Channel 4 claps back after Bonnie Blue doc is slammed for ‘disgusting’ X-rated scenes

Channel 4’s new Bonnie Blue documentary has had lots of backlash for its “disturbingly” raunchy content and the way it “normalises” her lifestyle, but they have defended the programme in a statement to The Tab.

1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story follows the 26-year-old as she did her first crazy career-making stunt, where she slept with 1,057 men in just 12 hours in January and filmed the whole thing.

It includes extremely X-rated clips from the OnlyFans video, and people have slammed Channel 4 for including such p**nographic content in its documentary.

“Putting a documentary on TV about Bonnie Blue at 10pm showing literal p**n with no filter just days after the age verification thing went live is actually crazy work Channel 4,” one person wrote on X.

Another said: “So Bonnie Blue gets a documentary on Channel 4 where she can promote and glamourise her lifestyle for the kids watching at home but we need IDs to see posts on X because ‘we need to protect the kids’.”

However, Channel 4 has clapped back, telling The Tab: “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,” they continued.

Responding to backlash that the documentary “glamourises” and “normalises” her lifestyle, they also told The Tab: “1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story is an observational documentary in which director Victoria Silver follows Tia/Bonnie over the course of six months.”

“The director does put many challenges to Bonnie throughout the documentary, and the film clearly lays bare the tactics and strategies Bonnie uses, exploring her highs and lows. It is an accurate portrayal of six months with Bonnie and leaves audiences open to forming their own opinions.”

At the documentary launch, Channel 4’s commissioning editor Tim Hancock told The Tab it is “Channel 4’s job to tell stories like this that are at the edge of modern morality”.

“I commissioned this documentary because Bonnie is the tip of a huge iceberg. Since the pandemic, there has been a cultural shift in the acceptability of creating adult content and the types of people who do it,” he claimed.
