‘Not a predator’: Sex worker speaks out for first time after Schoolies stunt

Controversial sex worker Bonnie Blue has insisted she isn’t preying on young boys because they have to sign consent forms.

Controversial sex worker Bonnie Blue has spoken out for the first time since her infamous Schoolies stunt, which saw her sleep with “barely legal” young men and film it for an adult subscription site.

After having her visa cancelled in Australia before the Gold Coast Schoolies event and being deported from Fiji after trying to relocate there, Blue exclusively told news.com.au that she stands by her actions despite facing backlash and being labelled as “predatory”.

She claimed that the main reason she isn’t predatory is that the boys who line up to sleep with her after she shares her location must complete “multiple” consent forms.

“They have chosen to contact me, given consent and allowed me to film,” she said.

Along with this, the teens must undergo a breathalyser test, wear condoms and bring physical ID to prove they are of age.

Then throughout their interaction, she said, “the topic of consent is heavily discussed”.

“There’s lots of talking – I discuss content, pleasure, and what to expect and then during the filming, I ask them what they enjoy.”

She said she aims to ensure that everyone’s boundaries are “respected” and that the boys are “comfortable” the entire time.

Despite being “nervous”, the Brit said the school leavers are “friendly” and “respectful”.

“Whether you’re sleeping with a student or their dad, it can be a nervous encounter,” she explained.

“A lot of the young men haven’t had a lot of experience with a woman’s body and feel either embarrassed or nervous to perform, which is normal and expected when their education has come from a schoolteacher and then porn showing professional adult stars performing.”

She maintained that the criticism she received about the use of the word “barely legal” in her promotional materials was unwarranted.

“The key word in that sentence is ‘legal’,” she pointed out.

“I understand people may not agree with the content I make; however, that doesn’t make me a predator, nor is my behaviour predatory.

“I’m educating the younger generation on safe sex, consent and allowing them to understand their bodies and those they’re sleeping with.

“No one is ever pressured or even contacted by myself; it’s their decision and their bodies.”

Activist and survivor Harrison James told news.com.au on Wednesday that he believed the creator posed a genuine risk to young school leavers, despite her assurances regarding safety and consent.

“Bonnie’s approach of sharing her location online and allowing participants to ‘queue’ without any vetting process is deeply concerning,” he said.

“It raises significant ethical and safety issues, especially given the vulnerability of young men who are barely legal adults. This lack of structure creates a heightened risk of coercion, exploitation, and uninformed decision-making.”

Mr James, who was molested as a teenager, is currently advocating for the removal of “good character” references in the sentencing procedures of pedophiles through the ‘Your Reference Ain’t Relevant’ campaign.

“While Bonnie emphasises the use of consent forms and discussions, these steps don’t eliminate the underlying power imbalance,” the award-winning activist explained.

“Many of these 18-year-olds are navigating their first steps into adulthood, and placing them in such a hypersexualised and monetised setting compromises their ability to provide fully informed consent.

“True consent is about more than legality; it requires emotional maturity and an environment free from pressure or manipulation.”

Mr James believes her claims about “educating” young men about safe sex are “deeply problematic.”

“Genuine sexual education should happen in trusted, regulated environments, not through encounters with an adult profiting from these interactions,” he explained.

“Her framing undermines the importance of proper education and instead normalises a highly exploitative dynamic.”

He said Blue’s assertion that her actions are justified because they are legal misses the bigger picture as “legality does not equate to morality or ethicality.”

“While the participants may technically be adults,” he noted, “they are still vulnerable to manipulation, especially when engaging with someone in a position of significant power and influence.”

He argued that using the “legal” technicality to justify her actions as “not predatory” is tone-deaf.

“Predatory behaviour isn’t defined solely by legality but by the exploitation of power imbalances and vulnerability, both of which are present in these scenarios,” he said.

“Her recent comments reinforce my concerns about the broader implications of her actions, particularly the normalisation of exploitative behaviours under the guise of legality and ‘education’.”

Ahead of Australian Schoolies, Blue made a call out for “barely legal” young men to film adult content with her.

There was widespread outrage about Blue ahead of the stunt, with many social media users weighing in on the discussion.

A change.org petition for Blue to be booted from Australia saw almost 100,000 signatures and argued: “Bonnie finds [Schoolies] the perfect opportunity to find young men to prey on and record sexual content to sell.

“This is her sole working job while living in Australia from the UK. How is she contributing to our society?”

In addition to speaking out, Mr James also called the Gold Coast Meriton where Blue would be staying to alert them to the situation.

Australia then cancelled the sex worker’s visa following the controversy on the grounds of allegations that she intended to contravene her 12-month visa by working in the country.

It was this intention to work that was the basis for the cancellation, not the campaign over her plan to have sex with young men.

Blue and fellow sex worker Annie Knight then took their Schoolies endeavour to Fiji after her visa was revoked.

However, the pair also faced hurdles from the Fijian government, who claimed they had broken their visitor visas there as well.

The pair fled the country amid Fiji’s Home Affairs and Immigration Minister saying Blue was going to be deported.

Viliame Gavoka, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Tourism and Civil Aviation, called the duo “harmful” to Fiji’s image.

Just two hours before the news broke, the pair claimed that they had sex with 24 people the day prior.

Speaking with news.com.au on Wednesday, Knight echoed Blue’s sentiments and said she also had “strict procedures in place” to keep herself and the boys safe.

She mentioned that the young men who she ends up sleeping with are the ones who are “mature” and seem completely sure about wanting to participate.

“If there were any guys who seemed even slightly unsure, we refused to let them participate. We always have a great time, and we connect with a lot of them. I feel like they have very similar outlooks on life to ours, which I love.”

To people who think she is a predator and exploiting these men, Knight asks, “How can I be a predator when I’m not preying on anyone?

“If I were preying on men, I’d be roaming the streets, finding an easy-to-manipulate man and trying to convince him to come home with me. That’s not what I’m doing. I am simply saying, ‘This is where I’m going to be; this is the service I am offering; come if you want,’ and the people who show up are coming willingly without any coercion.”

She said the hate she received is “astronomical” and she’ll “never understand it”.

“I find it interesting how those close to me and those who know the full process and everything that is involved with the filming are completely fine with it and don’t have an issue with it.

“It’s all the uneducated people jumping to conclusions and making assumptions about things that they have no idea about. It’s unwarranted, in my opinion, but I remain unbothered.

“The more people who complain and campaign against it, the more my bank account grows.”
