Annie Knight has sensationally ended her friendship with Bonnie Blue over her most recent sex stunt – just eight months after the pair were kicked out of Fiji for filming their controversial Schoolies stunt together.
The Gold Coast sex worker, famously dubbed “Australia’s most sexually active woman”, said their friendship turned sour after Blue announced a “horrifying” sex event that was so shocking, it got her kicked off OnlyFans.
Blue was banned by the adult platform after her “petting zoo” idea – where she was set to be tied up in a glass box “like a zoo animal” for anyone of legal age to join her – copped widespread criticism.
Many called out its “dangerous” messaging, stating it glamorised sexual violence and “promoted rape culture”, with Blue later canning the stunt and stating “it had to go”.
Shortly after, Blue went on a rampage, claiming OnlyFans “took unprecedented action” to punish her for “making content, while multiple other creators are mimicking my entire marketing techniques and events”.
“The only difference is, I don’t cry and I don’t vlog hospital journeys. I just keep smiling,” she fumed, referring to Knight’s recent hospitalisation for an endometriosis flare up.
It was this “stab in the back” that prompted Knight to reassess her friendship with the increasingly controversial porn star, resulting in her deciding to cut Blue out of her life for good.
“I’d spoken to her just a week prior and everything was fine and then she got banned from OnlyFans and the next thing I know, she’s badmouthing me online, using my health issues against me and trying to get me banned as well,” Knight told news.com.au.
“Her ship was going down and she tried to pull down as many people with her as possible, that’s something I would absolutely never do.
“She tried to take credit for other people’s careers and insinuate that people copied her, namely me. It’s a huge stab in the back.”
Knight said she had been growing increasingly concerned about the direction Blue’s content was going in, noting that “consent” and “respect” are at the forefront of her own videos.
“I think the derogatory nature of the ‘petting zoo’ was horrifying. It opened the floodgates for abuse and other horrible things to occur. It was a line I wouldn’t even dream of crossing,” the 27-year-old, who is originally from Melbourne, explained.
“I think at the end of the day our morals are completely different. Consent is so important and it has always been important that I convey that in my content.
“Sex is meant to be enjoyable for both parties and that’s the most important thing for me to educate people on.”
Knight, who discusses their fallout on the latest episode of her podcast Annie Knight: Unhinged, said many of Blue’s most problematic views never sat well with her.
“I disagree with cheating and I don’t believe that women belong in the kitchen or on their knees,” she explained, noting the British porn star’s now infamous views on marriage.
“I am a ‘girls girl’, and I am supportive of other women. Being a woman is hard enough in a world where the odds are pitted against us, we don’t need other women trying to tear us down as well.”
However, Knight has “no regrets” about filming explicit content with “barely legal” young men alongside Blue in Fiji back in November, arguing the Schoolies leavers involved were consenting adults.
“I always knew Bonnie did more extreme content than I did, but I didn’t think that she would take it as far as she did.”
Ultimately, the pair were kicked out by the country’s Minister for Immigration, Pio Tikoduadua, in an effort to “safeguard Fiji’s integrity and immigration system”.
Blue, whose real name is Tia Billinger, had to return to the UK after her Australian visa was cancelled the week prior while Knight came back to the Gold Coast.
The women later went to Spring Break in Cancun in March but haven’t seen each other since, with Knight getting engaged to Henry Brayshaw, a FIFO worker who is also the son of popular sports commentator James Brayshaw, shortly after.
“Her content is so in your face, it’s crass as all f**k,” he noted on the podcast episode of the difference between his fiancee’s content and Blue’s.
“A lot of it is rage bait, and ridiculous, which I understand is common in the industry but predominantly I just feel worse off for seeing her stuff.
“When I saw that whole ‘being in a box’ thing, I as someone who is familiar with the world you guys are in, I knew that was f**ked up. That’s ultimately what it comes down to.”
A spokesperson for OnlyFans said “extreme ‘challenge’ content is not permitted on the site,” stating it goes against its “Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service”.
“Any breach of our Terms of Service results in content or account deactivation,” the spokesperson told The Sun last month.
