Bonnie Blue sends entire nation into meltdown
It seems that there is only one thing people want to talk in the UK right now and its Bonnie Blue's jaw-dropping documentary 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story.
The doco about the infamous OnlyFans star's life behind the scenes has made headlines for weeks and is the subject of countless podcast debates, opinion pieces and TikToks.
In the Channel 4 film, Bonnie presents herself as a feminist that 'enjoys gang bangs' and is simply a savvy businesswoman who earns millions a month.
But filmmakers courted controversy by showing explicit photographs, including an image of Bonnie with her face covered in what appeared to be semen, and engaging in an explicit sex act with a male porn star.
The film also drew ire from advertisers who demanded their ads be removed from Channel 4's on-demand site.
It is easy to see what they might have got upset about.
In the opening scene Bonnie is filmed posting a video to social media asking 'dads, husbands, students, and barely legal 18-year-olds to rearrange her insides'.
She says she doesn't care if they are 'barely legal or barely breathing'.
Rather than taking feminism backwards by telling men to use her body for their pleasure she proclaims to be a modern day feminist icon.
'The way I look at it I am now a millionaire, I'm a woman, I'm independent, I use my body to empower me, I don't let other people sexualise me, I sexualise myself. I'm showing I can take control.'
Step aside, Malala.
One way she 'takes control' is by organising a record-breaking 1000-men gang bang in London, inviting anyone to take part.
Footage of people in the queue, semi-naked men in just their socks, went viral on social media.
Bonnie and her videographer 'Josh' explain that for the first three hours it was 'pure gang bang' but they soon realised that if they were going to smash the world record for a woman having sex with the most men in a day they would have to come up with a better system.
After that the men were invited to penetrate Bonnie for what the filmmaker estimated was around 40 seconds before moving along.
After the event Bonnie celebrates by lying down naked on used condoms, proclaiming that she has wanted to do this 'all day'.
You might wonder how a nice girl from Nottinghamshire ended up as one of the most controversial women in the world.
Bonnie explains that her journey into porn started after she worked in recruitment for the NHS, a job apparently so boring that she'd rather have sex with 1000 strangers who were not required to have an STI test.
She complained that the job was too 'repetitive' and was day in, day out calls.
After moving to Australia with her husband Ollie (they are now separated) she started making content for OnlyFans.
However, Bonnie was deported for offering to sleep with Schoolies and film their encounters for the adult subscription site.
'My kink is gang bangs,' she says simply.
'I was the most searched woman in the world last year.
'I get to travel amazing places.
'My bank account has millions in it.
'I feel sorry those people giving me hate, I'm sorry you're so basic.'
Bonnie claims she made two million pounds (around $4 million) a month until she was kicked off OnlyFans for her latest stunt innovatively called Bonnie's 'petting zoo'.
She said she wanted to be tied up in a glass cage, 'giving' her body to the public.
'They can f*ck me, touch me. Just watch me like you would a zoo animal,' she says in a one social media clip.
OnlyFans banned her for the planned stunt saying they don't support extreme content.
Despite her healthy bank balance and bravado, Bonnie admits she no longer goes out alone.
'It's not that safe,' she says.
She has now signed with another platform called Fansly and says she won't stop trolling or bonking until she earns £500 million a month and is the most famous porn star in the world.
There is no denying Bonnie's success, she has become a household name and other content creators look up to her, working with her for free just to get tagged in a social media video.
I'm not sure what it says about Gen Z that one OnlyFans creator who agreed to take part in school-themed gang bang for free described their job as 'better than being stuck behind a desk all day' while another said it was a 'win/win'.
Honestly guys, working at a desk is fine.
I'm doing it right now and no one is making me take Viagra or have sex with a grown man in a school uniform.
What is scary about Bonnie's situation is that her business model is based on 'rage bait'.
The more people talking about her the more money she makes but that leads her to do riskier stunts, more extreme sexual content and provoke more hatred online.
She admits to getting 'hundreds of death threats a day' and lives in fear of an acid attack.
'I can imagine some spiteful girls would do that,' she says.
And yet she continues her daily trolling.
'I loved looking down when I was doing the world record and seeing how many men had wedding rings on,' she says in one social media post.
