Janice Turner Interview with Bonnie Blue

Its late capitalism manifest, a totally commodified human being who only sees other people as she see herself as a resource to be exploited. It is soulless and damaging and she is very much a victim of our time and the tech bosses who ultimately profit off of women like her and those she inspires to give it a go.

She is also an example of the idea that if one is to do porn then one should become a famous porn star and make huge amounts of money doing the most outrageous work. Most women make little to no money on OF or doing porn and yet still have images and videos of them naked, having self, engaged in degrading or abusive sexual behaviours forevermore online. So they take all the risk and get very little financial reward. So Bonnie Blue may get rich enough to retire before she gets out so she might not have to worry about a different kind of job or perhaps she hopes to get a piece of the action exploiting others?

One only needs to look at the high risk of mental health issues, suicide and drug or alcohol related deaths in current and ex-porn actors to see that the emotional and psychological price paid for this work is very high. Added to that is her potential influence on younger women and the risks they may take to gain notoriety and followers, upping the ante for what is expected of them.

Is she being tested for STDs regularly

I expect that if most of us had gone down the route she’s taken our parents would beg us to stop, maybe pay us to stop and arrange therapy, yet her mum is there right behind her making signs for her, it’s not normal, is it? I’d rather live on £10k a year for the rest of my life than have a million pounds from being a piece of meat 1,000 men put their dirty cocks in for 40 seconds at a time.

I suspect there was childhood abuse, perhaps going back generations.

Abusers show porn to their children to desensitise them. I suppose some abused children will block out any horror they’ve experienced and their behaviour manifests in different unusual ways. It’s just such extreme behaviour of hers. It just makes me sick to my stomach really. I just feel disgust and pity in equal measures.

I have no idea what the deal is with her but in my mind I believe she’s been completely coerced by her mum from an early age to behave this way for money and is brainwashed into believing this is a great way to make loads of money for her and her mum.
I really hope she hasn’t come from an abusive background and we’ve all been watching this woman deluding herself this is the way to be loved by her family.

One day her world will implode when she realises how disgusting her life has been and she’ll want to scratch her eyes out at the shame of it all.

She clearly sees it as an effective business model that provides her with the sort of designer/luxury lifestyle that she thinks she wants. Her attitude towards sex has been totally shaped by pornography and she thinks she can compartmentalise what she permits to happen to her as just being a job; a means to an end. She thinks if she stays business minded then it won't have a negative impact upon her. But things seem to be getting ever more extreme - in the search for clicks and sales.Her mother is obvioiusly made of the same stuff......prepared to do what ever it takes to achieve what it is she thinks she wants or needs.

Brings to mind Jeffrey Epstein...just watching that Netflix documentary about him -'"Filthy Rich'. He was utterly ruthless and focused on hos goal ( becoming exceedingly rich and subsequently powerful and able to indulge his every desire). He had no moral scruples about how he went about anything, or the damage it was doing to his own spirit, to the people he associated with, and certainly not to the girls and young women he abused.

The girls too, talked about allowing the abuse to continue for years ( in some cases) because the money and lifestyle he offered them in return was something they did not want to lose...because they could see no better option for themselves. So they endured the abuse that went with the deal they had struck.

As Janice put it

"Bonnie is where the influencer economy meets the porn industry"

The thing is, no I wouldn't, as most women would not given the option. There is no money that would be enough.

I thought that too. Plus her mother is her manager?

She may like money, she may even like having sex for money. Some women do, although they're the minority and it's always £1000 a night at Claridges, nobody wants to be a streetwalker in some shitty estate. And even then they still tend to do it only until they can do something else. But even by those standards, this isn't normal, this is miswired, this is fucked up. It's absolutely a trauma response and yes it seems she did initially try for a normal family life and then found out that wasn't likely to happen.

She insists there's no abuse or anything but there's something, oversexualised behaviour is a known trauma response.

I think it's also the money & the influencer lifestyle that SM promotes that she wanted. she just went down the sex route.

