Adult performer Bonnie Blue, known for her provocative stunts, was taken into custody in Bali alongside a group of men.
This follows her involvement in the ‘BangBus’ tour in the Indonesian region, which led to her arrest. Police confiscated the van she was utilizing and seized 19 outfits labeled with ‘School Bonnie Blue.’
The Daily Mail reports that authorities also discovered lubricant, condoms, and viagra pills in her ‘BangBus truck.’
Bonnie, whose real name is Tia Billinger, was reportedly on a ‘sex tour’ seeking young men for her content production.
Nine News indicates that Bonnie and a number of foreigners were detained and interrogated on suspicions related to pornographic activities.
This is not Bonnie’s first encounter with controversy. Previously, she staged an arrest with photographs showing her being searched by ‘police’ near a marked vehicle, but it was later revealed that these were actors on a film set.
Authorities detained Bonnie and 17 tourists, aged between 19 and 40, hailing from Australia and the UK.
Since filming pornography is illegal in Indonesia, they were taken into custody.
Badung Police Chief Arif Batubara provided an update on the situation, stating that Bonnie and three of her team members have been turned over to immigration officials.
“We have handed them over to the Immigration for further investigation on alleged breaking immigration law. Police investigation are still ongoing. We jointly conduct the investigation with the immigration,” Batubara said.
“Today, with assistance from Immigration, we are releasing the 14 Australians who were detained yesterday for clarification and investigative purposes as witnesses. They are being released because they do not meet the criteria for further suspicion, as the case is still under investigation.”
The LADBible Group has reached out to Badung Police for more information.
The adult entertainer was previously prohibited from entering Australia due to her ‘Barely Legal’ Schoolies stunt, which led to work rights and visa issues. Earlier this year, Bonnie was also banned from filming in Fiji, resulting in the cancellation of her visa for similar reasons.
‘Schoolies Week’ is an occasion when Australians celebrate completing high school, with many young people traveling to locations such as Bali and Fiji for festivities.
On social media, Bonnie stated: “Hey boys, those who are going to schoolies, and those that are barely legal, cannot wait to meet you.”
“I’m in Bali so you know exactly what that means,” she wrote, while sharing footage online of her blue ‘BangBus’ branded vehicle, with Bonnie and several young men standing in the back.
In a recent interview, she discussed bypassing her Australian ban after the controversy, telling A Current Affair: “I don’t want to give too much away, but let’s just say, I’ve got good lawyers and I will be doing schoolies this year.”
Bonnie’s actions, particularly her pursuit of ‘barely legal’ men, have been criticized as ‘predatory.’ However, she maintains her innocence.
In an interview with news.com.au, Bonnie argued against this label, asserting that the young men participate voluntarily, sign multiple consent forms, undergo a Breathalyzer test, provide physical ID to verify their age, and use condoms throughout.
“The topic of consent is heavily discussed,” she added.
Activist and sexual abuse survivor Harrison James, according to the New York Post, expressed concerns: “Bonnie’s approach of sharing her location online and allowing participants to ‘queue’ without any vetting process is deeply concerning,” he said.
“It raises significant ethical and safety issues, especially given the vulnerability of young men who are barely legal adults. This lack of structure creates a heightened risk of coercion, exploitation, and uninformed decision-making.”
“While Bonnie emphasizes the use of consent forms and discussions, these steps don’t eliminate the underlying power imbalance,” he added.