'I loved knowing I was doing something their wives should have done.'
In another she says: 'Hey men when a girl says she's on her period, there's nothing wrong with her throat.'
And what do Bonnie's family say about her chosen career path?
'Would it be something I chose for her to do?' Bonnie's mum Sarah says.
'No, I was really, really shocked but now would I want her doing anything else? No not at all. All I want is for her to be happy and she is happy.
'She's got no daddy issues, she's not been abused. It's her choice, she's 25.'
Sarah says that Bonnie's haters are hypocrites because 'if you could earn a million pounds in a month you're morals would soon change and you'd get your bits out'.
Some would, for me sitting behind a desk is just fine.

TIFF backtracks on Hamas attack doco after disinvitation uproar
Earlier this week, TIFF withdrew its invitation to the film The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue. The festival said the decision was based in part on legal clearance for footage used in the documentary. Deadline, which first reported the news, said a sticking point was the identification and legal clearance of Hamas militants' own livestreaming of the attack. On Thursday evening, TIFF chief executive Cameron Bailey and The Road Between Us filmmaker Barry Avrich issued a joint statement announcing the film's selection. 'Both TIFF and the filmmakers have heard the pain and frustration expressed by the public and we want to address this together,' said Bailey and Avrich. 'We have worked together to find a resolution to satisfy important safety, legal, and programming concerns.' 'In this case, TIFF's communication around its requirements did not clearly articulate the concerns and roadblocks that arose and for that, we are sorry,' they continued. The film chronicles the story of retired Israeli General Noam Tibon, whose efforts to save his family and others during the Oct. 7, 2023 attack was profiled in a 60 Minutes segment. After being informed that the film wouldn't screen at the festival, the Road Between Us filmmakers issued a statement claiming TIFF 'censored its own programming by refusing the film.' Bailey disputed that allegation, and pleaded that the situation demanded sensitivity. 'The events of October 7, 2023, and the ongoing suffering in Gaza weigh heavily on us, underscoring the urgent need for compassion amid rising antisemitism and Islamophobia,' Bailey said on Wednesday. The Toronto International Film Festival, North America's largest film festival, runs Sept. 4–14. AP Review Liam Neeson's very particular set of acting skills range from the dramatic to the comedic, the romantic, and just plain ass-kicking. His new film showcases more of these talents. Review On her first album outside of the major-label ecosystem, the indie pop artist remains as capricious as ever while swinging between anxiety and acceptance, self-empowerment and self-effacement.

For years, Uli could not legally share his experiences of being under state control. Now he can
When Uli Cartwright set out to work on a documentary about his life, he didn't expect it would lead him to the steps of Victoria's parliament. Cartwright lives with disability, and had spent time living under a state-governed administration order. He saw the documentary as a chance to share his broader life experience and "peel back the stigmas". "I wanted to break stereotypes and forge my own path," he says. "I accepted that if I can't do a nine-to-five job because my health won't let me, I may as well make my own job advocating and bringing awareness to disability, chronic illness and mental health." The documentary, Life is a Battlefield, is available online. However, at one point, it was taken down over concerns it breached a confidentiality law affecting those involved in guardianship or administration proceedings in Victoria. This week, Cartwright joined the Greens in seeking to change it . Cartwright lives with several disabilities, and says he sees the world differently. Credit: Otis Filley "I didn't know what the legacy, or the message, of my movie was going to be," he tells SBS News. "But it turned out to be this law." Under administration Living with several disabilities, Cartwright, 30, says he sees the world differently. "I think my experiences can be insightful, and also allow me to be more empathetic … but obviously, there's barriers to just existing because the world is very different for people with disability," he says. Cartwright was born with multiple chronic health conditions, including a lung condition, and spent the first three years of his life in hospital. He also lives with mental health issues and ADHD. This forced him to grow up quickly. "[Having] a social life and friends were difficult," he says. While I didn't really have a childhood, I was forced into having to deal with life and navigate it at a young age. Cartwright was in foster care until the age of 18 and later moved into a group home. "I was a typical young person who didn't really want to be controlled or listen to anybody, and I didn't want to have responsibility. I was just exhausted from being an adult, really," he says. "I don't think I had the right supports in place. So, people made assumptions of my capacity." While at the group home, a support worker applied to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) to put Cartwright on an administration order. This meant his finances were under the control of the State