People say I'm setting women back, but they're mums relying on boyfriends or benefits says Bonnie Blue in shocking chat
As The Sun's Sexpert, there's not much that shocks me. I've been to swinging parties, witnessed 50-strong orgies and even taken part in an orgasm contest in New York.

You could say I'm unshockable, and I'd have agreed with you — until Bonnie burst on to the scene.
I've covered the industry long enough to know what's what, and I count porn stars, escorts and OnlyFans models as friends.
But such is Bonnie's determination to perform the most degrading stunts imaginable, she's a tough one to defend.
Her shock claim to fame — bedding over 1,000 men in 12 hours — and filming sex content with 'barely legal' students saw her accused of 'setting women back 100 years'.
She has even been branded as dangerous for women as toxic masculinity influencer Andrew Tate, not least for referring to herself as a 'slut'.
'I love sex with public'
So today, I'm sitting down with the 26-year-old to find out what really drives her — and maybe even get under her skin.
Readers will know that The Sun does not make a habit of interviewing porn stars. But Bonnie is more than that.
She is the disturbing reality of what happens when pornography and the world of 'influencers' collide, just as much a staple on the unregulated social media pages your kids scroll through as she is on adult sites.
Bonnie is riding a new wave of anything-goes promiscuity that's genuinely worrying — and that's coming from someone who has built a career on being 'sex positive'.
Real name Tia Billinger, she grew up in Draycott, a village between Derby and Nottingham, and was virtually unknown until she catapulted to fame in October last year.
Bonnie Blue CANCELS disgusting 'petting zoo' event after extreme backlash, but reveals 10 THOUSAND men applied
Her extraordinary story is laid bare in new fly-on-the-wall Channel 4 documentary, 1,000 Men And Me: The Bonnie Blue Story, airing tomorrow.
With immaculately blow-dried blonde hair and a preppy style, she's far from the stereotypical porn star.
There's an old-money vibe about her — part of her appeal no doubt, and the shock factor. I ask her about being permanently banned from adult platform OnlyFans last month, after inviting men to have sex with her in a twisted so-called 'petting zoo'.
Claiming to be inspired by David Blaine, she wanted to tie herself up inside a glass box in the centre of London, which would be 'open for the public' to do 'whatever they want' with her.
'It's frustrating, I've never broken a single f * g rule,' she fumes. 'I went from earning £2million a month to zero. It makes me look like I lie to my fans.
"They [OnlyFans] would prefer me to do a cooking show or a dog's yoga retreat, but it's a sex site.
People say I'm setting women back, but when I check their profiles, they're often stay-at-home mums relying on a boyfriend or benefits.
Bonnie Blue
'I love having sex with the public and that is not going to stop. OnlyFans has tried to cancel me, but it's done the opposite.'
So does Bonnie think she's setting women back with such degrading behaviour, teaching young men that it's OK to treat them as objects?
'I say I'm not a feminist, but a lot of my views are,' she says. 'I believe in equality, women being in control and not feeling intimidated by men. I do what I want, when I want, and I feel safe doing it.
'People say I'm setting women back, but when I check their profiles, they're often stay-at-home mums relying on a boyfriend or benefits — and I think, hang on a second.'
Bonnie's controversial bonkfest during Nottingham Uni Freshers' Week, which saw her have sex with 150 18-year-olds — many of whom she claimed were virgins — made news.
But it was her stunt in January that really caused outcry, as she claimed to have slept with over 1,000 men in 12 hours, working out at less than 45 seconds per fella.

She later revealed she was left covered in bruises and bite marks from the sex marathon and issued a thank-you to 'all the barely legal, barely breathing and the husbands'.
One of the first things that strikes me about Bonnie is how tiny she is.
When I go to give her a hug, she's so delicate and pint-sized I worry I might crush her.
I can't help but think about her being thrown around in her infamous gang bangs and wonder how she wasn't seriously damaged.
I imagine my young kids — already exposed to social media — stumbling across her content and shudder.
I'd be heartbroken if my three-year-old daughter ever thought this was inspirational, and asked Bonnie what led her down this path.
'Everyone wants me to say I've been through something traumatic in my past,' she says. 'But it's not true. They just can't accept that I want to do this because I enjoy sex.'
I enjoy sex, too, but I find it hard to believe anyone could genuinely enjoy a 1,000-strong orgy. I ask her if she actually orgasms during these stunts and how her body felt the next day.
'Oh it's completely hit and miss,' she explains. 'Even in my personal sex life, I have to remind them how I like it.
"Most of these men are inexperienced, so I don't, but I enjoy giving them a good experience. My jaw hurt more than I did down there after the 1,000 challenge,' she adds nonchalantly.
'My legs were burning, too.'
Bonnie says she ordered a burger and watched Dexter on Netflix that evening as she was 'too excited to sleep', then treated herself to a massage and facial at a spa the next day.
