Tia Billinger (born May 1999[1]), known professionally as Bonnie Blue,[2][3][4] is an English pornographic film actress. In 2025, she claimed to have had sex with 1,057 men in a single day in an attempt to set a world record. Blue has attracted controversy for filming sexual content with university students and commenting that sex with married men is acceptable if the men are not satisfied by their spouses.

Blue has claimed to make anywhere from £600,000[5] to more than $2 million (£1.5 million) per month on OnlyFans.[6] In June 2025, she announced a "petting zoo" event in which she would be tied up naked inside a glass box with the goal of having sex with 2,000 men. OnlyFans then terminated her account for violating the site's rules against "extreme challenges". Blue then moved her content to Fansly.

Early life

[edit]

Blue was born in May 1999 in Stapleford, Nottinghamshire.[1] She never knew her biological father and was raised by her mother and stepfather.[1] Before beginning her pornographic film career, she worked in finance recruitment for the National Health Service (NHS)[2] and was married. In 2021, her marriage ended and she moved to Australia,[7] although she told Cosmopolitan in 2025 that her ex-husband still worked with her "behind-the-scenes".[7][8]

Pornographic film career

[edit]

Stating that she was "bored of living in the 9 to 5",[8] Blue became a webcam model and, after making US$5,000 in one week, and £8,000 in her first month,[1] she launched an OnlyFans page on which she posted videos of herself having sex with 18- and 19-year-old men.[7] In 2024, During schoolies week in Australia and freshers' week in Derby and Nottingham, Blue posted her location online and allowed men to have sex with her for free,[9] so long as they consented to the sex being filmed and posted online.[7][8]

In November 2024, her visas were cancelled in Australia and Fiji for working without an appropriate visa.[10]

World record attempt for most sexual partners in a day

[edit]

In January 2025, Blue attempted to break the world record for the most number of sexual partners in one day,[4] claiming to have had sex with 1,057 men in 12 hours.[3][11] The record has been held since 2004 by pornographic film actress Lisa Sparxxx, who reportedly had sex with 919 men in a single day.[a] Blue's co-stars wore balaclavas, one man brought his mother, and her final co-star began by thanking the cameraman and crew and then singing "You've Got a Friend in Me" from Toy Story.[13] Footage of men queuing and one man being forcibly removed from the event by his mother subsequently became a viral video.[12]

Mainstream media appearances

[edit]

Blue claims to have had sex with married men who were unsatisfied with their spouses, and has made several podcast appearances in which she blamed women for their partners' infidelity; many viewers expressed concern that Blue's comments were misogynistic and contributed to sexual objectification of women.[7] In August 2024, Blue reiterated her comments that sex with married men is acceptable if the men are not satisfied by their spouses on The Kyle and Jackie O Show.[7]

Blue has been accused of manipulating naive young people into performing sex on camera and of not considering the long-term impact on such men.[7][8] Blue remarked in an interview with Cosmopolitan that questions of whether the young men in her videos understood the consequences were "stupid", saying "we've got no problem sending 18-year-olds to war".[12]

In October 2024, on GK Barry's Saving Grace podcast, Blue discussed her amateur pornography featuring 18- and 19-year-olds, which created controversy.[14] Blue stated that she checks identification, all participants are of legal age, and those complaining about the young age of her co-stars should instead encourage the government of the United Kingdom to increase the country's age of consent. She attributed the controversy to the podcast's female audience, prompting some to accuse her of misogyny. GK Barry later deleted the episode.[15]

In December 2024, a video of Blue outside Nottingham Trent University stating that she was there to have sex with "barely legal 18 year olds" became a viral video.[16][17] The video was edited to feature the logo of online casino Stake.com and posted on Twitter by an account claiming to be affiliated with the company and known for posting viral videos. According to The Daily Telegraph, it was unclear whether Blue was involved in creating the adverts.[16][17] Anti-gambling campaigners contacted the UK's culture secretary to request censorship of the advertisement for using sexual content to promote gambling to young people.[4][16][17]

In February 2025, Blue posted on Instagram a picture of noodles, pickles, and chocolate sauce next to the word "#cravings" followed by a series of photos of herself with the caption "It's giving milf vibes", leading to speculation that she was pregnant;[8] she later admitted that this was a stunt.[18]

In April 2025, Blue sponsored Calstock FC, an amateur football club based in Cornwall, but was dropped as a sponsor shortly afterwards.[19]

In May 2025, Britain's Channel 4 announced a documentary about Blue's attempt to have sex with more than 1,000 men in a day.[6][5]

In June 2025, Blue announced and later cancelled a "petting zoo" in which she would be naked and tied up inside a glass box that would be accessible to the public, allowing men to do what they pleased with her body. She said her goal was to have sex with 2,000 men during the event.[20] The idea drew criticism from fellow OnlyFans creators including Sophie Rain,[21] who described the stunt as a "circus".[3] As a result, OnlyFans reportedly banned Blue from the platform for violating its rules against "extreme challenges".[20][22][23] The Economist attributed the ban to the platform's impending "$8bn sale", while commenting that Blue's Wikipedia article received more views than Beyoncé's and almost as many as Taylor Swift's.[13]

In November 2024, on the ITV daytime show This Morning, Blue debated against reality television personality Ashley James over the promotion of her content.[24]

Reception

[edit]

Journalist Sophie Wilkinson wrote of Blue "She is a cog in a far bigger machine, and I just want to know who hurt her".[7]

Claire Hubble of the i wrote that Blue's virality was "a reflection of the outrage economy" and compared her success to that of Katie Hopkins.[25]

Eli Cugini of Dazed criticised tabloids for their coverage of both Blue's stunt and fellow OnlyFans creator Lily Phillips's I Slept with 100 Men in One Day.[26] Joe Price of Complex stated that there seemed to be an "OnlyFans arms race" between Blue, Phillips, and Sophie Rain to see who could go viral most often.[11] Wilkinson, writing for Elle, said that both Blue and the 4B movement were "highly-publicised and extreme responses to our sexual culture"[27] and that Blue had "given hypersexualisation a figurehead".[28] Victoria Smith of UnHerd accused Blue of promoting "misogyny" and "dehumanisation".[27]

Blue said in an interview that "You can do this job [sex work] because you enjoy it, because it's a million dollar business" and that her family supported her actions.[27]

Felicity Martin of Glamour, Olivia Petter of The Independent, and television personality Olivia Attwood have asked why Blue and Phillips were being shamed but not the men who queued to have sex with them.[29][30][31] Petter compared the stunt with the rape of Gisèle Pelicot, in which groups of men also queued to "have sex with a woman they don't know".[27] Eva Wiseman wrote in The Guardian that "While Phillips and Blue's intentions and morals and psychic damage have been frequently interrogated, the men lining up to be the 20th or 60th person to penetrate a stranger for three minutes [...] have been granted barely a glancing thought".[32]

Brit Dawson in Cosmopolitan described Blue and Phillips as "beautiful, blonde, middle class girls leaving their 'respectable' lives to proudly enter the sex industry" who are "perfect tabloid fodder" at a time of rising sex-negative conservatism, and that the reaction to them is a "quintessential moral panic". Dawson argued that Blue represents the antithesis to the usual portrayal of sex workers as victims rather than "autonomous workers", and so has instead been portrayed in the media as a "man-eater".[12]
