His last scene with Helix was in 2019-2020 and didn't do a studio scene since. Though he had an onlyfans, that's not exactly "the industry".
I think you'll find that the definition of "the industry" has expanded far beyond the studios. But we can agree to disagree.

Crazy that it's been 1 year since Kyle died and not a word from Helix. Kyle Ross was a pretty big star on their roster and it would not take much for them to remember him a year later.
Sad.
Sad.

He's not making them money anymore. Keith and the rest of the Helix team don't care.
Unfortunately I think you're right, and that is sad considering how much Kyle Ross meant to Helix. They did nothing other than tweet about his death and a year later, a former employee/former gf of his twin brother was the one who tweeted about him, recognizing the anniversary of his passing.

That speaks volumes as to the type of company they've become. Now I understand why Kyle and Max left when they did.
Controversial take: Helix owes him nothing. Nor Max. They may have done at lot in front of and behind the camera in their time, but Helix is still a viable company and they have to keep looking forward, not back.
I cannot recall the name of the model who died suddenly several years ago that was rumored to have taken his own life, but Helix tried to promote videos with him as a lead or co-lead and they got called out for profiting from the dead. So they're damned if they do and damned if they don't.
One other thing -- given the acrimony of how Kyle (and Max) left Helix, why would the company want to reopen old wounds?
I take your point about Alex Riley but Kyle was one of those stars for Helix and never did them any harm. He was in a different level than Alex and the majority of other models; he was one of their superstars.
In my opinion, they could have celebrated his career at Helix in some way and recognized his contribution to the success of the company.
I'm not sure what you mean by the acrimony of how Kyle left - Kyle left to pursue other careers away from the adult field. As for Max, I'm not exactly certain if Max left because of the Drake/Silas drama or something else to be honest with you. So yes, Max's departure could have been acrimonious. We'll never know for sure.

Kyle did not leave on good terms, with the company and with Max. I'll have to find those articles on Str8Up/Sword that referenced the controversy.
The company obviously doesn't care to look back. Kyle Ross was not, and never would be, their savior, no matter how much his fans want to say he made the company what it was.
