While the name Tia Billinger might not mean much to many of you, we're sure plenty more will have heard of Bonnie Blue. After having worked in financial recruitment and then for the National Health Service, Billinger said she became a webcam model when she was "bored of living in the 9 to 5."
Turning her hand to OnlyFans, the popularity of Bonnie Blue grew, and she gained notoriety with her videos involving 'schoolies' (Australian men who'd typically just left high school).
With LADbible's 'For F**k's Sake' campaign confirming that 77% of Gen Z internet users have admitted to watching pornography, and 1 in 2 claiming pornography was their first introduction to sex, it's no wonder Billinger has made the news.
Unfortunately, her career hasn't come without its controversies, as Billinger made headlines for trying to break the world record for the most sexual partners in one day. A later 'petting zoo' event, when she was due to be tied naked in a box and sleep with up to 2,000 men, was cancelled, and she was eventually banned from OnlyFans.

This hasn't stopped the Bonnie Blue name from gaining popularity, but even after her 'Bang Bus' tour was banned from Australia, she took it on the road in Bali. Badung Police Chief Arif Batubara confirmed Billinger was arrested alongside 17 men, with her now facing a 6 billion rupiah ($360,500) fine and up to 15 years in jail.
Going against Indonesia's strict morality laws, Billinger's arrest comes amid allegations that she was making pornographic content. After 14 men were released, the latest update confirmed that three other men and Billinger herself had been released from custody and handed over to the immigration team, although the latter had her passport confiscated.
The adult film star has broken her silence, with the Daily Mail reporting she gave a defiant five-word response when asked if she was going to keep making adult content.
Billinger apparently replied with a simple: "Subscribe and you'll find out."
The outlet says that the two-minute video featured Billinger walking into the Ngurah Rai Immigration Office, wearing a matching green singlet and shorts, while smiling and waving at reporters.
Confirming that the "Bang Bus is over," it might be because the physical vehicle Bonnie Blue was known for driving around in to advertise was apparently seized during her arrest.
Even though it's said she looked to be in high spirits, Billinger supposedly stayed silent when asked if she would be 'going back home soon'.
She was joined by another man who sat with her as she waited to be called into a restricted room by immigration staff.
A separate video is said to have included the pair leaving the immigration office as the man compared them to the viral 1991 arrest of Jack Karlson and joked to reporters: "What's the crime? Eating a succulent Chinese meal?"
Ngurah Rai Immigration Office Head, Winarko, confirmed to the outlet that Tia Billinger was still being investigated so that officers could "follow up on several things that were found by police.
"Today is the first examination at [the] Immigration office. Earlier, she was examined in [the] police station."
He also couldn't rule out Billinger being deported once the investigation has concluded.
Acting Head of the Public Relations Sub-Division of the Badung Police, Aiptu Ni Nyoman Ayu Inastuti, said that Billinger and others were in the middle of making a game where the winner would sleep with her when they were raided, concluding: "'No pornographic activities or acts have been found in the collaborative content."
