The founders of Bop House, Sophie Rain and Aishah Sofrey, slammed adult performer Bonnie Blue following her arrest in Bali. They refer to her as “OnlyFans’ biggest disgrace” and claim she perpetuated publicity stunts she purportedly orchestrated that harmed the adult entertainment industry.
“This is what happens when you treat OnlyFans like a prank TV show,” Rain explains.
“Bonnie Blue has never respected this profession. She mocks it. She uses it for attention.”
Blue, whose real name is Tia Billinger, was apparently arrested along with 17 other male tourists in Badung, Indonesia, on Friday.
The police claim she operated an illicit adult film production in a van known as the “BangBus”, where she produced explicit videos featuring foreign tourists.
Items confiscated include video equipment, sex toys, and costumes labeled “School Bonnie Blue.”
“The arrest came in response to a complaint that a local resident made regarding the possible production of pornographic films,” the police officers said.
“She’s been pulling fake stunts for months,” Sofrey said. “She faked an arrest back in the UK. She drags in teenagers. She thinks this is edgy branding, but she’s endangering people and damaging every creator who’s trying to do this work legally.”
“In Indonesia, the production and distribution of pornography are prohibited,” said Arif Batubara, the head of the Badung police force.
The suspects, Blue and the rest, were arrested due to immigration officials said Saturday afternoon that 14 of the men, believed to be Australian, have been released following questioning and will be allowed to return home when the investigation is complete.
“We are working with police to examine her case,” said an immigration officer in Ngurah Rai. “If others made commercial content, they could also face charges,” he added.
The police also confiscated the Instagram account operated by Blue, where she invited people older than 18 to take part in the pornographic videos she filmed in her van. Most of the posts targeted Australian school leavers who visited the island to celebrate the end of the year in Bali.
Blue, who is 26 years old, made headlines when she claimed to sleep with more than 1,000 in a space of 12 hours. She has staged a fake arrest in the UK in the past where she blurred the lines between content and crime.
“She thinks she’s untouchable,” Rain continues. “This isn’t an edgy skit. She’s in a country where this stuff can land you in prison for a decade.”
Jakarta, the legal experts believe that Blue will be deported, but she might be charged too. If found guilty, she will face a prison sentence of up to 15 years and fines of approximately $360,000. The decision will be made by the immigration officers in a few days.
