Bonnie Blue (actress)

Tia Emma Billinger (born May 1999), known professionally as Bonnie Blue, is an English pornographic film actress and OnlyFans content creator. She has been controversial for her sexual content with university students and married men, her claims to have had sex with 1,057 men in one day, and her goals of having sex with as many men as possible. She made several appearances on podcasts in 2024 which generated several weeks of backlash on Twitter; a subsequent appearance on This Morning prompted 188 complaints to Ofcom. An advert featuring her and involving the online casino Stake later prompted that firm to exit the UK market.
Tia Emma Billinger was born in May 1999 in Stapleford, Nottinghamshire. She grew up with her mother, her step-father, and two half-sisters but never knew her biological father. She attended the Friesland School and planned on being a professional dancer or midwife. She attended Vibez Danceworks in Long Eaton and, with her sister, she competed in the 2015 British Street Dance Championships. At age 15, she began dating a classmate; marrying him in Westminster in February 2022; the pair later moved to Australia. In 2023, disillusioned by a 9-to-5 job and inspired by others' successes on TikTok, she became a webcam model and, after making more money than expected, she launched an OnlyFans page.
Blue then began earning money by filming herself having sex with 18- and 19-year-old students, as they were her target audience. She later supplemented her money-for-sex income with married men after a student's father became jealous, and then began making money via sex with lecturers. In March 2024, her online popularity soared after she visited Cancún and then schoolies week in Australia and freshers' week in the UK. For the latter, she posted her address online and allowed men to queue to have sex with her at no cost, so long as they consented to it being filmed and used in her online content. She visited Nottingham and Derby in September 2024 and Birmingham in October 2024, each for a week, with the intention of having sex with as many students as possible.
Blue made several appearances on podcasts, including Dream On with Lottie Moss and Saving Grace with GK Barry. Clips of her podcast appearances, in which she claimed to have had sex with "hundreds" of "barely legal" students, went viral online and generated significant backlash on Twitter over several weeks, with some questioning what repercussions her co-stars could suffer and others accusing her of manipulation. Some also argued that filming and distributing amateur pornography featuring 18- and 19-year-olds was a moral grey area, while journalist Sophie Wilkinson described her as "a cog in a far bigger machine" and "want[ed] to know who hurt her". Blue later stated that those complaining about the young age of her co-stars should instead encourage the government of the United Kingdom to increase the country's age of consent and attributed the reaction to Saving Grace on the podcast's female audience, prompting others to accuse her of misogyny. She later reiterated her stance on married men on The Kyle and Jackie O Show. Barry later deleted the episode.
In November 2024, after having her visas cancelled in Australia and Fiji for working without an appropriate visa, Blue appeared on the ITV daytime show This Morning, in which she debated against Ashley James over the promotion of her content. The appearance prompted 188 complaints to Ofcom. James later wrote a piece for Grazia stating that she had debated Blue, as she had found previous interviews lacking on the grounds that women had not challenged her, and men had only done so on grounds she considered patriarchal such as her body count or the opinion of her father. Claire Hubble of the i wrote that Blue's virality was "a reflection of the outrage economy" and compared her success to that of Katie Hopkins.
In January 2025, Blue claimed to have had sex with 1,057 men in one day. She said that this broke the world record. Eli Cugini of Dazed criticised tabloids for their coverage of both Blue's stunt and Lily Phillips's I Slept With 100 Men In One Day stunt and Joe Price of Complex stated that there seemed to be an "OnlyFans arms race" between Blue, Phillips, and Sophie Rain to see who could go viral most often, while Wilkinson - this time writing for Elle - wrote that both Blue and the 4B movement were "highly-publicised and extreme responses to our sexual culture" and that Blue had "given hypersexualisation a figurehead". Victoria Smith of UnHerd and Gareth Roberts of The Spectator both accused Blue of misogyny, with the latter comparing her to Andrew Tate, though Felicity Martin of Glamour criticised the latter comparison and instead drew comparisons with G-Eazy's "Lady Killers II".
Martin, Olivia Attwood, and Olivia Petter of The Independent all subsequently wondered why Blue and Phillips were being shamed but not the men who queued to have sex with them, while Eva Wiseman of The Guardian wrote that "the intentions and morals of these men were not of interest, because ... it's normal". Both Martin and Petter compared the men with those who queued to rape Gisèle Pelicot, with the former also worrying "about the landscape their behaviour creates for other women, particularly teenagers". Katherine Ryan subsequently stated an episode of her podcast that the men queuing for them were "losers". By the time of Martin's report, Blue and Phillips had filmed a video opening their front door to a large group of hooded men.
Later that month, The Daily Telegraph reported that Will Prochaska, of the Coalition to End Gambling Ads, had written to Lisa Nandy, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, requesting that she instruct the Gambling Commission to act on a Twitter advert involving Blue, though did not suggest that she was at fault. The advert comprised a September 2024 clip of Blue outside Nottingham Trent University stating that she was there "as promised" to have sex with more than 100 18-year-olds overdubbed with the Stake logo and was part of a marketing strategy in which their logo had been added to several viral videos. The firm left the UK market the following month following a Gambling Commission investigation.
In February 2025, Blue uploaded an Instagram story containing a picture of noodles, pickles, and chocolate sauce next to the word "#cravings" followed by a series of photos of herself with the caption "It's giving milf vibes", leading to speculation that she was pregnant; she later admitted that this was a stunt. The following month, she was romantically linked with Lil Mabu, but this was also later revealed to be a stunt promoting his track "Bonnie Blu". By April 2024, many outlets had run articles about her including MailOnline, GB News, Fox, and The Times of India. That month, she announced that she planned to have sex with 2,000 men in one day and invited fellow OnlyFans creator Camilla Araujo to join in. That month, Albie Amankona of City A.M. wrote that Blue and Phillips were the natural endpoint of the digital economy, and compared them to Britney Spears, Kim Kardashian, and Spotify's "Music Pro" service.
