Bonnie Blue breaks silence over Bali arrest with defiant five-word plea
Adult star Bonnie Blue was arrested in Bali on suspicion of morality law breaches but officials found no pornographic content. She now faces deportation and a 10-year Indonesia ban for visa violations
Bonnie Blue has finally spoken out with a defiant statement following her detention in Bali on suspicion of violating the nation’s stringent ‘morality’ regulations, whilst police and immigration authorities deliberate over her future.
The polarising adult entertainer was thrown behind bars last Thursday after irate residents informed authorities that she had rented a lorry to traverse the tourist hotspot whilst recording explicit material with “barely legal” students. Bonnie had boasted about her salacious scheme prior to jetting off to Bali, urging young men visiting for “Schoolies” – an Australian post-graduation tradition – to participate with her.
Being a predominantly Muslim nation, Indonesia adopts a harsh stance on distributing, creating or publicly exhibiting adult material, with the performer potentially facing a maximum of 15 years imprisonment and a penalty of approximately £270,000 if found guilty of pornography charges.
Authorities discovered an array of explicit paraphernalia at her rented premises, including “school Bonnie Blue ” costumes, Viagra, contraceptives, recording equipment, memory sticks and intimate lubricants. Bonnie was detained alongside 17 male holidaymakers, though 14 of the gentlemen were freed without charges whilst the adult performer and three other men continued to be investigated.
The quartet were released from custody but endured two days of interrogation by immigration officials and had their travel documents confiscated. The 26 year old, whose real name is Tia Billinger, has now issued her first public statement following her detention, reports the Mirror.
Whilst entering the Ngurah Rai Immigration Office in Jimbaran, south of Kuta, on Wednesday, she faced questions about whether she intended to produce more adult content in Bali. Seemingly unfazed by the prospect of jail time, Bonnie responded curtly: “Subscribe and you’ll find out.”
She proved more reserved when questioned about her potential departure date, allegedly staying tight-lipped. A significant development has now emerged as authorities have revealed fresh information regarding their probe.
Yesterday, officials confirmed they discovered no evidence of pornographic material, meaning Bonnie and three other males have avoided prosecution.
Aiptu Ni Nyoman Ayu Inastuti, Acting Head of the Public Relations Sub-Division of the Badung Police, stated: “When they were raided, they were making collab content about a game where the winner would sleep with Bonnie Blue. No pornographic activities or acts have been found in the collaborative content.”
And during a press briefing outside the Ngurah Rai Immigration Office on Thursday, Immigration chief Heru Winarko announced that the adult performer had violated her travel visa conditions, and would consequently face deportation, according to Australia’s Daily Telegraph. He elaborated: “They have misused the visa they have to make content in Bali. They will be black-listed from entering Indonesia for at least 10 years (that) could be extended. Once police has finished with the investigation, after that we will deport them and put them (on) the blacklist.”
At the same briefing, Badung Police announced that Bonnie and three other men are now facing trial over the acquisition of her blue “Bang bus” due to its alleged lack of vehicle registration, according to local news outlet detikBali.
“One of the two British men in Blue’s entourage is also accused of not possessing an international driving licence while operating the open-back vehicle, as seen in numerous online videos,” the news source reported. “While in Bali, BB (Bonnie Blue) should have been travelling, but instead she was creating content,” stated Police Chief Arif Batubara.
The senior officer further noted that Bonnie’s purchase of a blue pickup truck for her content creation could be deemed a violation. The adult star and the British man are scheduled to appear in Denpasar District Court on Friday over the alleged offence.
