If you’re a person who considers themself to be extremely online, you may have come across the name Bonnie Blue recently. The OnlyFans adult content creator has sparked controversy after sharing that she has slept with hundreds of eighteen- and nineteen-year-old men (and filmed the encounters), after setting herself up in student heavy areas – such as during freshers’ weeks and spring break hotspots – and inviting them to meet her.
Here’s what we know about Bonnie Blue and what the current conversation around her is.
Who is Bonnie Blue?
Bonnie Blue is the stage name for a 24-year-old British adult content creator who has a sizeable following on OnlyFans. She has sparked division after posting about her travels around the world, deliberately targeting university hotspots in order to advertise to young men and encourage them to sleep with her, something which she believes sets her content apart in a saturated market.
Blue said she offers the students the chance to have sex with her for free on the basis that she can film it and use the content in her online material. She has claimed that by travelling everywhere from Derby to Australia to Cancun, she’s managed to have sex with hundreds of teenagers – and that she is helping to educate them about sex along the way.
Speaking to Cosmopolitan UK, Blue said, “As an adult content creator I want to educate late teens on how to have fun, stay safe and enjoy a healthy sex life without worrying about judgment and shame the older generation like to push about sex.”
Prior to embarking on this career, Blue was previously married and in a decade-long relationship (which has since ended) – but she says her former partner still works with her behind-the-scenes.
“I was bored of living in the 9 to 5, so [thought] I’m gonna give this a go,” Blue explained on the Dream On podcast hosted by Lottie Moss. “I’ve done Cancun in March, I’ve done Schoolies which is in Australia and then Freshers’ in the UK. I share my location online. I was like ‘This is where I’m gonna be, let me pleasure you’ and there was a massive queue. People were waiting for over eight hours.” Blue also added that she “loves taking virginities”.
On another podcast, Saving Grace, hosted by influencer and internet personality, GK Barry (real name Grace Keeling), Blue further discussed her OnlyFans niche of sleeping with students by saying, “I loved, they loved it and it made me rich.” She also described how some would arrive looking visibly nervous, “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.”
Blue also claimed that she has made £3 million from her OnlyFans account this year alone, but did not say that she splits any of that profit with those who appear alongside her.
This has raised concerns around consent and whether or not Blue is taking advantage of those who she sleeps with in exchange for content, with some social media users likening her behaviour to duping young and naive people into sex work. It’s said that Blue checks their IDs and asks those she sleeps with to sign a consent form, but some are arguing that this isn’t enough and that 18-year-olds aren’t thinking about the future repercussions (given the material will be available online forever).
Blue is also facing backlash after saying she happily sleeps with lecturers from the universities she targets too and married men, believing that too many women “nowadays are lazy” when it comes to maintaining their marital sex lives.
What is the backlash over Bonnie Blue’s podcast appearances?
While Blue has been a controversial figure for some time, first getting press last winter, the conversation around her has picked back up following her appearance on the popular podcast, Saving Grace.
In a (now deleted) clip which was circulating online, Blue recounts sleeping with a student and his father, saying, “When I first saw him with his dad, I thought he was gonna like come and tell me off but [oh no it was] the opposite. He was jealous and wanted to join in […] I did the son first.”
Some social media users commented underneath this video, saying they were disappointed to see Blue as a guest.
Cosmopolitan UK has reached out to Keeling’s representatives for comment.
Blue has also appeared on other podcasts, such as Dream On with Lottie Moss, on which she discussed sleeping with “158 students in two weeks” and then moving on to targeting “dads and husbands”. That episode also saw negative comments, with one Instagram user writing underneath a promo clip on the Dream On account, “This is not a healthy thing to glorify or celebrate. This is not female empowerment, this is objectification. Women deserve better.”
Another added, “If a male said they liked taking virginities it would be a different story 🤢”.
What has Bonnie Blue said about the negativity against her?
Blue has defended her approach to content creation and her OnlyFans uploads on multiple occasions. Speaking directly to Cosmopolitan UK, Blue said: “I receive backlash for sleeping with barely legal 18-year-olds, but the key word in that sentence is ‘legal’. Rather than comment on my TikToks, people should complain to the government to increase the age from 18 to 21, [as] I’m only complying with UK law.” She added that if the law were to change, she would then film with “barely legal 21-year-olds instead”.
“Of course the Karens of the world will still complain when it’s 21-year-olds,” Blue continued. “I can’t win even when my videos are completely legal, with written consent and ID verification.”
Blue also added that she’s been the victim of death threats online and re-stressed that she never approaches the young people she films with. “Any students or barley legal 18-year-olds I make content with have chosen to contact me, given consent and allowed me to film. No one is ever pressured or even contacted by myself, it’s their decision and their bodies,” she said. “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.”
Blue additionally told Cosmopolitan UK she wanted to make it plain that while she does not condone cheating, she believes that “if [men’s] wives aren’t pleasuring them then they will go elsewhere and that’s a fact […] opinions hurt when they’re close to home which is why I receive a lot of hate [from women].”
During multiple other interviews, the adult star has also claimed her parents support what she does for a living, as they just want to see her happy. “I wanna beat the world record [of how many sexual partners you can have in one day] – it’s 948 in one day,” she said during one podcast episode.
Speaking to student newspaper, The Tab, about the Saving Grace backlash in particular, Blue reportedly said, “Grace has a platform which allows people to share their stories. This doesn’t mean she’s for or against sex work or glamourising it. Grace’s interviews are light-hearted, so asking difficult questions isn’t her style nor the right questions for her podcast.
“The reason the podcast will be receiving hate is because it has a female target audience whereas mine is men. Women have a lot more time [and] therefore have no problem wasting their time commenting hate and abusive comments across social platforms. Women dislike the things I have to say, but it’s because it hits close to home for them.”
