British adult content creator Bonnie Blue has returned to the UK after being deported from Bali and banned from Indonesia for 10 years following a police raid on a rented studio. The 26-year-old performer was detained along with a group of international travelers in what authorities described as a crackdown on potential pornography violations.
Bonnie Blue is a 26-year-old British adult content creator who has gained international attention through her controversial online presence. She operates primarily through social media platforms and subscription-based content services, building a following through provocative marketing campaigns and stunts that often target young adult audiences through what she describes as promotional tours.
Indonesian police seized cameras, vehicles and other equipment during the raid. Badung Police claimed Blue and the group were playing a sex game where the “winner would sleep with Bonnie Blue,” though a local Bali news outlet later reported that “no pornographic activities or acts have been found in the collaborative content.”
Blue was accused of promoting a “BangBus” tour in Bali that involved explicit content with barely legal Australian visitors. BangBus is a long-running adult entertainment franchise that features mobile adult content production, typically involving encounters in a van or bus setting. The brand has spawned numerous iterations and inspired similar mobile adult content concepts across the industry.
The case attracted worldwide media attention due to Indonesia’s strict anti-pornography laws, leading to speculation she could face significant jail time. During legal proceedings, Blue displayed unconventional courtroom behavior, arriving at court laughing and interacting with spectators while sucking on a lollipop. She ultimately received what she described as a $20 fine before being deported.
Now back in Britain, Blue has spoken out about the ordeal. “I’m rich and have good lawyers – did you really think I’d face jail time?” she told reporters. She said she was “excited” to show people “what got me into all this trouble” and joked that she needed to “recuperate” her “huge losses” from the $20 fine.
In her first Instagram video since the incident, Blue claimed she was set up by the woman who organized her Bali tour. “The girl that organized this whole trip for me, she was like: ‘Oh, I’ll sort security, hotels, lawyer, flights, everything,’” Blue said. She alleged the organizer “charged me £75,000 ($150,000) – she has taken a big chunk of the money and then has reported me to the police.”
Blue has promised to share “the whole story” with her fans regarding the incident.