She's not particularly attractive and doesn't have a good personality, though. There's nothing there that warms you to her.

I see this woman (BB) being another Katie Price.

She's not had any disfiguring cosmetic surgery. Yet

Although I note that comment from her mum ("if you were offered a load of money YOU'D change your morals, wouldn't you?") and her next stunt that might involve A*al and there's every chance she could end up with life long injuries if she's tempted into it with enough money

One thing that wasn't mentioned is that Tia / Bonnie's dad is actually her step-dad, and she never knew her biological father. She tries to claim that this never gave her any issues, but someone mentioned that if you look at her old Twitter account, she describes trying to send him letters and not getting any response, and the effect this had on her as a young girl. Many women in porn try to make out that they had a "normal" upbringing, but when you scratch the surface, 9 times out of 10 it's anything but... And it's alarming to think of how many sex workers, particularly porn stars, die prematurely :-(

I got round the paywall easily by clicking the Accessibility 'View' button when it appeared.

What the hell is going on in Derbyshire? Her dad wasn't mentioned, just her mum. An interview with them and their upbringing would have been interesting

There was an article shared yesterday about another influencer who was desperate for attention and social media likes. Not porn but still about the damage social media is doing for people desperate for attention, believing they're special in some way and the money behind anyone wanting to exploit them. I see this woman (BB) being another Katie Price.

She's a masochist who, from that snippet of info about her trying for a child without success wants to rest her body and punish it.

It is a very good article, especially as Janice has to deal with the conundrum about writing about someone who is not only an obvious attention seeker but also very crafted at turning attention into publicity.

Janice said it was like interviewing two people and Tia is bright woman who knows how to turn criticism into more publicity and can switch to Bonnie mode with ease. When questioned about men thinking that choking women during sex is normal she instantly switched to Bonnie mode to aggressively respond: “If I went on a first date, I’d want him to choke me". I doubt she means it but knows that doubling down creates notoriety and in Bonnie mode is prepared to say anything to get it.

Janice is no fool herself and knows that tackling Tia head with moral arguments will just give her further opportunities to throw more fuel on the sensationalist fire. Instead she asks Tia probing questions and lets her talk and the result is an interesting in depth interview. The only direct criticism Janice offers up is about Tia encouraging other women into the industry, which is an interesting avenue to pursue. Tia obviously feels no shame about her own actions and again responds forcefully but I suspect it touched a nerve. It certainly made me think that Tia would be better off calling it quits, taking the money and getting out.

Suddenly glad it's behind a pay wall

New laws came into place yesterday whereby UK residents have to upload ID and/do facial recognition for 18+ sites. So this should help with under 18s accessing thinks kind of thing.

However I have noticed that tiktok hasn't requested this when they have a lot of 18+ stuff on there. Reddit requested ID upload or facial recognition. So who knows just how useful this is.

I do think BB is very flat and doesn't have much facial expression. I worry that other young women will see her story and think it's an easy way to a lot of money.

Her use of certain terms regarding young men and women make me sick.

I switch between thinking she is clearly mentally unwell, to despising her.

I was agog reading this.
Especially gross was licking a man with enormous piles.
Barf.

Exactly. I'm beyond finding it sad for her now, I find her repulsive and horrific.

It is so depressing. For women and men and society that we allow this to flourish. What is the matter with us? I don't buy the empowerment bullshit. I love Janice Turner, it's a good piece.

No worries about copying and pasting - I have read it now, on the laptop. Very, very sad... Janice Turner has done a wonderful job, as ever.

Could someone copy and paste? It is behind a pay wall. No words for the grimness of it all, and I agree about how flat and disassociated she seems.

The fact her mum thinks this is so wonderful suggests she was poorly raised with strange attitudes to sex and self respect. She is a product of a dysfunctional childhood and will be in therapy for a long time in the future.
It is pretty clear in the article that the only place to go now is to be even more extreme. What the end result will be is terrifying.
