Bonnie Blue’s mum reveals how she really feels about her ‘stunts’ after new doc sparks controversy
Bonnie Blue's mum has revealed her true feelings on her daughter's X-rated stunts, after a new documentary on the adult star aired on Channel 4 on Tuesday (29 July) evening.
The adult performer, whose real name is Tia Billinger, claims to have slept with over 1,000 men in just 12 hours.
Following the stunt, she thanks 'all the barely legal, barely breathing and the husbands' for coming along, adding: "I don’t need a wheelchair, I am fine. It just feels like I’ve had a heavy day in the bedroom, which is exactly what I’ve had.
“If it had carried on like it did for the first three, four hours I would have struggled.”

The porn star, who is from Nottingham, is also known for filming herself sleeping with university students during freshers' week before sharing the videos on her OnlyFans.
This week, a new documentary delved into Bonnie's rise to fame, titled 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story.
In it, her mum, Sarah Billinger, opened up on how she feels about her daughter's career choice.
“Would it be something that I chose for her to do? No. I was really, really shocked. But now, would I want her doing anything else? Not at all. All you want is for your kids to be happy and she is happy," said Sarah.
“It’s her choice. She’s 25. I can’t choose what she wants to do. I’m proud of everything. But I always have been.”
Sarah also believes that people would change their moral stance on Bonnie's antics if they had the opportunity to make the same amount of money.
“People I know have always liked us both, but now they think it’s okay to put nasty comments," she added.
“Most of the time I just laugh. I think, ‘If you could earn £1million a month, your morals would soon change and you’d get your bits out’. They say they’ve got all these morals, but no way, not for £1million a month.”
After the doc aired on Tuesday, people took to social media in outrage following Channel 4's decision to include sexual scenes.
One person wrote online: "Putting a documentary on tv abt bonnie blue at 10pm showing literal porn with no filter just days after the age verification thing went live is actually crazy work channel 4."
While another added: "UK Gov: let’s ban saucy content and protect our kids.
"Channel 4: let’s show a film about Bonnie Blue being ploughed by 1000 guys."
And a third wrote: "Channel 4 has sunk a new low. Why is there a documentary on Bonnie Blue? Why are they trying to normalise her deviancy on national television?"
Defending its decision to include the scenes, Channel 4 said in a statement to Tyla: "Careful consideration has been given to the content and the way in which it is included.
"The explicit content in the documentary is editorially justified and provides essential context; making pornographic content is Bonnie’s job, and this film is about her work and the response to it.
"Crucially, the content is presented in a non-gratuitous manner and viewers were alerted to the sexual content in a programme warning at the start and after each ad break to ensure they understood from the outset the nature of the programme. The programme was broadcast after watershed and is compliant with the Ofcom broadcasting code."
Meanwhile, Director Victoria Silver said: “If I was making a film about a musician or some other kind of performer, their work would be in there. I think it’s really important to see what she does.
“It’s going out after 10pm and it’s for an older audience.”
Tyla has reached out to Channel 4 for comment.
