People say I'm setting women back, but they're mums relying on boyfriends or benefits says Bonnie Blue in shocking chat

'DON'T stand too close to me, you might catch something,' quips Bonnie Blue as we pose for pics.
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.'
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 Blue
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?

Family of Southport attack victim Bebe King say her ‘light and spark' live on a year after her death
The family of Southport attack victim Bebe King has said her "light, care and spark" live on as it approaches a year since her death. The six-year-old was killed along with Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, when Axel Rudakubana launched his knife attack on the Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the town on 29 July last year. On Monday 28 July, a post on the Instagram account of Bebe's Hive referenced the youngster's 'favourite musical' Wicked with the quote: 'Because I knew you, I have been changed for good.' Bebe's Hive was set up by her family to provide support for grieving children through creativity and connection. The post, which appeared to have been written by Bebe's mother Lauren, referred to her as 'my mini me' and 'her dad's soulmate'. It said: 'It's time for us to take the space we need. To feel, to breathe, to hold each other close. To just be. 'To be able to create something so purposeful, so needed, has given us a strength we didn't know we had. A reason. A focus. 'We love and thank every single person who has helped us carry this. 'I feel her with me every day and that feeling is what keeps us going. 'Her light, her care, her spark – it lives on, and we'll continue it for as long as we can. 'To our incredible family and friends – thank you for keeping us afloat, while trying to keep yourselves above water. Thank you for loving Bebe so deeply and for riding this forever journey with us. 'To our amazing community – I don't think you realise what you've done. To everyone further, we also thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 'Your kindness has saved us. 'To Elsie and Alice, we never had the chance to meet you, but we feel like we know you. Your light shines so brightly through your parents, and we're proud to walk alongside them.' In a reference to the Taylor Swift song Bejeweled, the post went on to say: 'Our girls' energy will continue to shimmer. 'And to every brave child, every adult, every family whose lives were changed forever that day – we see you and we're sending you so much love.' A video of Bebe dancing and playing with a bubble machine accompanied the caption, along with photos of her. Sefton Council has asked people not to lay flowers to mark the anniversary of the attack but instead to consider donating to causes including Bebe's Hive, as well as Elsie's Story and Alice's Wonderdance, which were set up in the victim's memories. A three-minute silence will be held in the town at 3pm on Tuesday 29 July.
