#FreeBonnieBlue: Was OnlyFans star Bonnie Blue arrested? What to know [Watch]
The circumstances around the apparent arrest of controversial OnlyFans star Bonnie Blue have not been disclosed. OnlyFans influencer Bonnie Blue has made millions from her wild content creation career. Pictures: Instagram and tiktok/bonniebluclips OnlyFans star Bonnie Blue — who made headlines with her controversial claim that she broke the world record for having sex with the most men in a 12-hour time period — was reportedly arrested on Wednesday, 21 May. A video showing Bonnie, real name Tia Emma Billinger, apparently being taken into custody has gone viral after her sister broke the news on the influencer's Instagram handle. Many followers of the British OnlyFans model used the comment section to write: '#FreeBonnieBlue', with hundreds of avid fans voicing their concern. Some, however, questioned the video's validity, with one fan writing: 'Omg. Too many staged vids for clout'. Flashing blue lights for OnlyFans star Bonnie Blue? 'We still don't have clarity on the situation, but will keep you all in the loop as soon as we know,' her sister wrote on Wednesday in a post featuring the clip. In the video, the OnlyFans model is frisked by a female 'police officer'. The clip also shows Bonnie answering questions while she and filmmaker Josh Lee Spooner are leaning against what appears to be a police vehicle. Towards the end of the video, one of the officers declares: 'She's going [to] be coming in'. Bonnie's sister wrote that the incident 'isn't something we wanted to get out', but that 'it seems there is no privacy for her anymore'. 'As you may have seen, Tia has been arrested,' the message continued. 'We still don't have clarity on the situation, but we'll keep you all in the loop as soon as we know. Thanks for all of the support in the last 24 hours. Yours sincerely, Tia's Sister.' WATCH: Bonnie Blue up against cop car Fake news police: Were OnlyFans stars really arrested? Despite the video's viral spread, its authenticity has been questioned. Here's why… The video was posted just hours after Bonnie's OnlyFans 'arch-rival', Lily Phillips, uploaded a similar video featuring her alleged arrest. Both clips appear to have been filmed in the UK. The 'police officers' are not wearing any visible badges or unit identification, and the vehicle in Bonnie and Lily's videos has the same licence plate. According to Hindustan Times, the licence plate is that of one previously linked to a known 'prop car'. A fact-check on X (formerly Twitter) labelled the footage: 'Satire that might be misinterpreted as fact', claiming that 'this is an OnlyFans content creator skit. These are not real police officers.'

In January this year, Bonnie stepped into the limelight with her claim that she topped American adult film star Lisa Sparxxx's record, who, back in 2004, slept with 919 men in a single day. According to the 25-year-old, she slept with a staggering 1,057 men in the space of 12 hours. The OnlyFans star labelled her sex marathon a 'heavy day in the bedroom', assuring her fans on Instagram that she was 'fine'. 'I don't need a wheelchair. I'm fine. Just feels like I've had a heavy day in the bedroom. Which is exactly what I've had.' Recently, Bonnie claimed she makes 'two million a month' from her adult content platform and told the Daily Star she hoped to earn £10 million in 2025.

Kim Kardashian graduates from law school after six years
Kim enrolled in the Law Office Study Programme in 2018 and dedicated 18 hours weekly to her legal studies for over six years. Reality TV personality Kim Kardashian has graduated from law school after six years, dedicating her academic achievement to her late father, Robert Kardashian Sr, who was a lawyer. Kim enrolled in the Law Office Study Programme in 2018 and dedicated 18 hours weekly to her legal studies for over six years. 'I finally graduated law school after six years,' wrote Kim on her Instagram. ALSO READ: O.J. Simpson estate rejects Kim Kardashian's R200k+ offer to buy her late father's bible Kardashian Sr. Kardashian Sr. died in 2003. He was part of O.J. Simpson's legal team in 1994 during O.J.'s publicised murder trial. For their mother's graduation ceremony, Kim's kids wore suits and looked like lawyers to pay homage to their grandfather. Earlier this year, Simpson's estate denied Kim the opportunity to buy a bible that her father had gifted to Simpson. The bible is made special by a message Kim's father wrote for the former National Football League star. 'O.J., this book will help,' the note reads. 'God loves, and he will speak to you with his words. Read this book every day. God has a definite plan for your life. You are his child, and he will use you again. I love you and God loves you.' Kim's offer was reportedly rejected because, according to OJ's estate executor Malcolm LaVergne, obtaining the proper paperwork to sell the item outside the auction would cost around the same amount in legal fees. 'The amount is why I had no choice, because why would I spend $15 000 (about R270 000) of estate money – why would I spend $15 000 in attorney's fees – to sell it to Kim for $15 000,' LaVergne is quoted as saying in The Mirror.