Trustees. Cartwright understands this was due to "inappropriate" spending. In Australia, a person may be placed under guardianship or administration orders if they require help with decision-making. As specified in an order, an appointed guardian has legal authority to make decisions or support decision-making for someone over personal and lifestyle matters, while an administrator is granted authority for financial and property matters. Advocates have reported an increase in applications for guardianship and financial administration since the introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme, according to a recent report from the Disability Advocacy Network Australia. In some states, concerns have been raised that guardianship is increasingly being used by service providers, particularly as a means to avoid engaging with families who are advocating for an individual's rights. Cartwright was subject to an administration order for three years. Credit: Otis Filley In Cartwright's experience, being under an administration order "strips you of your identity even more". After three years, his order was revoked. Telling his story SBS acquired and broadcast Life is a Battlefield in December 2021 to mark the International Day of People with Disability. Afterwards, it was available online via SBS' streaming service On Demand. Two weeks later, VCAT raised concerns regarding Cartwright's identification as a person previously under the control of State Trustees, which is subject to restrictions by law. SBS made the decision to temporarily remove the program from On Demand to allow the tribunal's concerns to be addressed. Under clause 37 in schedule 1 of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 1998, a person must not publish or broadcast information that identifies parties involved in guardianship and administration proceedings. In Cartwright's case, this meant he could not legally identify himself. SBS News is investigating experiences of guardianship in Australia. Have you got a story to share? Get in touch at investigations@ or securely contact Emma Brancatisano at . The only exception to this law — which is commonly referred to as a 'gag law' — is if the tribunal makes an order stating that identification can proceed because it is considered to be in the public interest. Cartwright applied to VCAT for a declaration that clause 37 did not apply in his case. A tribunal deputy president made an order allowing Uli to be identified, meaning he could tell his story. He is one of the very few Australians currently or formerly under guardianship or administration orders able to do so. 'We need to start somewhere' The publication of information about guardianship proceedings is prohibited in most Australian states and territories, excluding the ACT. The specific conditions under which publication may go ahead vary across jurisdictions. While these rules are designed to protect vulnerable people, they essentially act as a 'gag', preventing those subject to them from talking publicly about their experiences. They also, by and large, stop the media from covering them. Cartwright believes, in certain contexts, gag laws can lead to the public missing out on hearing important stories. "You can't solve and protect somebody when you haven't experienced it. And if you haven't experienced it, you need to listen to the people who are," he says. "I would argue that it's a form of institutionalisation. It's kind of like setting us aside. We're here, you want to protect us, but you don't want to listen to us." The Disability Royal Commission acknowledged that confidentiality laws impact the rights of people with disability. It also recommended that states and territories look to "repeal provisions prohibiting publication of material identifying a party to the proceedings as the default position". Cartwright sees reforming gag laws as a first step towards navigating — and reforming — the "complicated" guardianship system as a whole. If we don't change this law, we can't talk about it openly. "We need to start somewhere." A fresh push in Victoria On Wednesday, Greens MP Anasina Gray-Barberio introduced a proposed amendment to Victoria's legislation regarding the gag law, while Cartwright watched on from the chamber. "The bill basically states that this gag provision is not the default provision. I'm not interested in getting rid of it," he says. 'I do believe that there needs to be some protections in place to stop abuse and weaponisation of people's stories." Gray-Barberio told members of parliament the current restrictions set out in clause 37 are "outdated and fail to uphold fundamental human rights". "It strips away their [people with disability] dignity and autonomy, and leaves them silenced and disempowered. "By silencing individuals, this clause shields guardians, administrators, and service providers from scrutiny — a critical flaw in how this law currently stands." Cartwright believes reforming gag laws is a first step to bring about change. Credit: Otis Filley The push for reform in Victoria is backed by the Office of the Public Advocate — the state disability rights advocacy body — along with disability advocacy organisation VALID, and service providers Yooralla and Life Without Barriers. Debate on the bill has been adjourned for two weeks. A Victorian government spokesperson said in a statement the government acknowledges the rights of people with a disability to have a say in decision-making that directly