tragic and untimely passing, and to hopefully prevent any rumors. This will be the last "main" post in this journal, however, it will remain online, so friends and fans can make posts. It WILL be monitored, however, as any inappropriate posts will be deleted, screened, etc.

R.I.P. Julie - you were very special to all of us.
Love,

Sad news to tell regarding adult film star Julie Robbins, who was tragically killed Thursday September 22, 2005, as her car ran off the road and smashed into a power pole earlier in the day. The accident trapped her in her burning 2005 Ford sport utility vehicle. Brandy Koonts, (A.K.A. Julie Robbins) who was airlifted to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center after the wreck, was pronounced dead at 10:55 p.m. Thursday.

Julie was the star of countless films, most recently seen in Blonde Factory (SIN CITY), as well as Bounced Check Bitches, Public Enemy #1, and the Victoria Givens world record video. For 2005 Julie was voted Miss Nude Porn Internet, as well as having been nominated as Feature Performer Newcomer Of The Year by Exotic Dancer Magazine this year, and was thrilled for the recognition. Recently she had been the feature dancer at Tootsie’s Cabaret in Miami, Florida, where she had performed several times over the past year. She had called me from there, telling me how much she loved the energy there, and that she couldn’t wait to come back to Las Vegas over the Thanksgiving holiday to do some more shooting for her website, and work on some video with me. More than that, she was truly a genuine down to earth person, who loved to express herself in the industry, and as a friend.

I have been the webmaster, and photographer for Julie’s Official site xxxjulierobbins.com for over three years now, and we have developed quite a great working relationship in and away from the industry. She will always remain one of my favorite people.

Woman dies after fiery vehicle accident

BY ROBERT COOPER
The Dispatch


A woman died Thursday night after her car ran off Junior Order Home Road and smashed into a power pole earlier in the day. The accident trapped her in her burning 2005 Ford sport utility vehicle.

Brandy Dayle Koonts, who was airlifted to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center after the wreck, was pronounced dead at 10:55 p.m. Thursday.

Koonts, 26, of Holloways Church Road, was traveling east on the road around 2:19 p.m. Thursday when the accident happened, but many of the details are not yet known.

"I was looking out the window and I heard a boom and the power lines shook," Joel Lopp said. He still has a burn spot in his yard where the car tipped on its side and burned. "I thought it was a tractor trailer caught on the power lines."

N.C. Highway Patrol troopers can only determine that the contributing circumstance to the accident was driving in a "careless, erratic manner," which is a general term used any time a driver loses control of the car. The speed limit in that section of the road is 55 mph.

Lopp called 911 and bystanders began to gather around the car in an attempt to help her.

"Quite a few people" helped tip the car back onto its wheels, Lopp said, but they could not help Koonts out of the car.

The Linwood Fire Department arrived on the scene first. While volunteers "broke the windows out, we were working on the fire," Capt. Kenneth Everhart said. Koonts was breathing as she was taken from the scene.

But Koonts had burns over 100 percent of her body, Everhart said: "She was burned from head to toe. The car was fully engulfed."

The South Lexington Fire Department also arrived on the scene and used the jaws of life device to free Koonts from the vehicle, Everhart said. Air Care arrived within seven minutes after being called.

This accident is probably the third on that street within a year, Lopp said. "It's a straight stretch so people think they can go 100 miles an hour down the road."

This is terrible news for anyone that ever interacted with her, she'll be deeply missed.

I heard about this yesterday afternoon and i'm still coming to terms with it. She was a wonderful person, very friendly and caring, she'd always make time to talk whether you were in the industry or one of her many fans.

My condolences to her family, especially her daughter; I hope she grows up knowing what a special woman her mom was.

Please, if you have any details about any kind of fund for her can you let me know so I can post it on a few industry boards.

I hope karma exists because she gave alot of happy memories

So sad this happend to Julie. & that it had to happen the way it did.

From how I feel barely knowing her, I can't begin to imagine how her family & closest friends feel.

She was a role model to me & such a sweet person to everyone it seemed.
Think of her family & little girl.

Julie became our very good friend on her trips to Florida. I like to think that was one of her reasons for her always being so excited to come here. It was just two months ago when she was here last and spent pretty much the entire week with us. We had such a great time and I remember how happy she was. She was such a sweet and fun loving person and I loved being around her. I hope she is doing well in heaven. Love ya Julie ...

One of the most delightful and outgoing people to meet in this business. May god bless your daughter and know how much you cared about her.. The acquaintantances you made along the way will never forget that beautiful smile and laughs you brought to so many people...

I've read this entry 100 times and I still can't believe it. Julie was one of my best friends. At one time we were so close she called us Frick and Frack. Just 3 months ago she was sitting in my living room talking to my father if Elvis was still dead or alive. As some of you may know my band THE RENEGADES OF SLUTS did her feature dance theme song " Carolina Fine ". It was our honor to do it for her. And I also had tickets to take her to see the upcoming Rolling Stones concert in Charlotte who are one of her favorite bands of all time. She had the prettiest blue eyes and a heart of gold. Those of you who knew her were lucky she was in your life. And those of you who didn't missed knowing one the brightest stars in the sky.

