The individual who reported Bonnie Blue to the authorities has spoken out to defend their decision and clarify their motives for involving the police.
Bonnie Blue, a well-known British adult star, often finds herself in the spotlight, but her latest actions might have crossed a line.
On December 5, Blue, whose real name is Tia Billinger, was detained alongside 17 male tourists, aged between 19 and 40.
She is accused of trying to produce explicit content in Bali, which is illegal due to Indonesia’s stringent laws. Allegedly, she was traveling through the region with these men in what she called her ‘BangBus’ as part of a sex tour.
If charged, Blue could face up to 15 years in prison and substantial fines under the country’s anti-pornography regulations.
The whistleblower, an expatriate residing in Bali, has chosen to remain anonymous and shared their perspective with news.com.au. They explained why they felt compelled to alert the police.
They said: “The way we tracked her wasn’t particularly complicated; we just followed her through her gang bang bus.”
“But the cops, at first, they couldn’t even understand what [was happening]. We had to explain it to them, that there are about 20 guys [and Blue]. They just couldn’t comprehend it.”
“But once we explained to them that she’s driving around in the ‘gang bang bus’ and that she was bragging about sleeping with Schoolies, some of who were barely legal … and that the footage was going to go worldwide afterwards, they confirmed that the activity was illegal [and took action].”
The individual acknowledges the discussions on social media questioning why they intervened.
They insisted that they did not want Bonnie Blue’s name or her activities to become associated with Bali.
They added: “Why do I care? I am not a prude, (and) I am not judging her. But ‘Bonnie Blue’s Bali Gang Bang’ is not where we want to be reputation-wise. Bali is not Thailand. Bali is not the Philippines. The business community doesn’t want it, the expat community doesn’t want it, and the local community can’t even comprehend it.”
