‘Set up’: 26yo breaks silence after Bali stunt
Porn star Bonnie Blue has broken her silence after being deported from Bali, claiming she was betrayed by the woman she paid $150,000 to organise her controversial trip.
Bonnie Blue has returned to British soil and broken her silence after being deported from Bali and banned for 10 years following a run-in with authorities.
The 26-year-old porn star, whose real name is Tia Billinger, was involved in a dramatic incident in Bali in recent weeks when police raided a rented studio and detained her along with a group of international travellers.
The case – which involved seizing cameras, vehicles, and other equipment – attracted worldwide media attention and led to speculation she could face significant jail time due to Indonesia’s strict anti-pornography laws.
Badung Police claimed Blue and the group were playing a sex game where the “winner would sleep with Bonnie Blue”.
“No pornographic activities or acts have been found in the collaborative content,” a local Bali news outlet reported on Wednesday.
Although headlines suggested she could face up to 15 years in prison and a fine of up to $541,000 in the deeply religious country, Blue was instead fined just $20 for a traffic violation involving her infamous Bang Bus vehicle and was deported from the island.
During her time in Bali, footage and photos showed the sex worker’s unconventional conduct during legal proceedings – such as arriving at court laughing and interacting with spectators while sucking on a lollipop.
Now back in the UK, Blue has spoken out about the ordeal, telling the press: “I’m rich and have good lawyers – did you really think I’d face jail time?”
She then told them 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.
This comes after she playfully told local journalists in Bali, “Subscribe and you’ll find out,” when asked about her future content plans.
She also teased that she would be showing fans “the whole story” about what really went on in Bali, but it seems she’s already started doing that.
In her first Instagram video since the incident, Blue claimed she was set up by the woman who organised her Bali tour – and whom she paid $150,000 to for the trip.
In a Reel, just before heading to her sentencing, she said: “The girl that organised this whole trip for me, she was like: ‘Oh, I’ll sort security, hotels, lawyer, flights, everything.’
“[She] charged me £75,000 ($150,000) – she has taken a big chunk of the money and then has reported me to the police, so thanks.”
