Bonnie Blue criticised over a birthday video for a 17-year-old
Bonnie Blue is facing criticism after posting a birthday video, a "cameo", addressed to a 17-year-old boy, Metro reported on 26 October 2026. In it, Metro says, she told him he would be old enough to visit her "bang bus" in a year's time. Viewers accused her of "spawn camping" and "grooming".
What the video said
According to Metro, Blue posted the clip to her TikTok, wished the boy a happy 17th birthday, and said she was in the "bang bus", somewhere he could not enter yet, but that its doors would open to him in a year. Metro reports the reaction underneath was hostile: viewers called the video "disgusting" and "sick", and some described it as grooming.
What "spawn camping" means here
The term comes from online gaming, where a player waits at the spot an opponent comes back to life and attacks them before they can defend themselves. Metro explains that commenters used it to suggest Blue was waiting for the boy to reach 18.
A safeguarding view
Metro spoke to the social worker and dating educator known as LalaLetMeExplain, co-founder of the Close The Consent Gap campaign. She told Metro the video "raises moral concerns" about whether Blue understands the power dynamic between "an older, famous, rich woman" and a teenager, and called it "highly irresponsible". She also noted that someone must have arranged and paid for the cameo, and may have supplied a script, so she did not see this clip as Blue acting in "an entirely predatory manner". "She could've said no," she told Metro.
She also told Metro the reaction worried her, because of the idea that a boy of 17 would be "lucky" to get an offer like this. "These attitudes harm boys and men," she said. Her campaign wants a staggered age of consent, so that adults aged 20 or over could not have sexual contact with 16 and 17-year-olds unless the age gap is three years or less.
The background
Blue has faced the same criticism before. When she rose to fame in 2024 by inviting university freshers to sleep with her, she denied being a "predator", telling Metro at the time that the people involved were "18 and consenting". Metro also notes that in September 2026 Conservative equalities spokesperson Joy Morrissey reported her to the NSPCC over "serious safeguarding concerns" after videos following the birth of her baby. Metro says it contacted Blue for comment on the cameo; no response was reported at the time of publication.
