So, Bonnie Blue plans to appeal her visa cancellation? Good luck with that — no one wants you here.

After igniting outrage across Australia with plans to film adult content with “barely legal” school leavers at Schoolies on the Gold Coast next week, the British sex worker’s visa was cancelled by the Department of Home Affairs after fierce public outcry.

Her brazen invitation for teenagers to join her on the Gold Coast was met with disgust from parents, communities, and everyone who believes young men deserve more than to be exploited for fame and profit.

This isn’t about prudishness or “Karen” behaviour, as Blue dismissively calls it. This is about basic respect for young people stepping into adulthood — and an understanding that their initial steps shouldn’t be turned into content for someone else’s personal gain.

But sadly, this isn’t the end of the saga. Blue said she would not only appeal the decision but also do the same thing in another location, like Fiji, where hundreds of Australian school leavers are also planning to celebrate Schoolies.

Ironically, it wasn’t her disgusting plan that led to her visa cancellation but rather the fact that she intended to work here in violation of her 12-month visa conditions.

“All these middle-aged Karens are saying these people are not consenting. They are. It’s rubbish. They’ve got passports, and they’ve got consent forms,” she ranted to news.com.au

Talk about an ignorant toolie.

Anyone with a teenager knows how easy it is to fake an electronic ID. And we all know how teenage hormones, peer pressure and a few drinks can lead to impulsive decisions.

The problem here isn’t a supposed generational divide or some outdated notion of decency — it’s about the blatant exploitation of young men.

Blue knew exactly what she was doing — she’d staged this spectacle before, seeking shock value and attention with her so-called “educational” encounters.

It’s all about building her brand on the naivety of young adults, encouraging them to view intimacy as a quick path to fame or validation.

“Those middle-aged women who are giving me the hate should be thanking me. I’m educating the younger generation on safe sex, consent and allowing them to understand their bodies and those they’re sleeping with,” she told the Courier Mail.

Oh, please. Claiming to “educate” while knowingly exploiting young men for profit? This is nothing but a publicity stunt you’ve pulled before in Britain, Cancun, and beyond, knowing exactly how much attention and money it would bring.

Blue continued: “The hate is coming from a generation who believe sex is taboo and shouldn’t be spoken about proudly; however, just like women don’t have to stay in the kitchen, women can also be proud and bold about sex.”

Blue, I am a middle-aged woman, and my friends and I do not think sex is taboo and shouldn’t be spoken about. And to be clear, this column isn’t an attack on sex work or the people who engage in it.

There are many honest, compelling, and likeable voices in the industry — take BlueEyedJade on TikTok, for instance.

So, no, I am not a Karen, and I respect anyone’s right to work as a sex worker if that’s their choice and passion.

This is about you prioritising fame over responsibility and the risks you take with young men’s privacy and well-being.

You are teaching boys that intimacy is a transaction and privacy is optional as long as it serves your fame.

Will you also tell these young men that once online, these videos are out of their control forever? Fellow OnlyFans creator Annie Knight claims they’d “take it down if asked”, but that ignores the reality of downloads and sharing. Once it’s online, it’s permanent.

The real protection comes from parents having open, honest conversations with their sons, explaining the long-term consequences of choices that may seem harmless now.

In a world so focused on wokeness, and at a time when we are constantly talking about youth protection on social media platforms, it’s astonishing that this kind of exploitation is even on the table.

Perhaps the biggest hypocrisy is that this woman hides behind a false name, unwilling to reveal her own identity — even as she plans to exploit the privacy of young men.

In the classic novel Gone with the Wind, Bonnie Blue is the cherished, innocent daughter of Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler.

The fact that this woman chose that name for an adult-only account says it all.

Bonnie Blue, act like the adult you are and stop preying on teenagers. It’s disgusting. You’re disgusting. Stay in Britain; we don’t want you here.