Another Brit OnlyFans content created, Lily Phillips, pulled a similar stunt in December, bedding 101 men in 24 hours and documenting it for YouTube.
Unlike Bonnie, Lily, from Derbyshire, claims the experience left her in tears — yet she still pledged to go a step further and sleep with 1,000 men in 24 hours.
But Bonnie nailed the challenge first — and in half the time. The pair previously made joint content, but Lily has since claimed their views 'don't quite align'.
Last month, Bonnie sat down to debate with misogynist Andrew Tate, who described her as 'the end point of feminism'. 'I'd been called the female version of Andrew Tate for a long time,' she tells me.
'His opinion is that women have fought for years to be in control and have their say and do what they want with their bodies. I do exactly that. So if that's the outcome, so be it.'
Like Andrew, she's a Marmite figure — loved by some, loathed by others — and receives hundreds of death threats a day online. 'Last time I went out by myself was six months ago,' she explains. 'It's not safe.'
It's hard not to find this incredibly sad. What's the point of making big money if you can't actually enjoy it?
'I want to be the best at what I do,' explains Bonnie. 'I'm not driven by material things and would rather be at home doing a puzzle than glammed up at a red carpet event.'
'Part-time nun'
When she's not filming controversial content, she spends her time fishing, surfing and doing jigsaws.
She says the only time she's been hurt was when someone uploaded a photo of her late grandad and falsely claimed he had sexually assaulted her.
'My family are getting double looks in the street,' she revealed. 'It made me realise the impact I was having on my family.'
So how did someone like Bonnie, who seems to have it all, end up here? 'Growing up, I loved dancing,' she explains.
'But you've got to have money to make it. All the big dance schools are in London and I couldn't even afford a train ticket there.'
Bonnie was studying midwifery before she dropped out of college and worked for the NHS doing recruitment finance.
She later moved to Australia in her early twenties with her ex-husband Ollie, an estate agent.
'The move really helped me become a sex worker,' she recalls. 'It got me out of that small-town mindset where you're constantly comparing yourself to others.'
She was inspired by women on TikTok flaunting their sex work earnings and decided to give it a go. 'I wanted money, freedom and to feel in control,' she says.
Bonnie was racked with nerves before starting, but her ex-husband was her rock.
'My palms were sweating. I had no idea what I was doing — I didn't even know all the sex terms,' she recalls.
'I had a separate laptop next to me and any time someone asked something I didn't understand, I'd quickly Google it because I was too embarrassed to admit it.
They expect me to drop my pants because they're famous.
Bonnie Blue
'Some guys were just lonely and wanted a conversation, other guys wanted me to strip down within 60 seconds with a sex toy inside of me.'
Bonnie claims that, before she got into sex work, she'd only slept with five people and described her sex life as 'vanilla'.
'We had sex three or four times a week after watching Netflix,' she recalls. 'My friends would say they had a threesome at the weekend and I'd say, 'Oh my God that's crazy. I'd never even had a one night stand.'
Bonnie separated from Ollie last year and their divorce will be finalised next month. 'I'll always love and care for my ex dearly,' she explains.
'But I didn't look at him in the end and think, 'Oh I want to have sex with you'. We became brother and sister in the end.'
Bonnie tells how big celebs slide into her DMs, but she's not interested.
'They expect me to drop my pants because they're famous' she laughs.
'But unless they'll film content and be identified, I'm not going to sleep with them. I'm like a part-time nun. I'm one extreme to the next.'
She would like to start dating, but it's not a priority.
'I've done what people think is happiness,' she says. 'Marriage, buying a house, a nice car, having money — and they didn't make me happy.'
Bonnie struggled to conceive with her ex and isn't naturally maternal. If she decides to have kids, it would be through IVF or adoption.
I like Bonnie — she's witty and self-deprecating, cracking jokes at her own expense and clearly enjoys shocking people.
But I can't help wondering if it's her armour against the world.
As we talk, I wonder what her life will be like five years from now.
When her looks fade, will she have to go to even greater extremes for attention? 'If it doesn't make me happy, then I'll be the first to stop,' she explains. 'I'm in control.'
Bonnie tells me she hopes the documentary will shift public perception — not just of her, but of the men who sleep with her.
'I want people to know these men aren't disgusting,' she says. 'They're nice people.
'I'm also happy because everyone assumes that behind the cameras, I must be crying, upset or broken — but that's not the case.
'People think I must be sick in the head to enjoy this. But I'm living a life I'm incredibly grateful for. I feel very, very lucky.'
But at what cost?