(Photo by Thomas SAMSON / AFP) American celebrity Kim Kardashian told a Paris court on Tuesday she feared she was going to be killed by masked men who robbed her at gunpoint of millions of dollars of jewellery during the French capital's fashion week. Ten suspects have been on trial since late April over the armed robbery in 2016, which saw jewellery worth some $10 million stolen from the reality TV star and influencer. 'Hi! I'm Kim Kardashian and I just want to thank everyone, especially the French authorities, for allowing me to testify today and tell my truth,' she told the packed court as she began giving evidence, wearing a black suit. The trial has attracted huge media attention, with close to 500 reporters accredited, and crowds flocking around the courthouse on Paris's historic Ile de la Cite early Tuesday with fans hoping for a glimpse of the celebrity. 'I came to Paris for Fashion Week and Paris is always a place I love so much,' Kardashian said as she gave the court her account of the night of October 2-3, 2016, when she was robbed while staying at an exclusive, discreet hotel in central Paris. She was in her hotel room — 'with my best friend downstairs, my sister and my friend and my mom, they were all out for the night' — when she heard 'stomping' up the stairs and people 'who I assumed were police officers because they were in uniform' entered her room.

'I said a prayer for my family' The man then found what he was looking for, a diamond ring given to Kardashian by her then-husband, rapper Kanye West, and valued at 3.5 million euros ($3.9 million). The attackers then began to look for more valuables, threatened Kardashian with a gun and tied her up with a zip tie, she said, visibly emotional. 'I was certain that he was going to shoot me so I said a prayer for my family,' she said, adding she prayed 'that they will have an OK life after seeing what they saw'. She added: 'I thought I was going to die.' She also feared that she would be raped but the man with the gun 'closed my legs and put a tape on my leg'. ALSO READ: Kanye West drops track featuring daughter and Diddy, sparks legal feud with Kim Kardashian In the robbery, dubbed by the French press as the 'heist of the century', the masked men walked away with millions of dollars' worth of jewels. Those on trial are mainly men in their 60s and 70s with previous criminal records. They have underworld nicknames like 'Old Omar' and 'Blue Eyes' that resemble those of old-school French bandits of 1960s and 1970s films noirs. Bodyguard found Kardashian 'crying hysterically' Sixty-eight-year-old Aomar Ait Khedache, known as 'Old Omar', has admitted to tying up Kardashian but denies being the mastermind behind the robbery. Another suspect in the dock, 71-year-old Yunice Abbas, later wrote a book about the heist. In it he describes how his bag became caught in the wheel of his escape vehicle, a bicycle, causing him to fall off and have to scramble to shove the loot back in the bag. ALSO READ: 'I had to give him the ring': Kim Kardashian opens up about her short-lived marriage to Kris Humphries Investigators said a man called Gary Madar, the brother of Kardashian's driver in Paris, tipped the suspects off that Kardashian was 'in French territory'. This allegation has been ridiculed by Madar's lawyer, who remarked that 350 million online followers were already aware of the star's whereabouts. The night of the robbery could have gone very differently had Kardashian joined her sister Kourtney and gone clubbing, an idea she entertained before deciding to stay in the hotel, the court heard last week. Her designated driver, Michael Madar — whose company was billing the Kardashian/West couple up to 400,000 euros per year to provide security — had been working non-stop for 21 hours and asked a colleague to replace him for the trip to the night club. The replacement, Mohammed Q., and a Kardashian bodyguard, Pascal D., rushed back to the hotel after Kardashian tried to call them and then failed to pick up her phone when they called back. When Pascal D. found her, Kardashian 'was in a terrible state. She was crying hysterically', he told the court.
