Adult entertainers Bonnie Blue and Annie Knight drew the ire of parents and “judgmental Karens” in November when their bid to bed “barely legal 18-year-olds” at Schoolies on the Gold Coast and Fiji made global headlines. A month on from the British OnlyFans star’s Aussie visa cancellation — and a Fijian witch hunt that thwarted their Schoolies escapades — the ambitious duo have revealed their side of the story to PerthNow. With Knight back home on the Gold Coast and Blue in her native Nottingham, the creators — both aged in their mid-late 20s — explained why they were initially drawn to creating adult content with high school graduates.
“It started last year at Schoolies in November on the Gold Coast,“ Blue said. “At the time I lived there, I was fully aware that loads of late teens were going to be there, and loads of them were messaging me like, ‘Hey, we want to film with you. Hey, you know, can we make a video?’” Initially resisting their advances due to a lack of industry credentials, Blue quickly changed her tune upon realising there was an abundance of “schoolgirl content” online, but little of the inverse.
“I was like, as a female, why don’t I do it as the guys are the school boys and I’m the older one, because it’s worked so well the other way around, and no one has done it and flipped the roles,” she said. “And I think within like 24 hours, it was on the news and money was spiking.” Blue had been an active OnlyFans content creator for just six months at the time, and a year later has amassed an audience yield a staggering £600,000 (1.
2 million AUD) per month in revenue. Recruiting local pal Annie Knight as her wing-woman this year, Blue’s visa was cancelled by the Australian Government following her public call-out to Aussie teens whom she invited to collaborate with her. But a petition signed by thousands of “judgmental Karens” in early November opposing her proposed actions put pressure on the Government to intervene.
While the duo’s plans to create content with “barely legal boys” was not itself illegal, Blue — whose real name is Tia Billinger — was disallowed entry into Australia due to claims she had planned to work and earn money despite her 12-month visa not permitting this. She said at the time she would be appealing the decision. Charting a new course for her Schoolies conquest in mid-November, the tenacious creator apprised Knight of her updated itinerary.
“Bonnie gave me the option of coming to Fiji. She’s like, ‘I’m going to Fiji. I’m doing this anyway.
You know, I totally understand if that’s too hard. You can stay in the Gold Coast to do it there, or you can come with’,” Knight said. “I was like, ‘I’ll come with you.
You said we’re doing this together. Like, let’s do it together’. So we headed to Fiji, and we didn’t tell anyone.
’” Oblivious to Fiji’s popularity as a Schoolies hotspot, Knight drew the gaze of inbound revellers before even touching down. “On my flight over there everyone was a schoolie and they all knew who I was. They all came up asking for photos.
They were so excited. They couldn’t believe that Bonnie and I were going to be going to Fiji,” Knight said. Stepping off the plane, the buzz only intensified as the pair shared cryptic social posts teasing their possible locations.
“We had so many people so excited that we were there and wanting to catch up with us, or meet us. And when we went across to the different islands and stuff, people caught a glimpse of us, they were all losing their minds,” the former marketing manager added. Enjoying their Pacific Island venture — of which Blue claimed to have bedded 24 high school graduates — two found themselves in hot water once more from local authorities.
However, they claim they were “never officially deported” by the Fijian government. “Me and Annie were about to head to the beach to take some cute photos, and my publicist called and she was like, ‘Are you okay?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, we’re absolutely fine’,” Blue recalled. “And she’s like, ‘Well, there’s been a statement released to say the police are on their way, and they’re going to deport you’.
And I was like, ‘Definitely not. We’re gonna beat them to it’.” “So we basically packed up everything and headed straight to the airport.
” Knight confirmed they had each boarded “flights halfway across the world before they could do that”. She felt their forced departure was unfounded, arguing Fijian authorities acted due to mounting “backlash” from Aussies and not because they were breaking the law. The Aussie entertainer argued that despite filming content for subsequent profit, they weren’t technically working.
“We were on a holiday, we were going over there, and we were filming content. We weren’t selling it. We weren’t making any money from it,” Knight insisted.
“Once we got back to our home countries, we were then going to sell it. By the way, filming with legal adults, so nothing we’re doing is illegal. “What’s the difference between that and then being a YouTuber and going on a holiday to Fiji, filming the whole holiday, not putting it up on YouTube till you’re back in your home country, and then putting it on YouTube and earning money off of it? It’s the same thing.
” Responding to claims that targeting 18-year-olds was “predatory”, Knight resented that the terminology might compare her to an abuser or someone “prowling the streets looking for people to prey on”. “We’re not predators. All we’re doing is we’re saying ‘this is where we’re going to be’.
You as a person can make your own decision whether you show up and you want to be involved in what we’re offering,” she added. The Aussie insisted she and Blue enforced safety and age verification measures for each willing participant. “We’ve got the consent forms that they have to sign.
We obviously check IDs. There’s just so much red tape involved with it that at any point, they have the option of pulling out,” she said. “And we also will not film with someone who is visibly super anxious, super nervous, and looks like they might regret it.
” Arguing she should be receiving “flowers and cards from parents” instead of their condemnation, Blue offered a message to those who believe their sons were taken advantage of. “I guarantee you your son absolutely loved it, and I’ve got liquid evidence of your son having a good time with me,” she declared. “Why is it I’ve been with hundreds and hundreds of 18-year-olds and not one of them stepped forward and said they’ve had a bad experience?” Claiming the maximum number of boys she shared the bed and screen with simultaneously during her recent endeavours was eight, Blue insisted she’d be returning to Schoolies in some capacity.
As to where, she remained tight-lipped. “I will definitely be doing Schoolies next year. I’m not going to confirm location,” she said.
As for her next major commitment, the Brit will be attempting a world record in London on Sunday where she’s “looking forward to getting a lot more penises”. She described the event as a “bl** bang with 300 men”. While the self-described “feminist” hasn’t quite reached the financial heights of her British peer, Knight’s goals for 2025 are far from conservative in just about every sense.
The Gold Coast native has her sights on sleeping with “1000 people in a year, and also to take 500 virginities’”..
