EXCLUSIVE: Lord Eddie Davenport, well known for his wild parties hosted in his property, has spoken out about a stabbing which took place where Bonnie Blue slept with 1,057 men
The owner of the mansion where Bonnie Blue held her ‘bonkathon’ has spoken out following a stabbing at an adult party. The incident took place on February 23 at the notorious Marylebone Mansion in Portland Place, central London, according to reports. Previously, Bonnie Blue used the location to stage her event where she slept with 1,057 men back to back.
Several photos emerged after the fact, with the main room used to film the event covered in used condoms and discarded clothing. This time, however, another party was held by self-styled Lord Eddie Davenport.
Davenport hosts extravagant parties alongside his work as a property developer. He has previously worked with Bonnie, but this most recent event did not involve her.
After the Daily Star reached out for comment, Davenport shared an update and emphasised he was not at the property.
He said: “I’m currently in Thailand, so I wasn’t there that night, but I’ve heard what happened, and we are assisting the police in every way possible and are continuing to do so.
“We’re delighted that the police acted swiftly and caught the culprits.”
Davenport added: “There were around 50 people at the party, and the individuals involved knew each other. Unfortunately, there are always people who go out, get drunk, and cause trouble. London is a big city, and incidents like this happen, but the important thing is that it’s been dealt with.
“There was no threat to our guests, and the individuals involved knew each other. Even though it was a private party, two girls introduced someone as their friend. A couple of girls I knew had come over and said, “Oh, this is a good friend of ours.” That wasn’t true – but that’s how they slipped through the net.”
The socialite said he’s taking the situation seriously: “In response, we’re implementing extra security measures, including ID scanning, and have had discussions with the police and security teams. We’ll also be vetting all guests who bring friends to stop an incident like this happening in the future.
“While we were initially served a closure notice, it was withdrawn after 24 hours. I wasn’t happy about it, but I accept that it was an emergency response.
“Ultimately, the fight is over, no one was seriously injured, and we continue to cooperate fully with authorities.”
According to reports, three men were stabbed during the bloody event. Paramedics and police flooded the event and four men were taken to hospital with injuries.
One source told the Sun: “There was blood everywhere with people lying injured all over the place. It looked like a battle scene rather than a club.” Four men were thought to have sustained stab wounds, but none were in life-threatening conditions.
A Met Police spokesperson said: “Police were called to an address at Portland Place, W1 at 07:00hrs on Sunday, 23 February following reports of an assault.”