impacts their lives. "We have accepted in principle the Royal Commission's recommendation to amend guardianship and administration laws by removing any 'default' confidentiality provisions," the spokesperson said. "We will continue to work with the Office of the Public Advocate and those with lived experience of disability and guardianship to ensure Victoria's laws remain effective." Tasmania leading reforms Elsewhere in Australia, reforms are slowly being considered. Changes to Tasmania's guardianship and administration gag law were introduced last year following a campaign by Advocacy Tasmania. The non-profit rights advocacy organisation started a broader push to end what it termed "abhorrent" guardianship and administration practices in 2021, including gag laws. "Tasmanians whose lives were being utterly destroyed by guardianship and administration were coming to us day in and day out, completely desperate for help," chief executive Leanne Groombridge tells SBS News. "As an organisation that defends people's rights every day, we could do nothing to help protect them — it was a David and Goliath battle, but where Goliath won every time. We knew the whole guardianship system had to change, and we knew people's stories were how you open the door to a possibility of change. "But the very system that was enabling these abuses to happen was gagging people from speaking out about what was happening to them." A Department of Justice spokesperson confirmed in a statement that restrictions prohibiting the disclosure of information relating to a represented person under the Guardianship and Administration Act 1995 were removed last September. Groombridge wants to see guardianship gag laws reformed across the country. However, in Tasmania, she says there's "so much further to go". "While people can now freely consent to telling their own story, we are still hearing far too many similar stories. People are still being denied choice and agency in their own lives, under the guise of protecting them from harm." Guardianship gag laws across Australia Tasmania and the ACT have different approaches compared with other states. SBS contacted each jurisdiction and asked whether it supported reform to its current legislation. An ACT Justice and Community Safety Directorate spokesperson confirmed there is no provision preventing the disclosure of identifying information about a person involved in such proceedings as a default position. The tribunal can make an order if the right to a public hearing is outweighed by competing interests, however. In NSW, the NT and Queensland, the publication of proceedings that identify a represented person is prohibited. Different discretions are in place for tribunals to authorise publication, while there is no guidance on this in NSW. A NSW Department of Communities and Justice spokesperson told SBS News the government "supports the overarching principle that a person to whom a guardianship or financial management order relates should be able to tell their story", but that any amendment "would need to appropriately balance privacy concerns with this objective". The spokesperson said the government "will consider" the issue in light of recommendations from a NSW Law Reform Commission review. Over the border in Queensland, a spokesperson for the Department of Justice told SBS News the state's attorney-general is continuing to work with ministers to implement recommendations from the Disability Royal Commission, and that reforming confidentiality legislation "remains under consideration". An NT Department of Corrections spokesperson said the Public Guardian and Trustee is "supportive of sensible reform that would strengthen the promotion of the rights and dignity of people with disability who want to tell their story publicly". Currently, there is no active or proposed review. Meanwhile, in South Australia, a person must not publish a report of any guardianship or administration proceedings. Its tribunal can authorise publication, but only where it does not identify the protected person. "Authorities have taken the view that this does not prevent a person from identifying themselves, or speaking publicly about their experiences within the guardianship system," a spokesperson for the state's attorney-general's department said. "Consideration is still being given to whether changes are needed to ensure that an individual's right to speak about their experiences is protected while also ensuring sufficient safeguards are in place." Cartwright is setting his sights beyond Victoria, as reforms are being considered across the country. Credit: Otis Filley In Western Australia, a person must not publish or broadcast any report that identifies or could lead to the identification of a protected person. There is no tribunal discretion under any circumstances. A Department of Justice spokesperson said the state's Law Reform Commission is currently conducting a review. 'Let us speak' Cartwright is mindful that he has won the right to speak. While he wants parliamentarians to take him seriously, his main hope is that others with disability "feel heard and seen". And, he's setting his sights on other states. "If you really want to protect us, let us speak, because we want to work with you," he says. "People with disability feel out of place and outcast. We want to educate you. We are not scary … We're just like you. "We struggle, that's it. We all struggle. Just give us a chance to educate you, please."
