Cornwall-based football club retracts kit sponsored by controversial adult star Bonnie Blue - and insist they did not agree to partnership fans labelled as 'embarrassing' to 'offend'
The small Cornwall-based football club that announced a surprising collaboration with Bonnie Blue has confirmed it will no longer be sponsored by the controversial adult star. In a statement on Friday, Calstock FC said the Football Association's 'interpretation of the regulations' prohibited them from wearing a kit funded by the 25-year-old that bore a 'BB' logo. The club, which describes itself as 'a drinking team with a football problem', had agreed for the social media influencer to become their main kit sponsor and unveiled a changed blue away strip. There was widespread criticism on social media to the announcement but Calstock, who, in their statement stressed 'we did not do this to offend', has not indicated that this played a part in their decision to end the agreement. Furthermore, they have now launched a Go Fund Me page to replace the strip. 'So as I am sure you are aware Calstock FC secured a generous sponsorship deal with social media influencer Bonnie Blue with which we acquired a new away kit (just to be clear this was not to replace our home kit of yellow/black & it is an adult team/club),' the club wrote in a Facebook post on Friday. Calstock announced that Bonnie Blue will no longer sponsor their kit due to the 'FA's interpretation of the regulations' 'Due to the FA's interpretation of the regulations we are retracting the kit bearing the BB logo. 'We did not do this to offend. We, as an adult club & collective, categorically do not advocate or support oppression of women. 'It was great to see that so many people took an interest in our adult club & offered support so to this end we have set up a Go Fund Me page on which we would be delighted to receive your donations as we now need to replace this kit & need to secure the future financial viability of the club.' In addition to the 'BB' logo on the front of the kit, the phrase 'Up The Bonnie Blue Bees' is also printed along the hem on the back of the sapphire-blue tops. Bonnie, from Nottinghamshire, rose to fame after sleeping with 'barely-legal' boys at Freshers' Weeks for content on her OnlyFans and recently travelled to the US to have sex with teenage college students for Spring Break. The adult star also ruffled many feathers after claiming to have slept with 1,057 men in 12 hours. Bonnie - whose real name is Tia Emma Billinger - had published the news on her Instagram story and the St Piran league, Div 2 East team reposted it and replied 'Massive thank you,' along with a blue love heart and a bee emoji. The clip revealing the news racked up a whopping 880,000 views on Instagram with hundreds of people commenting their thoughts on the collaboration. One wrote: 'This isn't a flex, it's actually embarrassing as f*** for you.' Calstock FC then replied: 'Each to their own opinion and you're entitled to that but as a small local club, we are proud to be sponsored by her and we very much appreciate the sponsorships as we do all our sponsors. If you have nothing nice to say, just scroll on by.' Another penned: 'Possibly one of the worst sponsorships ever' A third said: 'If my man was on that soccer team, I'd break up immediately.' It comes as Bonnie was 'permanently banned' by Nottingham Forest and 'escorted off the premises', having turned up at their stadium after offering to pleasure fans.

Bonnie Blue sponsors football club which is 'thrilled' to have her name plastered all over their kit - as people call the partnership 'embarrassing'
Bonnie Blue has announced a surprising new career move - sponsoring one of the smallest football clubs in England. The controversial adult star, 25, became the official kit sponsor of Calstock FC, located near Plymouth. The 17-man squad, which describes itself as a 'a drinking team with a football problem', revealed the new uniform a couple of weeks ago. It changed from being a black and yellow stripy colour theme - which matched its bee logo - to being entirely blue. The name Bonnie Blue and her logo, which are two Bs facing away from each other, are clearly displayed on the front of the shirts. The phrase 'Up The Bonnie Blue Bees' is also printed along the hem on the back of the sapphire-blue tops. Bonnie, from Nottinghamshire, rose to fame after sleeping with 'barely-legal' boys at Freshers' Weeks for content on her OnlyFans and recently travelled to the US to have sex with teenage college students for Spring Break. The porn star also ruffled many feathers after claiming to have slept with 1,057 men in 12 hours. In a bold move, Calstock FC posted an image of the X-rated actress in a white swimsuit and wrote: 'POV. When it leaves the group chat and becomes a reality. 'We're thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership that's set to shake up the football world! 'Our team has officially teamed up with none other than the notorious @bonnie_blue_xox - arguably the most talked-about and controversial figure in world news - to become our new football kit sponsor.' Bonnie - whose real name is Tia Emma Billinger - published the news on her Instagram story and the the St Piran league, Div 2 East team reposted it and replied 'Massive thank you,' along with a blue love heart and a bee emoji. Calstock FC added: 'This collaboration goes beyond mere branding. It symbolises our commitment to embrace boldness, innovation, and a spirit of fearless individuality on and off the pitch.' The clip revealing the news racked up a whopping 880,000 views on Instagram with hundreds of people commenting their thoughts on the collaboration. One wrote: 'This isn't a flex, it's actually embarrassing as f*** for you.' Calstock FC then replied: 'Each to their own opinion and you're entitled to that but as a small local club, we are proud to be sponsored by her and we very much appreciate the sponsorships as we do all our sponsors.

A fourth commented: 'Outstanding move - probably the most wealthy sponsor in pub leagues lol. [It would] be interesting to see the reaction of girlfriends and wives when she turns up to the club awards ceremony.' Calstock responded: 'Thanks for talking some sense. Wives and girlfriends will be there too if that was to happen, supporting the club as they do week in, week out.' This comes as Bonnie was 'permanently banned' by football team Nottingham Forest and 'escorted off the premises', having turned up at their stadium after offering to pleasure fans. She spoke about her plan being foiled by security at the City Ground on the Only Stans podcast. 'I recently went to a Nottingham Forest game. Well, I attempted to,' the infamous internet personality said. 'I put on my socials, "hey boys, I'm going to be at the game, I'd like to film with you afterwards"'. 'I turn up at the football game and the gate security was like, "you are permanently banned from the ground". 'I thought when they asked me to go to the side, "maybe they're upgrading my tickets, maybe they want to escort me to my seat, this is quite nice, it's a good service". 'They asked to see my tickets, I showed them and they took them off me, saying, "we're escorting you off the premises". 'Apparently they don't discriminate against sex workers but I was banned because I was a sex worker. 'I was going to encourage them (the players), give them a good time. I also think if I'm entertaining the supporters it's less people drinking so I'm actually doing something good for their health.'