Sublime singer suffers personal tragedy, almost cancels performance
Sublime singer Jakob Nowell nearly didn't take to the stage during Vans Warped Tour in Long Beach on Saturday following a heartbreaking loss. The music artist, 30, emotionally revealed to the audience during the set that he had to put his beloved hairless cat Creature down before the band's performance. 'Creature the cat was my best f***ing friend,' he expressed as the other members prepared to play the next song. Jakob then admitted, 'I almost didn't want to play today but I thought to myself, "I don't know what any of you guys are going through out there."' After commenting on the size of the crowd outside, he added, 'I know a lot of people look forward to a set like this man. So, good to be up here playing my father's music with my best friends and family.' Jakob is notably the son of late singer Bradley Nowell - who had been the frontman of Sublime until his tragic passing in 1996 due to a heroin overdose at the age of 28. Jakob's hairless sphynx cat had often appeared on his main Instagram page, along with another hairless cat named Fluffy. Some images show Creature cuddling up on his lap, or wearing adorable outfits for special occasions. He has also mentioned his beloved pet during interviews, including his conversation with Rooster Magazine last year. At one point, Jakob was asked if Sublime has plans to have another mascot. Before his father's death, Bradley's dalmatian named Lou Dog had been the band's official mascot. 'Oh no because I have my band cat, Creature the hairless sphynx cat. He's pink. He's chubby. He's my mascot for Jakob's Castle,' the singer explained, referencing to his other band. Sublime had been formed in 1988 with Bradley as the frontman along with Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh. However, the ska punk band disbanded after Bradley's death. In 2009, Eric and Bud came together wanting to reform the group - which they eventually did with Romeo Ramirez. They called the group Sublime With Romeo due to not having the rights to use the original name. But in 2023, Jakob became the lead singer of the band alongside Eric and Bud, officially reforming Sublime. The following year, Sublime With Romeo disbanded after Eric announced his exit. Jakob has followed in his late father's musical footsteps aside from currently being the lead singer of Sublime - which has previously dropped tracks such as What I Got and Wrong Way. He formed his own group called LAW, which he left in 2021 and is also the frontman of his other band Jakob's Castle. Jakob is the son of Bradley and mom Troy Dendekker. The pair had begun dating in the 90s and married just one week before the singer's death during a ceremony in Las Vegas. During an interview with L.A. Magazine, Jakob got candid about his childhood, getting sober and his relationship with his mother. 'I grew up with a crazy tumultuous home life,' he explained. 'When I got sober, I didn't speak with [my parents] for years. 'There was just a lot of white-trash chaos. Definitely no silver spoon status. It was insanity.' He has since reconciled with his mother Troy as well as the man who raised him since he was six named Keith. Jakob also reflected on deciding to reform Sublime and explained to the outlet that he wants 'to bring attention to the very powerful California subculture that [he] created, and then use it as a tool to help people.' While talking to last year, the singer further opened up about his father - who passed away less than a year after he was born. 'I think that he was a man who was widely loved and respected by his friends. He was a human being like anybody else. He was varied. He had good days and bad days.' Jakob continued, 'But I think we have to just take everybody's character based on their actions and what they produced and created in the world. 'And I know that his music helped a lot of people, and I just feel so grateful to get to be involved with and get to interface with it like that.' The performer also added, 'It's been really nice getting to put together the gestalt to who he was 'cause I never met him personally... 'But all his different friends and family and the fans, they each have a little piece of who he was, and he seemed to be a very multifaceted and interesting man.' Jakob also discussed being compared to his later father and said, 'When I'm up there on stage, I always tell fans I'm not my dad. They're like, "He doesn't play the guitar the same or sing the same or do this." 'It's almost like I'm not him, dude; I'm a different guy. My larynx just happens to be biologically similar, so sometimes it sounds similar.' 'But I will play them genuinely and I'll have fun doing it, and that's all I can promise,' the singer expressed. Ahead of the Sublime's set during the Vans Warped Tour on Saturday, the band dropped their new single titled Ensenada on July 17.