I never met her, I never had the opportunity to meet her. but I saw the work that she did with others. Good work, and the opportunity to work with a bright young damsel who enjoyed what she did. don't read that statement wrong ... what I am willing to bet was she enjoyed being the performer, the actress.
As I began to write the post, a song came on the radio ... "I will survive." Yes, Julie, you will survive ... your images will be around for a while, and I am sure that your memory will survive in those who you could call your friends.
R.I.P., Julie

From meeting her 5 1/2 years ago as a start up business in the Adult Video Production area, she was special. We actually didn't have any communications for over 4 years when I talked my owner at the Club I was working at that Julie would be an ideal first feature ever for the club, when I was able to reach her via email, she remembered exactly who I was and even remembered the shoot so many years ago. She was awesome preforming, but she was even more outstanding when just talking one on one. She even told me next time she came to the club she was going to blow me in the DJ booth LOL. But most importantly I will always remember her smile, her laugh and her sense of humor. She was a beautiful lady on the outside, but that couldnt touch her inner beauty which could light up the darkest of room, just with her presence. Julie/Brandy you will be missed, but you will never be forgotten.

Dear Brandy,

I learned just today of your passing. I didn't have the honor of knowing you personally, but I've heard from a number of those that did. Apparently, you enhanced each life you touched.

It is easy to be in love with a pretty woman -- and you certainly were a pretty woman. But thornless roses are indeed quite rare, and so seem you to have been: gentle, courteous, compassionate.

Leaders from your former industry noted your talent and skill. In this era of glass ceilings and cutthroat economics, few are able to find gainful employment in fields to which they are well-suited.

Though acting is an honorable profession, I hope that your competence was the result of more than merely that: I hope that you genuinely enjoyed your work, and that you were both well-treated and well-compensated for it.

I hope that you were able to provide for your daughter's future material needs, and that you took advantage of that opportunity -- but much more than that, I hope you invested yourself in her. I have a strong feeling that you did.

I will lament having not known you, but others ... having known that joy ... will lament your absence from their lives while they remain here. Don't be sad for us: it is natural that for a season, we grieve our loss of you.

In time, the pain will diminish, and we will be able to celebrate your life. There is even hope that some will set aside the blinders of legalism, and have their eyes opened ... at least in part ... to Life.

I deeply regret any pain that you suffered during your life, and especially during your final moments here with us. I wish I could have been there with you, to hold your hand and pray over you ... even if only silently.

But that honor did not fall on me, and I must trust that someone else received it.

Where you have gone must surely be a place filled with splendors that I cannot comprehend. There has been such good told me of you that I hope in earnest that you and I meet in the afterlife.

I'm certain we'll be friends. But, at least for now -- and even though it is not my wish -- I must say "good-bye."

Love,
Jesse

I had the great pleasure of working with Julie for a week in Las Vegas, in early 2004. Five of us shot and lived in a 5-bedroom house that we rented for the occasion.

I remember Julie as being one of the hardest working, most professional models I've ever photographed. She carried an entire department store full of clothes everywhere she went. She also had a sweet smile and warm, friendly, energetic disposition. And there was always something magical about that honey-smooth southern accent of hers.

And for the record, she usually slept in pink fuzzy pajamas and she really did like to eat McGriddles for breakfast almost every day.

I'll miss you, babe.

I have been producing porn for 13 years and worked with some of the biggest names in porn during that time, but my all time favorite was Julie. The first time we met we just clicked and became best friends. While shooting for Pure Talent Julie and I were always hotel roomates not just because we would shoot content on our off time but because we just had fun hanging out together. I have traveled literally all over the world and I can honestly say that Julie was one of the nicest and kind hearted people I ever met. There was not an evil bone in her body. And what a body it was. I used to look at her and look for flaws but she had none. She was beautiful inside and out. She will always live in my heart. Christopher Blue

I didn’t know her personally.
I didn’t know this site before last week tragedy.
I have never seen any of her movies, didn’t even know she was into porn.
Though, I only knew her through her bondage photos work, but what a great work ! She was such a great model ! Being myself a bondage illustrator, she was an idol to me. She was acting so well as a sweet desperate heroine, she was so expressive, she was the perfect, ultimate, “Damsel in Distress”. As such, she had all the qualities I am trying to catch in my drawings.
She died so young, in such an horrible manner !!!
That’s why my heart is bleeding now for her, I will miss her so much, so terribly …
My greatest regret is not to have contacted her, tried to know her, and drawn her before.
Now she is gone, I hope my tears and pain will soon let me able to draw a tribute to her memory.
She has been loved, she will be remembered, …
Though, … like Kansas sang :
“… We are All Dust in The Wind”…
Deepest sympathy and condolences to her family and friends.

