Bonnie Blue banned from Indonesia for 10 years for flouting visitors legislation on ‘Bangbus’ tour
An official said she was banned because her activities were ‘inconsistent with the government’s efforts to maintain Bali’s quality tourism image’ and she showed a lack of respect for cultural values
Adult content star Bonnie Blue has been banned from Indonesia for 10 years after claims that she filmed a sex game in Bali that could cause “public unrest”.
The controversial creator, 26, was arrested and slapped in handcuffs earlier this month during her “bangbus tour” of the holiday paradise. She was held alongside two British men and an Australian man on suspicion of producing pornographic content.
Cops stormed a studio during filming and she was held for allegedly producing pornographic material during a “raunchy” incident involving 17 male tourists.
A box of condoms, lubricant, flash drives, two sheets of Viagra and nine ink necklaces were impounded by cops at the studio villa.
The popular tourist country strictly doesn’t tolerate the production of pornographic material, it carries penalties of up to 12 years locked up and a fine of up to $360,000 (£178,387). Creating or even viewing pornography is banned.
Charges have not been pressed as “no elements of pornography or any unlawful distribution”.
But investigators did examine her phone and found video footage that was for “private documentation and not for public distribution”, the directorate general of immigration said.
Yuldi Yusman, acting head of the directorate, said authorities “found that they entered Indonesia using a visa on arrival for commercial content production that could potentially cause public unrest.”
He added: “Therefore, we imposed a 10-year entry ban because these activities are not in line with the government’s efforts to maintain Bali’s quality tourism image and respect for local cultural values.”
Bonnie – real name Tia Billinger – was cleared and fined the equivalent of £9 but was kicked out of the country for “working on a tourist visa.”
She was found guilty of breaking a string of road rules while using her “Bangbus” when she appeared in court on Friday.
Denpasar District Court judge I Ketut Somanasa said: “The defendants have lawfully committed the offense jointly and continuously.”
Footage of her making her way around the Indonesian island in her “Bangbus” was shown to the court.
The social media sensation bought the dark blue truck without valid vehicle registration documents before using it to promote her explicit videos. Prosecutors also said one of the Brits driving the open-backed car did not have a valid international driving licence.
A judge ordered the adult film actress “not to violate Bali’s traffic laws again” before she is understood to have replied: “I understand.”
It was previously reported the vehicle has been untaxed since 2023 and had allegedly been illegally repainted from white to blue without re-registration. Cops said they seized the vehicle during their raid on December 4.
They said: “While in Bali, Bonnie Blue should have been travelling, but instead she was creating content. They will be black-listed from entering Indonesia for at least 10 years – [that] could be extended.”
Bonnie, of Stapleford, Notts., had previously used a bus of the same name to tour universities looking for “barely legal” teens. She had planned to produce porn involving young adults in Australia last year but her tourist visa was cancelled.
In January, she claimed to have had sex with 1,057 men in 12 hours in a world record bid.