Devil Wears Prada 2 cast start filming and New Yorkers catch a glimpse
There is a feeding frenzy on the streets of Manhattan. The hunting pack: millennial fashionistas armed with iPhones and TikTok. The prey: Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci, Chanel, Fendi, Valentino and, most importantly, Prada. After years of speculation, the cast of the 2006 blockbuster The Devil Wears Prada are in New York City, filming scenes for a sequel slated for release around May next year. But whereas the first film was a sleeper hit, produced on a relatively small budget to surprisingly enormous acclaim, the second arrives with a pre-ordained fan base, dedicated followers of fashion who are all grown up and ready to reminisce about the old and obsess over the new. Social media is awash with videos filmed by fans. There is Hathaway, who leads as the wannabe writer Andy Sachs, strutting across Midtown; there is Streep, who plays the editor of Runway, Miranda Priestly, Anna Wintour-like in her ice-queen demeanour and enormous sunglasses; and there is Tucci as Nigel Kipling, the ever-loyal art director in perfectly clipped suits and jaunty glasses. Emily Blunt will rejoin the cast as Emily, the ambitious Runway colleague with a face like thunder, while Sir Kenneth Branagh makes a first appearance, as Priestly's probably-second husband. Other new names include Lucy Liu (Kill Bill, Charlie's Angels), Simone Ashley (Bridgerton), Justin Theroux (American Psycho, Mulholland Drive) and Pauline Chalamet (sister of Timothée and star of The Sex Lives of College Girls). The first movie was about Andy, a smug graduate desperate to write cerebral long-reads for a magazine that put only words on a page, but who was instead hired at one that was obsessed with pretty pictures. Instead of cracking her knuckles to write, Andy had to fetch the editor of Runway and her new boss, Miranda, coffees (Starbucks, tall, non-fat vanilla latte with two shots of espresso) and lunch (rare ribeye steak, two baked potatoes, a side of smashed potatoes and eight asparagus stalks, picked up from Smith & Wollensky, transferred on to a new plate then placed on her desk). 'That's all,' said Miranda famously, often after dumping her enormous fur coat on Andy's computer. The movie was based on the best-selling novel of the same name, written by the one-time Wintour assistant Lauren Weisberger. According to the news site Puck, the storyline for the second movie will follow Miranda as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing, going head-to-head with Blunt's character Emily, now a high-powered executive at Dior. With other details still redacted, fans are poring over the looks on the streets of the city to try to fill in the blanks: Andy standing next to a suitcase and a garment bag reading 'Runway', hinting at her return to the magazine; Miranda with the same haircut, same style, same sunglasses, as consistent as a Wintour; and Tucci's character, Nigel, sitting in a Midtown meeting room with Andy, hinting at their union as colleagues, but next to a sign for a new potential publication that reads: Adore. Instead of the high-glamour fashion transformation Andy had in the first movie, all thigh-high boots and bouncy blow-outs, the character seems to be looking much more rich-hipster Brooklynite this time around. She has been seen wearing the Chanel 'dad sandals' ($1,000+), almost orthopedic in their chunk and stamped with the two-Cs; a plain white tank top (Toteme, $110); and a denim jumpsuit from Re/Done in collaboration with Ford, whose previous collections have mostly consisted of cars. There has also been some of the brilliantly funny takes on workwear that the first movie did so well: this is high-camp fashion trying to disguise itself in pin stripes; this is corporate drag. Think a white T-shirt with a narrow panel that hits the floor like a train or the Margiela Tabi boots, which look normal until you notice that the big toe is separated from the rest. The genius of the first movie can be credited to Patricia Field, the now 83-year-old, Emmy-award winning costume designer also known as the brains behind Sex and the City, Ugly Betty and Emily in Paris. It is unclear whether she has been brought on for the sequel. A consummate New Yorker, Field was the owner of the legendary Manhattan boutique Pants Pub, later renamed eponymously. Field was famous then, as she is now, for her bright red hair and enormous winged glasses, leopard print on leopard print, punk on punk, cigarette in hand, a hard-rocking downtown rebel. 'My style is personal, happy, colourful,' she said. 'Everything in my closet goes together like a bowl of fruit.' Before the first Devil Wears Prada movie, Field took its director, David Frankel, to fashion week, 'to loosen him up a little and inspire him for the world he was about to shoot', Field later wrote in the Washington Post. For Miranda's style, she wanted something far away from trends, seeking special permission to rifle through Donna Karan's archive in a warehouse in New Jersey. The designer's representatives, she wrote, 'were astonished that I was the one climbing ladders and unzipping garment bags, and not some minion'. She continued: 'I pored [over] her designs from the Eighties and Nineties, which was when Donna introduced the world to what was known as her Seven Easy Pieces: bodysuit, skirt, tailored jacket, dress, leather element, white shirt and cashmere sweater.' She also fought for Miranda's famously white shock of hair, perfectly coiffed the same way every day, a mirror to Wintour's bob. Her white hair had been dreamt up by Streep's longtime hair and makeup stylist, J Roy Helland, who was inspired by then-septuagenarian model Carmen Dell'Orefice and Christine Lagarde, the French trade minister who went on to become managing director of the International Monetary Fund and president of the European Central Bank. When producers disagreed with the white hair, saying she should have a more stylish haircut, Field launched a campaign to persuade them otherwise. In the end, it was white. 'When Prada wrapped, everyone knew the picture was good,' she wrote. 'But just how well it would be received, we had no clue.' The film, which cost $41 million to make, grossed $326 million worldwide. Streep was nominated for an Oscar for best actress and Field for best costume design. And so back to New York, a city so tightly stacked on top of itself that it is impossible to keep any filming quiet, everyone watching and waiting to see if the devil will wear Prada, again.