I'm also a member of the SweetTies forum. When we at the Forum were told about Julie's untimely passing, I almost went into shock. We at the RopExpert Forum were just asking if there were anymore pics to be shown...and just like that she was gone. I can't seem to properly express my grief...Julie was one of my favorite models at ropexpert.com...she is definitely missed. Why do all the GOOD people get taken and the true wastes-of-space are allowed to continue on...I just don't understand it. It's been nice to see that she had such a wide fan base and that so many people will remember her as the bright star in the world that she was. I never met her...but I truly will miss her.

I worked with Julie once at a photoshoot. One of the cards went bad & we lost 2 whole sets of images. Hers were one. She didn't bat an eyelash when we realized we had to reshoot. She said "I'll go get my makeup", as the makeup artist had already left. She gave us beautiful pictures (again) and NEVER complained once. We had actually talked with her about doing more work for us because she was so easy to work with. She will be missed by the entire Adam & Eve family. We love you, Julie!

When Julie was first starting out and lived on Allred road in Wilmington, nc, I was put into contact with her as I was coming down to Charlotte to do some fetish/fantasy video shoots. We spent two wonderful days together during the course of my week stay and she was probably the best actress I have ever had the privelege of working with. We shot two F/m dominance type theme movies and she said she kinda knew the idea but wanted to see some samples, just to be sure. Less than ten minutes later, she lugged that wheeled, black suitcase of hers along with that over-the shoulder, over sized duffel bag that was about as tall as she was, and lugged everything into the changing area, came back out, game face on and ready to go and we did two sixty minute, full-length films WITHOUT TAKING ONE BREAK. THAT IS CORRECT, NOT ONE STOPPAGE OF PROGRESS OR PLAY. Now, that is professionalism at its all-time best. No attitude, no baggage, cell phone was turned off, and she just winged it from the hip and still has the best verbal, impromptu skills of any woman I have ever worked with and that covers 25 years. I gave her the recipe and she tore the hell out of the kitchen.
So Barry, you have had much more time to inter-act and work with her than I have. But appropo here is the line from the first Terminator---"The time we had together, we worked (loved) a lifetime." She was not only a professional person, but a person of great professionalism.

Last night I sat up wishing this was all a dream hoping that my phone would ring. And I would hear that sweet southern voice "hey girl what you doing?" or that I would wake up from this horrible dream. Julie was a great person with a heart of gold and would do anything to help someone out. I was one of the lucky people people like so many others that got to know julie outside of the business. I had alot of fun when we got back from miami to north carolina and met friends of hers and hung out before I had to fly back to wisconsin. Julie had given me something that I will cherish for the rest of my life a friend. Someone I could call in the middle of the night when I needed someone to talk to. Julie you will be in my heart forever. You will be greatly missed from so many people. You were a great person and I love ya girl. Misery

You were electric, wild, and so alive... you were an inspiration. My love and I were looking forward to the day when we would see you dance and talk to you. We thought we had all teh time in the world. None of us do.

My Julie and I will miss you desperately, Brandy... I am truly, deeply sorry that you are gone and I ache for you. It scares me to death... now your daughter is alone... but she never will be, and we never will be, because you will always be with us. I will dedicate a song ora music video to you, and when it is played to the world someday, the world will know your beauty as we all do. You are eternal.

I had the great pleasure of working with Julie Robbins on the anal gb/victoria givens video. The shoot lasted pretty much all day and I would hang out and talk with her during the break whenever I got the chance. She was a beautiful girl from the south and had a great body and personality. She is the reason I work hard to get in shape and to do my best in the industry. I heard from a friend about the tragedy and was deeply saddened. I remember that day that she struck me as an ideal porn actress with her poise, beauty, and professionalism and great skill. I always looked forward to working with her again, in the future in a more personal way as gb's can be very hectic. As Julie was my fluffer, I found myself attempting to drag on my fluffing longer and longer and in fact I did a really great pop shot on Julie's perfect breasts. Sadly, that chance to work with her again more personally will never come. After finding her site and reading her live journal I can see the dedication she had, confirming what I new by talking to her in person. She went through breast enhancement surgery revision, dental procedures, and even attending stripper school. This is the Julie Robbins I met that day and if all girls in porn could be like her the industry would be so much helped. Even if regular girls could be more like her the world would be a better place. We lost a great woman.

I remember Julie from high school and she was a wonderful person. She was in the class ahead of mine, but I had some classes with her, and had a really bad crush on her too. I want to send out my deepest sympathies to her family and friends. We will all miss her and our thoughts are with all of you. I did not ever see or talk to her after school, but wish I would have for we seemed to have went in similar directions. I became a male dancer while in college, though I never got the chance at movies...:(.
