Bonnie Blue, the 26-year-old British adult star, is in the hot seat as she prepares to face immigration officials in Bali within the next two days. Her arrest, which included 17 male tourists aged 19 to 40, stems from accusations of creating pornographic content – a serious offense under Indonesia's stringent morality laws.
On Friday, Bonnie and her companions were detained, and footage showed 14 Australian men leaving a detention center with their faces obscured by t-shirts. Unlike Bonnie, who was released on Saturday morning, the Australians had a smoother path. They were interviewed as witnesses and are expected to return home shortly.
Bonnie, whose real name is Tia Billinger, now awaits further questioning alongside two British and one Australian man. An official from Ngurah Rai confirmed her tourist visa entry, adding to the layers of bureaucratic complexity. Officials are still deciding on Bonnie's case and investigating her activities in Bali.
“We will be deepening the investigation to check her activity during her time in Bali and work jointly with police,” the immigration source shared.
The possible charges hinge on whether the group produced commercial content. If so, they could face legal consequences. Meanwhile, police are probing whether the activities stirred public unrest.
The arrest followed a tip-off about "suspected pornography or the creation of indecent video material." Police found a collection of sex-related materials, from cameras to condoms, in Bonnie's Badung accommodation. This discovery has intensified the scrutiny of her "Bangbus tour," which reportedly attracted young Australians during their Schoolies celebrations.
Despite the chaos, Bonnie's controversial trip was heavily promoted on her social media, where she invited young "barely legal" men to meet her in Bali. While the group of Australians detained did not know each other beforehand, their shared experience has drawn significant media attention.
Bonnie is no stranger to the spotlight, having previously faked her arrest by UK police as a publicity stunt. Her antics frequently stir her 700,000 Instagram followers, leaving many intrigued about her next moves.
In the wake of her Bali arrest, Bonnie’s team has urged fans to respect her privacy. Yet, as international laws and public attitudes sway, it remains to be seen how Bonnie's Bali escapade will unfold.
