Tensions are brewing between adult stars Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips after Bonnie took a swipe at her former pal for "copying" her idea.
The controversial OnlyFans stars have left experts gravely concerned after competing with each other in disturbing sex challenges, with one seeing Bonnie allegedly sleep with 1,057 men in just 12 hours. Experts and fellow sex workers are warning that the saturated market, combined with a digital landscape which favours viral, shocking content, is pushing young women on the platform to potentially damaging extremes.
Bonnie and Lily's competitive streaks and reactive patterns to set new potentially dangerous sex records, each more extreme than the last, have even sparked fears from therapists and mental health specialists who say there could be long-term physical and mental health impacts from their work. Some social media users are even calling for the platform to be banned, citing an apparent lack of safeguarding for potentially vulnerable creators. The Mirror has put these concerns to OnlyFans with no response, but the company's CEO Keily Blair has previously insisted that the sex platform is 'safe', 'feminist' and 'empowering'.
Tensions between the adult stars was first reignited when Lily, 23, revealed she had slept with 100 men in 24 hours back in December. The star, who heartbreakingly cried after the stunt and warned it's "not for the weak", then announced she planned to sleep with 1,000 men a day. Days after Lily announced she was 'in training' for the challenge, Bonnie then declared she had beaten her to it, claiming to have slept with 1,057 men in 12 hours, thus 'breaking the world record' before Lily.
As fears grew for both content creators, Bonnie then claimed in an interview that the 1,000-man stunt was her idea originally but Lily went ahead and ran with it - seemingly causing frictions. And now, Bonnie has dropped out of a work engagement, reportedly because Lily got there first. In a bold move, Bonnie 'blew off' a scheduled appearance on Plug Talk podcast because Lily had already been interviewed on it just days ago, according to the host.
Adam22, an internet personality, said on X: "Bonnie cancelled multiple podcast appearances in LA because we had Lily on first," before joking about the adult industry 'politics'. Lily appeared on the show last week, and the episode was released on Tuesday. On the show, Lily opened up about her worrying plans to sleep with 1,000 men in the US. She also revealed she was warned about being deported if it went ahead.
Meanwhile, Bonnie told the Daily Mail that Lily had "stabbed her in the back" by "copying" her idea after they became friends last year. According to the Nottingham-born sex worker, she shared her initial idea when she invited Lily to join her at Freshers' Week in the UK to sleep with first-year university students for OnlyFans content, a move that sparked widespread fury at the time.
"Way before Lily even put it on her socials that she'd like to do the world sex record, and when I helped her out and invited her to do my Fresher's content, I shared the idea with her saying that I really wanted to do the world record. And I guess I'm very trustworthy and oblivious to people's bitterness so I shared my idea that I'd like to do it. Then it wasn't until November, three months later, she then announced on her socials that she was doing the world record," Bonnie claimed.
Bonnie said "rivarly suggests competition" and said it's something she doesn't have as it was her idea all along. She claimed she had already spoken to Lily about her plans for it, so was shocked when Lily had announced it. Bonnie even said she'd introduced Lily to media contacts and helped her with publicity to try and help boost her name, only to feel 'betrayed' when Lily copied her idea.
But Lily recently congratulated Bonnie on completing her worrying stunt. "I respect it," she told Fabulous magazine. She went on to add: "That's hard work, so congratulations to her. I don't think there's competition."
