Adult content creator Bonnie Blue, real name Tia Billinger, has been reported to the NSPCC by the Conservative Party, after a promotional video featuring her newborn baby sparked significant backlash.
What prompted the report
Shadow equalities spokeswoman Joy Morrissey wrote directly to the children's charity to raise what she described as serious safeguarding concerns, in a letter obtained by The Sun. She wrote: "Children are not adults. They must never be involved in pornography, used to promote adult entertainment, or absorbed into a parent's sexualised commercial brand. Even the suggestion that a child may be placed in such circumstances is deeply disturbing." Morrissey said children must be protected from exposure to this kind of content, and that looking away isn't an option when a child's welfare may be at stake.
Morrissey also referenced Bonnie's past comments supporting Reform UK's positions on inheritance tax and immigration, saying it was revealing that the party would accept her as a supporter, and argued that conservatism should uphold standards rather than court attention.
Bonnie Blue's response
Bonnie, who gave birth in late August, pushed back strongly against the criticism, telling The Sun: "Oh, are the Conservatives still going? Bless her. I suppose name-dropping me is one way of trying to stay relevant. My baby is loved, protected and incredibly well looked after. Becoming a mum hasn't changed the fact that I'm Bonnie Blue, but I know exactly where Bonnie ends and being a mum begins. If anyone has genuine safeguarding concerns, there are proper channels for raising them. But wasting the time of already stretched and understaffed services to score political points, because you dislike what I do for a living, only draws vital resources away from children who may genuinely need their help."
