Rumors that banned OnlyFans creator Bonnie Blue has returned to Australian soil ahead of this year’s Schoolies celebrations have sparked a fresh wave of backlash—this time led by activist groups demanding government transparency.
Viral TikTok clips showing a van decorated with Blue’s branding cruising through the Gold Coast sparked public speculation, questions about her visa status, and growing pressure on officials to clarify whether the banned adult film star has entered the country.
Advocacy group Collective Shout issued a public call for Immigration Minister Tony Burke to confirm whether Blue—or another UK creator, Lily Phillips—has been allowed into Australia.
“Rumours are circulating that Blue is in Australia… given the controversy and that this is a matter of public interest, we believe Australians have a right to know whether she has been permitted entry,” the group stated.
Collective Shout director Melinda Tankard Reist contacted the minister directly after being told the Department of Home Affairs could not comment on individual cases. The group noted that Blue’s original 2024 visa cancellation stemmed from her failure to disclose intentions to film explicit content with male school leavers—an act that triggered a three-year ban.
Citing Blue’s own explicit public claims about pursuing “barely legal” teens, the organization warned that her actions risk exploiting adolescents who “may not fully grasp the long-term consequences of participating in filmed sex acts.”
Survivor advocate Harrison James, who helped lead last year’s push to block Blue’s entry, raised concerns that such content reinforces harmful ideas about masculinity and peer pressure among teen boys during an already emotionally heightened week of celebrations.
While activist groups continued pressing for answers, the online sightings only fueled the confusion. TikTok videos posted in recent days show a blue “Bang Bus” driving near Queensland high schools, prompting comments like, “Why is this at a school?” and “Can’t believe Bonnie Blue is actually in Australia.”
Others insisted the footage was misleading, replying, “You’re all getting fooled.”
Blue later told news.com.au that she is not in Australia and is currently in Bali. Despite that, she claims she is “still participating” in Schoolies festivities by sending vials of her saliva and her branded bus to the Gold Coast.
She alleged she filled “hundreds and hundreds of vials” so fans could “interact” with her remotely—though human bodily fluids are listed as prohibited imports by the Australian Border Force, requiring special authorization from the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
The alleged saliva handouts are slated to appear not only at Schoolies-adjacent events but also at Brisbane’s upcoming SXhibition festival, where organizers acknowledged they expect the stunt to provoke strong reactions.
Event manager Belinda Gavin called Blue “brazen and calculated” in her marketing, stating that while she doesn’t personally agree with all the tactics, the creator “knows what people react to.”
Blue’s history with Schoolies remains central to this year’s uproar. After her visa was canceled in 2024, she attempted to attend Schoolies in Fiji with fellow creator Annie Knight—only to be declared a prohibited immigrant there as well.
