Bonnie Blue, an OnlyFans creator, is inviting “barely legal” young men attending Gold Coast schoolies to film explicit content with her.
The incident has sparked debate over consent and exploitation, with the 25-year-old claiming she follows strict guidelines, requiring participants to present ID, sign two consent forms, and pass a breathalyser test.
On today’s episode of The Briefing, Blue joins us to share her justifications for her schoolies plan.
We also sit down with Harrison James, one of many who believe Bonnie’s actions are exploitative.
He’s a survivor of sexual violence and now works as an activist advocating for consent, sexual violence prevention, and the safety of children and young people.
“I’m not a predator. That’s something that’s not legal. Everything I’m doing is legal. So spend five minutes educating yourself,” Blue said.
She explains that she conducts breathalyser tests and uses consent forms, all of which meet the same standards as those used by law enforcement.
“As long as I’m abiding by the law, I don’t know what anyone else wants me to do.”
However, James argues that OnlyFans creators like Blue and Annie Knight specifically target “barely legal” young men in environments like Schoolies, which he believes exacerbates a pre-existing issue surrounding consent and exploitation.
“Five minutes of naivety for these boys is going to be a lifetime of profit for someone like Bonnie Blue. That is blatantly, that’s literally the definition of exploitation,” James said.
Blue maintains her actions are not exploitative.
