Annie Knight arrives back in Australia after being deported from Fiji alongside Bonnie Blue

A Gold Coast OnlyFans creator who was deported from Fiji alongside Bonnie Blue has landed in Sydney after their Schoolies stunt went awry.

Sex workers deported from Fiji over controversial Schoolies stunt

Annie Knight has arrived back in Australia after being deported from Fiji alongside controversial porn star Bonnie Blue.

The Gold Coast adult entertainer had been in the tropical island country to film explicit content with Blue involving “barely legal” teens celebrating Schoolies.

However the pair were kicked out by the country’s Minister for Immigration, Pio Tikoduadua, on Tuesday who described the move as an effort to “safeguard Fiji’s integrity and immigration system”, local outlets reported.

Knight and Blue have both declined to comment when contacted by news.com.au.

Both Knight and Blue, whose real name was revealed as Tia Billinger in the public order, have since departed the “well-known resort in Nadi” where they had been staying.

Photographs now show Knight, who resides on the Gold Coast, landed in Sydney late on Tuesday evening.

In the images, Knight is wearing slouched jeans and a white tank top as she pushes two suitcases through the arrivals area.

She can also be seen on the phone, and in one snap, she’s also visibly smiling.

It’s not known where British-born Blue has gone. She was previously in LA before heading to Fiji.

Blue’s Australian visa was cancelled on November 8 on the grounds of allegations that she had intended to contravene her 12-month visa by working.

It was her intention to work and not the Schoolies campaign itself, which had raised concerns among activists and parents, that saw her visa cancelled.

At the time, Blue - who ignited widespread criticism over her Schoolies stunt after publishing a call-out for “barely legal 18-year-old” men to take part - lashed out at the “middle-aged Karens” who led the charge for the Albanese government to take action.

“It is definitely something I would appeal,” she told news.com.au, adding that while she appeals her ban from Australia, she would take her roadshow to another international location.

“I would do Schoolies in another location. Like Fiji. It’s beautiful. But in terms of the petition it really is pathetic,” she said.

Her plan backfired when just two days after arriving on the main island, the Schoolies stunt attracted fresh criticism, and prompted Fiji’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Tourism and Civil Aviation, Viliame Gavoka, to label Blue and Knight’s OnlyFans business as “harmful” to the nation.

Shortly after, Fiji’s Minister for Immigration revealed the pair were being deported with immediate effect.

“I have exercised my authority under the Immigration Act to declare Tia Billinger, the United Kingdom national known by her screen name, Bonnie Blue, a prohibited immigrant,” Mr Tikoduadua said.

Just hours earlier, the pair had been promoting their exploits on social media, claiming they had sex with 24 people.
