Indonesia Deports UK Adult Film Star Bonnie Blue from Bali
Jakarta. Indonesian immigration authorities have deported British adult film actress and OnlyFans personality Tia Emma Billinger, widely known as Bonnie Blue, for violating immigration rules and traffic laws during her stay in Bali.
Bonnie Blue, 26, was flown back to the United Kingdom via I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport in Badung early Saturday at 12:30 a.m. local time, according to state news agency Antara. She was deported alongside three male associates -- two British nationals identified by the initials LAJ and INL, and one Australian national, JJT.
“We have taken firm action,” Ngurah Rai Immigration Office head Winarko said in Jimbaran, Badung, on Saturday.
The deportations followed a summary trial at the Denpasar District Court on Friday, where the group was found guilty of minor offenses. Immigration officials said JJT and INL were deported solely for immigration violations, while Bonnie Blue and LAJ faced layered charges, including immigration breaches and traffic offenses.
Authorities said the group violated the terms of their stay permits by producing commercial content while entering Indonesia on visa-on-arrival status, which only allows tourism-related activities. The four arrived in Bali on Nov. 6.
Bonnie Blue and LAJ were also found guilty of violating Indonesia’s Traffic and Road Transportation Law after using a blue open-bed pickup truck marked “Gangbus” to transport passengers on public roads. Judges ruled that the vehicle was not предназначен for carrying people. The court fined Bonnie Blue Rp 200,000 (about $12) for the traffic violation.
Police in Badung had earlier detained Bonnie Blue on suspicion of producing pornographic content in Bali. However, Badung Police Chief Arif Batubara said a digital forensic examination found only private, sensual videos on her mobile phone that were not distributed publicly.
“As the content was for personal use and not disseminated, it does not meet the criminal elements under Indonesia’s Pornography Law or the Electronic Information and Transactions Law,” Arif said.
During a police raid on Thursday, Dec. 4, officers seized several items, including a bottle of lubricant, multiple condoms, and two Viagra pills. Police said the items alone did not constitute sufficient evidence of a criminal offense.
In addition to deportation, Indonesian authorities have blacklisted all four foreign nationals from re-entering the country.
Meanwhile, 16 other foreign nationals -- 14 Australians, one Iranian, and one Ukrainian -- were released after being treated as witnesses. They were present during a social media content-related gathering at a studio in Pererenan, Badung, when police carried out the raid.
Indonesia enforces strict laws on immigration and public morality, particularly in Bali, a top tourist destination that has faced growing scrutiny over the behavior of foreign visitors.
