‘I interviewed Bonnie Blue – what she was like off camera shocked me’

"They say we'll need STI tests just for being near her."

We live in an attention economy and Bonnie Blue is a master of commanding attention. Anything she does, from her claims to have slept with a father and son to suggesting that women are failing their husbands by not shagging them properly, elicits howling rage from just about everybody. All that does is benefit her. As long as you mention that she has an OnlyFans or a Fansly account, she couldn’t care less about what you say about her. 

With this in mind, we concocted a gameplan before the interview. Don’t rise to her attempts to shock us. Keep the conversation grounded in reality. Give her space and make her feel comfortable. That way, hopefully, we’ll meet the real Bonnie. 

She arrived at the studio with her manager, a man called Mike. It turns out that Mike claims to be the person to have launched the viral phenomenon of nonce hunting in the UK.  “Now I work with one,” he laughs, alluding to Bonnie’s stated preference for “barely legal" men. 

Bonnie coolly scrolls on her phone before we begin. My colleague Ava asks her what hairspray she uses. She says she doesn’t wear any. She’s wearing a matching Miu Miu outfit, complete with Miu Miu trainers. She is smaller than I expected. I had wondered if she would switch “on” to being in character when the cameras start to roll but she and Mike cracked crass jokes at her own expense throughout their conversations.  

The interview ends about ten minutes later. She and Mike say we’ll need STI tests just for being near her then they leave.

There’s a concept in professional wrestling called kayfabe. It’s the concept that the act is never dropped. There is no wink, no acknowledgement that the Undertaker isn’t an undead zombie, that he’s actually a man in his 50s called Mark. And I suspect that’s what Bonnie is engaged in and that’s why I’m not convinced of her claims.
