Only Fans star Bonnie Blue, who was arrested in Bali, Indonesia on suspicion of breaking the country’s anti-pornography laws, has broken her silence after returning to her homeland of Britain.
Speaking to reporters, the adult star said: “I’m rich and I’ve got good lawyers – did you really think I was going to face jail?” according to News.com.au.
Blue went on to say that she was “excited” to show people “what got me into all this trouble,” adding that she would have to “make up for her huge losses” from the $20 fine.
Blue’s comments follow her interaction with local reporters in Bali, where she invited them to “check in” and “find out” more about her upcoming content plans. She also said she would share the “full story” with her fans regarding the dramatic incident.
The 26-year-old porn star, whose real name is Tia Billinger, made headlines after police raided a rented studio and detained her along with a group of international travelers. Police seized cameras, vehicles and other equipment.
What led to her arrest?
Blue is accused of promoting a “BangBus” tour in Bali that included explicit content with barely legal Australian “schoolboys”. Police said her group included at least 17 tourists from Britain and Australia aged between 19 and 40.
She announced her visit to Bali on social media and wrote:
“Hey guys, the Schoolies and the barely legal can’t wait to meet you – and I’m in Bali so you know exactly what that means.”
Her actions drew complaints from local authorities who claimed she had hired a bus to travel around Bali filming explicit content during “Schoolies Week”.
After the incident, she was deported from the island nation and banned for 10 years.
In a separate Instagram video posted just before her sentencing, Blue talked about the woman. “The girl who organized this whole trip for me said, ‘Oh, I’ll arrange the security, the hotels, the lawyer, the flights, everything.’
While Bali is largely Hindu and attracts millions of international tourists, Indonesia – a Muslim-majority country – strictly prohibits the production of pornographic content, with violations punishable by up to 12 years in prison and fines of up to $360,000.
Billinger has made a name for herself with her daring stunts as a creator of adult content.
Her case comes amid renewed concerns among Balinese authorities about the behavior of foreign visitors following several deportations in recent years, including several Russian influencers expelled for posing nude at sacred sites.
