Controversial British OnlyFans personality Bonnie Blue has announced her impending return to Australia, specifically targeting the popular Schoolies festival that attracts thousands of recent high school graduates. The 26-year-old content creator, whose real name is Tia Billinger, took to social media on Friday to declare she has been cleared to enter the country after her visa was rejected last year.
Visa Battle and Schoolies Plans
Billinger revealed she has spent the past six months working with lawyers and Australian immigration officials to overturn last year's visa denial. The creator, known for explicit sexual stunts involving hundreds of men and "barely legal" teenagers, expressed excitement about attending Schoolies events running from November 22 through December 15.
"I have spent the last six months going backwards and forwards with lawyers and the Australian Government to get back in," Billinger stated on social media. "I didn't break any rules so I have been let back in."
In a video that has since circulated online, Billinger appeared holding two traditional Australian cork hats while wearing a Schoolies lanyard, promising "to do nothing wrong apart from go down under."
Previous Controversy and Public Backlash
Last year's planned Australian visit was thwarted when tens of thousands of Australians signed a Change.org petition demanding her visa be denied. The petition argued that Schoolies provided "the perfect opportunity to find young boys to prey on and record sexual content to sell" and questioned how her activities would contribute to Australian society.
The Department of Home Affairs subsequently denied her entry, which typically triggers an automatic three-year ban from re-entering Australia. To circumvent this restriction, Billinger would need to apply for a waiver that the Department's website states is only granted in "very limited situations."
Billinger had previously made multiple TikTok videos detailing her intentions to create content with "barely legal" school-leavers during last year's festival period. She had planned to collaborate with fellow OnlyFans creator Annie Knight to film pornographic videos with 18-year-old male participants.
Current Claims and Parental Warnings
In a recent interview with 60 Minutes, Billinger boasted about having "good lawyers" who helped navigate the immigration process. "A good lawyer gets you a very long way, maybe even Down Under," she remarked during the interview.
The content creator also hinted at shipping her famous "Bang Bus" - a Volkswagen van used to promote her adult content - to Australia for the upcoming visit. Her social media posts have included direct messages to parents, stating: "parents, yes, you should be concerned" about her Schoolies attendance.
7NEWS.com.au has approached the Department of Home Affairs for comment regarding Billinger's claims of having her visa approved. The Department typically does not comment on individual cases, leaving questions about the validity of her statements unanswered.
Participants in Billinger's content creation activities reportedly don't pay to be involved but also don't receive payment for their participation, operating under a different model than traditional adult entertainment.
