"Bali Is Not Thailand”: Snitch Speaks Out After Reporting Bonnie Blue As She Faces 15 Years In Jail

After nearly a week since British adult content creator Bonnie Blue’s headline-making arrest in Bali, an alleged informant who reported her has finally broken their silence.

Bonnie, whose real name is Tia Billinger, was taken into police custody on December 5 following a raid at a private villa in Mengwi District, after multiple local complaints.

The 26-year-old controversial figure was allegedly producing adult material with 17 male tourists, violating Indonesia’s strict morality laws, and now faces up to 15 years in prison.

One individual who claims to have reported Blue has detailed how they tracked her down and why they chose to alert authorities.

During the raid last week, officials seized several explicit items, including professional video cameras, contraceptives, erectile medication, and Bonnie’s allegedly untaxed “BangBus” truck.

The 26-year-old had planned to promote her “BangBus” tour during her first visit to the island, targeting Schoolies, fresh high school graduates, and “barely legal” adults for her content.

She had widely promoted the trip on social media, writing, “Hey boys, those that’re going to Schoolies and to those who are barely legal, cannot wait to meet you – and I’m in Bali, so you know exactly what that means.”

Following the operation, Blue and 17 male tourists, aged 19 to 40, were detained and had their passports confiscated.

However, she was reportedly “allowed to leave” the next day and is currently “co-operating with authorities” as the investigation continues.

Multiple experts say that under Indonesia’s strict anti-po**ography laws, she could face fines of up to 6 billion rupiah (around $360,000 USD) in addition to 15 years in prison.

Amid the international attention surrounding the case, an anonymous individual who claims to have reported Bonnie to authorities told News.com.au that tracking her on the island “was not particularly complicated” at all.

The individual told the outlet, “We just followed her through her g*ng bang bus. But the cops, at first, they couldn’t even understand what [was happening]. We had to explain it to them that there are about 20 guys [and Blue]. They just couldn’t comprehend it.”

Explaining how they convinced police to take action and raid the private residence where the alleged “illegal activity” was taking place, the source added, “We explained to them that she’s driving around in the ‘g*ng bang bus’ and that she was bragging about sleeping with Schoolies, some of who were barely legal…”

“And that footage was going to go worldwide afterwards. They confirmed that the activity was illegal [and took action]. Then they sent in undercover agents and booked them.”

They continued, “But prosecuting them is really difficult here, because what the police had to do is catch her in the act… with the cameras rolling, and they got there just before.”

When asked why they decided to report the incident, the individual cited national values and the need to uphold the country’s “reputation.”

They explained, “I am not a prude and I am not judging her. But ‘Bonnie Blue’s Bali G*ng Bang’ is not where we want to be reputation-wise. Bali is not Thailand. Bali is not the Philippines.”

“The business community doesn’t want it, the expat community doesn’t want it, and the local community can’t even comprehend it. Po**ography is illegal here, producing po**ography is illegal here, working without a proper permit is illegal here, and we don’t want Bonnie Blue’s G*ng Bang from Bali being posted and shared around the world. Bali doesn’t need that kind of publicity.”

“I am not a prude and I am not judging her,” the source who allegedly blew the whistle on the notorious content creator said in a recent interview

Despite insisting they only wanted to prevent negative “publicity,” the source acknowledged that their well-intentioned actions ultimately backfired as the case exploded internationally, putting an even bigger spotlight on Bali.

“We got the publicity anyway, but through the community’s actions and the actions of police, we showed that it was illegal, and out she went. Australians felt the same; the government wouldn’t let her into the country.”

The last remark referenced the nationality of the male tourists who were allegedly involved in the controversial activities.

According to reports, 15 of the 17 detained tourists were Australian citizens.

After being questioned as “witnesses,” local authorities allowed them to leave without pressing any charges.

Meanwhile, the remaining two tourists were British nationals, including Bonnie herself.

This is not the first time the content creator has faced legal trouble.

Last year, she was barred from entering Australia after authorities determined she had violated the conditions of her tourist visa by planning to produce adult material in the country. Her visa was immediately cancelled.

Comment from Robert Skujnieks about Bonnie Blue possibly going to jail, referencing Bali Jail bus and a dry spell.

Aside from Australia and her recent detention in Indonesia, Bonnie also ran into legal challenges in Fiji last November, when Fijian authorities declared her a “prohibited immigrant” for breaching visa conditions, resulting in her deportation.

The individual concluded the interview by saying, “What people do behind closed doors is one thing, watching po*n, whatever you like, but doing it publicly and then promoting it around the world… is too much.”

“The Balinese are spiritual people; there is a certain rhythm on the island, and that kind of thing is not for us. We have enough issues with tourists here as it is.”

Just hours before the whistleblower’s remarks surfaced, Bonnie was seen on video walking into the Ngurah Rai Immigration Office in Jimbaran, south of Kuta.

When onlookers asked whether she planned to continue making explicit content in Bali, she replied, “Subscribe and you’ll find out.”

However, when someone asked if she would be “going back home soon,” she remained silent.

Ngurah Rai Immigration Office Head, Winarko, later confirmed that Bonnie is still under investigation, saying officials intend to “follow up on several things that were found by police.”

“Today is the first examination at [the] Immigration office. Earlier, she was examined in [the] police station,” he added.

For now, the investigation into Bonnie’s case remains ongoing.
