Annie Knight reveals why she's no longer friends with Bonnie Blue
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 '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.

JENI O'DOWD: AI boyfriends, OnlyFans and 1000 hookups a year — Welcome to the era of performative intimacy
Remember Bonnie Blue? The British sex worker who flew into Australia to 'party' with teenage boys at Schoolies until her visa was cancelled? Her latest stunt got cancelled as well, a planned 24-hour bondage 'petting zoo' inside a glass box in London. The public backlash got there first. And she's been booted off OnlyFans for good. So what's next for a woman who built a brand on provocation? Probably a livestream. Possibly a meltdown. Because this isn't about female empowerment, it's about escalation. Porn as performance. Intimacy as spectacle. And it's what happens when we replace love with clicks and intimacy with metrics. How far will people go for attention? Just ask Annie Knight, the Australian creator who recently claimed to have slept with 1000 men in a year. One of those stunts involved 583 men in a single day. She ended up in the hospital. But the headlines kept coming, which I guess was the goal. But we are not just selling sex. We're now selling simulated closeness. Emotional proximity for the price of a monthly app. And it doesn't stop with porn. Meet the AI boyfriend. He's good-looking. He stares lovingly into your phone. He tells you what you want to hear. 'You don't have to do this alone. I've got you.' He never fights. Never forgets. Never leaves. Replika, one of the most popular AI companion apps, had more than 30 million users worldwide by the end of 2024. Newer players like HeraHaven racked up over a million downloads within months, while Google searches for 'AI boyfriend' surged by 700 per cent in just a year. This isn't some fringe tech fad. According to a January 2025 industry forecast, the global AI companion market is expected to grow from $2.7 billion in 2024 to $24.5 billion by 2034, representing an annual growth rate of nearly 25 per cent. Apps like APOB AI, Talkie and Glimpse let women create the ultimate boyfriend fantasy — responsive, devoted and emotionally fluent. Millions of women are watching these videos, replying 'I love you,' and posting fake holiday snaps with partners who don't exist. TikTok's #aiboyfriend tag now has nearly 90,000 posts, with many featuring 'soft boyfriend' role plays that garner millions of views. Because the boyfriend might be fake, but the dopamine hit is real. The Australian Psychological Society warns about the illusions of intimacy. 'We're just too complex,' says APS president Sara Quinn, in an interview with ABC News. 'It requires the ability for complex contextual judgements that AI at this stage just isn't equipped to handle.' Dr Raffaele Ciriello, a University of Sydney researcher studying AI-human interaction, flags a darker side. 'They have all the incentives to get users hooked and dependent… (but) they fail to be conscious, empathic or actually caring,' he told ABC Science earlier this month. American sociologist Sherry Turkle, in her book Alone Together, refers to it as 'artificial intimacy,' the illusion of companionship without the discomfort of genuine connection. 'We are lonely but fearful of intimacy. Digital connections and the sociable robot offer the illusion of companionship without the demands of friendship,' she says. Even journaling has gone synthetic. AI apps like Woebot and Mindsera encourage users to 'open up' to bots who reply with empathy-laced, algorithmic therapy. It's sold as self-care. But it's just more outsourcing. In 2025, 63 per cent of Australian men under the age of 30 are single, and nearly half of the women in the same age group are too. Choosing to be single isn't the problem. Life can be powerful and joyful when it's on your terms. The issue is what we're replacing a real connection with. Who needs an awkward first date or to meet your friends at a bar in the middle of winter when your couch is warm and you can easily access your AI companion? People are creating partners who never say no. They are watching OnlyFans creators who pretend to love them and talking to AI therapists who never roll their eyes. If we continue like this, we'll lose the ability to handle anything substantial. Anything that requires effort or pushes back.

Yet another blow for top cop after teenage son Charlie was tragically killed in hit-and-run at Schoolies
South Australia's most senior police officer, still reeling from the death of his son in a Schoolies hit-and-run, has revealed he is the subject of a misconduct investigation. South Australia 's Police Commissioner Grant Stevens confirmed he is being investigated over claims he accidentally discharged his firearm during a police operation in the 1990s. The revelation follows days of speculation over media reports on Sunday about a probe into an unidentified 'senior police officer.' Calling in to Adelaide radio station FIVEaa's David and Will on Wednesday morning, Commissioner Stevens said he wanted to be transparent. 'I thought I'd take the opportunity to come on and just maybe clear the air and put people out of their misery as to who the senior officer was that, 34 years ago, accidentally discharged their firearm while doing a police raid on a heroin dealer. 'The officer concerned was actually me.' The incident occurred during a raid on a suspected drug dealer's home in Adelaide's northern suburbs. According to Stevens, a bullet was unintentionally fired into the house during the operation and no one was injured. 'This is an incident that was managed in accordance with our procedures back at the time,' Commissioner Stevens explained. 'We were attempting to force entry into a house where a drug dealer was trying to get rid of drugs. And in the course of breaking a window to gain entry, I did discharge my firearm.' 'My supervisor was there at the time. I did the police report that was necessary, and it was reported to [the] Internal Investigations Branch on the day.' He firmly denied reports suggesting there had been a second accidental discharge of the gun. Commissioner Stevens and his family are still mourning the loss of their son Charlie, 18, who was killed in a hit-and-run while celebrating Schoolies at Goolwa Beach, south of Adelaide, in November of 2023. Mr Steven's son Charlie suffered significant brain damage in the crash and died at Flinders Medical Centre the next day, surrounded by family and friends. Dhirren Singh Randhawa, the 19-year-old driver of the car that struck Charlie, was given a suspended jail sentence. Randhawa was banned from driving for 10 years. Despite the crushing loss of their son, the Stevens family have been bravely advocating for organ donation and road safety. Mr Stevens, who has been SA's top cop since 2015, was one of four people nominated for the state's Australian of the Year in 2024.
