Bonnie Blue has been slapped with a $13 fine for flouting Bali’s road rules – and will now be deported from Indonesia after being banned from returning for at least a decade.
The British porn star, whose real name is Tia Billinger, faced Denpasar District Court on Friday accused of a string of road violations in relation to her “Bangbus,” a blue pick-up truck she reportedly purchased for about $1200.
The 26-year-old sex worker appeared alongside her crew, two British men and Australian comedian Julian Woods, for the hearing with photos showing them inside the packed courtroom.
In the snaps, Blue could be seen covered up for her appearance, wearing a beige top with black pants.
She also appeared downcast in some of the images, as the judge reportedly ordered her to “not to violate Bali’s traffic laws again.”
In response, The Daily Telegraph reports she replied, “I understand.”
Blue and one of her British crew were each ordered to pay a $13 fine or spend a month in jail. It is understood she will pay the fine before departing Bali Saturday.
In court, a video was shown of Blue in the open-backed vehicle during her Schoolies stunt on the island.
Outside of court, she reportedly made a series of crude remarks to reporters, as well as addressing fans with her signature, “hi boys.”
Ahead of the hearing, she had told local media she was “not afraid of facing trial.”
“There’s nothing I can’t handle,” Blue told reporters while “nibbling on a candy,” according to one report from detikBali.
It also noted that Blue was wearing the “same green clothes as the previous day.”
Badung Police announced Blue would face trial over the Bangbus offences at the same press conference outside the Ngurah Rai Immigration Office on Thursday where immigration officials declared she would be banned from the country for a decade and “blacklisted.”
“While in Bali, BB (Bonnie Blue) should have been travelling, but instead she was creating content,” said Badung Police Chief, Arif Batubara.
Immigration chief Heru Winarko announced at the same press conference that Blue and her team had breached their visa privileges.
“They have misused the visa they have to make content in Bali,” Winarko said.
“They will be black-listed from entering Indonesia for at least 10 years (that) could be extended.”
The sexfluencer – who had her Australian visa cancelled in 2024 – was arrested alongside a group of 17 male tourists last week following a raid of a studio in Badung.
Fourteen of the men, all Australians, were released without charge while an investigation into Blue and the other three tourists was launched.
Woods was later confirmed as one of the three men being interrogated by Indonesian immigration officials alongside the 26-year-old.
After two days of interviews, Badung Police issued a statement Wednesday, declaring they “had not found any pornographic elements” during the dramatic raid, detikBali reported.
Officials said everyone quizzed “admitted to being at the studio to participate in the production of the reality show content.”
Officers had stated that while allegations of pornographic content hadn’t been substantiated, Blue and the three men were “suspected of abusing their residence permits by using their KITAS (an essential document for foreigners staying in Indonesia long-term for work) and tourist visas to work on creating commercial content.”
None of the group, who entered the country on tourist visas, has been charged criminally.
Their passports have been confiscated.
Badung Police told detikBali they had found a “private video containing sexual content on the phone of one of the accused” during its investigations.
However, the content was not shared with other parties, so it was deemed not to constitute a crime.
Footage filmed Wednesday showed Blue walking into Bali’s Immigration office in a green crop top and matching shorts with lawyer Edward Pangkahila.
The controversial sex worker, who became a household name when she claimed to have slept with 1057 men in 12 hours at the start of the year, was snapped smiling and looking fresh despite the circumstances.
It comes after Badung Police claimed the group were playing a sex game where the “winner would sleep with Bonnie Blue” at the time of the raid.
“When they were raided, they were making collab content about a game, where the winner would sleep with Bonnie Blue,” said Ayu, local Bali news outlet Kumparan News reported Wednesday.
“No pornographic activities or acts have been found in the collaborative content.”
The furore around Blue broke out after she took to the streets of the deeply religious country on a “BangBus” tour for Schoolies.
Blue, who was released Saturday and was fully “co-operating with authorities and the police,” her spokesperson told news.com.au, has remained on the Indonesian island for the course of the investigation.
If she had been prosecuted and found guilty of the pornographic allegations, Blue had faced up to 15 years imprisonment in Indonesia and fines up to approximately $361,000, which are the maximum penalties.
Badung Police Chief, Arif Batubara, said action was taken after the public reported the alleged creation of an pornographic video.
Indonesia has strict “morality” laws that ban an array of disrespectful acts, including public nudity and engaging in sexual activities outside of marriage.
One of the individuals who claimed to have ratted out the infamous sex worker said he did it because the local community was in shock at Blue’s Schoolie’s antics.
“Pornography is illegal here, producing pornography is illegal here, working without a proper permit is illegal here, and we don’t want Bonnie Blue’s Gang Bang from Bali being posted and shared around the world. Bali doesn’t need that kind of publicity,” the anonymous individual said.
Badung Police seized Blue’s “bang bus” as part of its investigation, as well as a number of other items, including several cameras, condoms, sexual enhancement pills and USB drives.
It’s not the first time Blue has been kicked out of a country for her controversial Schoolies stunts.
The sex worker was deported alongside Australian sex worker, Annie Knight, from Fiji in November 2024.
The country’s Minister for Immigration, Pio Tikoduadua, described the move at the time as an effort to “safeguard Fiji’s integrity and immigration system.”
