Bonnie Blue controversy explained as star brags about taking virginities of 'nervous' freshers

Adult star Bonnie Blue has come under fire for her controversial methods to earn money online after declaring her 'niche' is sleeping with 18-year-old boys and filming it

Adult film star Bonnie Blue is at the centre of a huge online storm after bragging about sleeping with 'hundreds' of students.

The blonde OnlyFans creator has sparked outrage after appearing on a number of podcast platforms to talk about how she makes a living - by inviting 18 and 19-year-olds to have sex with her and filming it.

Bonnie appeared on GK Barry's Saving Grace podcast, which has now been wiped off the internet, and spoke proudly of her love of "taking virginities".

The millionaire sex worker has defended her 'predatory behaviour' and opened up about the lucrative reason she does it all. Claiming some students will queue up "for eight hours" for a moment in a hotel room with her, Bonnie said: "I loved it, they loved it and it made me rich." But what else do we know about her? The Mirror takes a look...

What is Bonnie Blue's real name and age?

The adult film star is 25 years old and is based in Derbyshire, though travels around the world to film her X-rated content. Her stage name is Bonnie Blue, with her real name unknown. She started doing OnlyFans out of a desire to quit her recruitment job. On the Dream On podcast, Bonnie told Lottie Moss: "I was bored of living in the 9 to 5, so [thought] I'm gonna give this a go."

After visiting universities in the UK to bed students, Bonnie is now travelling back to Australia, where she intends to have sex with teens during 'schoolies' - a week-long holiday. On GK Barry's now-deleted podcast, she said: "They're holding their IDs up, they're shaking... I can understand why they'd be nervous, they don't know me, they've just queued up for eight hours on end. All they know is that I'm videoing it and they don't know what to expect."

Is Bonnie Blue in a relationship?

Prior to her OnlyFans career, Bonnie was married and in a nine-year relationship. In 2021, she moved from Nottingham to Australia and ended her marriage, but she has said her former partner still works with her behind the scenes.

Why and how does Bonnie Blue do it?

As well as not wanting to work a typical 9-5, Bonnie has said that she enjoys "educating" young boys about sex. She explained that she found her 'niche' because there was a "gap in the market", and she has exploited it to make as much money as possible. She told the Metro: "From a business point of view, it's the most searchable category in the [adult content] hub – it's the trending search and has been for a very, very long time – but it's always been school girls as opposed to school boys."

She continued: "There was money to be made because there's a gap in the market for it being school boys. I call them 'barely legal teens' because I'm aware it's going to get attention." Bonnie added that she has sex with a "high number" of students in one go because "freshers doesn't last forever" and she sees it as an opportunity to capitalise.

How much money does Bonnie Blue make?

Bonnie has alleged that she now earns a whopping £540,000 a month through her adult content work, which she started last year. When she appeared on The Reality Check podcast, she said: "Honestly, college boys pay well." It's understood Bonnie does not pay the boys she is sleeping with, and they do not pay her, but she profits from filming the content and posting it.

What criticism has Bonnie Blue faced?

A Change.org petition, which has clocked up nearly 20,000 signatures and counting from concerned Australians, is now calling for 'predatory' Bonnie's visa to be cancelled. The petition reads: "How is she contributing to our society.. by preying on just legal boys and publicly boasting about it with no intention of stopping anytime soon. If this was a man posting continuously online about finding young 18-year-old girls, it would be on the news and would not be allowed to carry on."

Bonnie has spoken out about her critics while dismissing supporters of the petition as 'uneducated'. She told the Mail: "These 18-year-olds can go to the Army, they can drive, they can drink, they're choosing their careers for the rest of their life. If they want to use their own bodies to come and sleep with me, that is their decision. We seem to say 18-year-olds don't know better. But if an 18-year-old commits a crime, the first thing they would say is that they're an adult, they should know better. So we seem to pick and choose when we like to treat them as kids."

Bonnie has said that she checks their IDs and asks them to sign a consent form before sleeping with them, but some people have argued that 18-year-olds aren't thinking about the future repercussions - given that the videos of them having sex will be online forever. In response, Bonnie told Cosmopolitan: "No one is ever pressured or even contacted by myself, it's their decision and their bodies. I film content with inexperienced students for both their benefit and mine. The hate is coming from a generation who believe sex is taboo... women can also be proud and bold about sex."
