Bonnie Blue has become a millionaire through her adult film career, which includes inviting fans to participate in what she terms "events".

Her most notable event took place in January, where she had sex with 1,057 men over the course of 12 hours, an experience that now headlines a new Channel 4 documentary titled '1,000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story'.

At the documentary's screening, Bonnie, whose real name is Tia Billinger, expressed satisfaction with her way of life, reports Nottinghamshire Live.

Nevertheless, her notoriety and candid conversations about encounters with married men, whom she believes shouldn't feel remorse for cheating, have taken their toll.

In the documentary, the 26-year-old discloses how her decisions have affected her personal security, revealing: "The last time I went out by myself was probably about six months ago. Now it is not that safe."

She goes on to detail the menacing messages she receives on a daily basis: "I get 100s of death threats a day, so it is not that safe when I walk around."

Considering the potential risks, she observes: "I say, 'It is going to happen at some point, someone will come and give me stick' and fair play to her, at least they are getting up off their sofa. My worst one is acid, if someone did acid, and I could see some spiteful girl doing that."

Following her marriage breakdown, Bonnie's support network has contracted, with her primary backing now coming from Josh, who oversees her online content, and a stylist. She observes: "My sort of circles got smaller, but my team are also my best friends."

Documentary filmmaker Victoria Silver tracked Bonnie for six months, documenting private aspects of her existence and remained present throughout her record-breaking January gathering for several hours.

At the documentary's launch, Bonnie expressed surprise at the considerable inclusion of explicit material. When asked about possible criticism, Victoria commented: "If I was making a film about a musician or some kind of other performer their work would be in there. I think it is important to see what she does."

Nevertheless, Bonnie maintains considerable pride in her career. Looking back on her marathon gathering, she revealed: "I love the fact that I was able to experience that day with over 1,000 subscribers, fans, people that spent time out of the day to come meet me."

She recognised the economic realities of staging such gatherings, explaining: "But, yeah, I also need money to be able to take time out of my days to be able to do that, to hold these events. These events aren't cheap by the time you pay for staff, security, the venue."

The film discloses that Bonnie has experienced months where her income surpassed £1million and showcases the drastic tactics she employs to capture online attention. In a bold move, she organised a school-themed show featuring younger participants who were invited to take part.

According to the director's commentary, these contributors weren't financially rewarded but saw the opportunity to appear alongside Bonnie on social media as sufficient compensation.

At the Birmingham filming location, a participant named Codie shared her excitement: "She got quite big quite fast, so it will be nice to see how she does things. No, I am not being paid today, it'd just be that I get tagged and then hopefully get followers and subs from that and then roll on to my page."

Fellow participant Leah explains: "I got a DM to see if I wanted to take part. As soon as I heard Bonnie Blue's name I was intrigued because she's everywhere at the minute."

Leah discloses this represents her first experience with others present during intimate encounters and admits she's "definitely" anxious.

However, Bonnie seems unperturbed by the participants' apparent hesitancy and nervousness. Bonnie comments: "The fact they are so nervous works in my favour, because their reactions will be more realistic. Or if they feel intimidated, obviously, I want them to say, but sometimes sex is intimidating, so it's going to be good."

A separate segment features Bonnie at her home with her mother Sarah, who fondly recalls her daughter's childhood talents as a dancer.

Sarah also voices her pride concerning her daughter's adult entertainment profession. She remarks: "Would it be something that I chose for her to do, no. I was really, really shocked, but now would I want her to do anything else? No, not at all. It's her choice."

Sarah along with other relatives have left their former jobs to become part of Bonnie's commercial ventures.

Sarah notes: "People I know always liked us both, but think it's OK to make nasty comments.

"Most of the time I just laugh. I'm like, 'If you could earn a million pounds in a month, your morals would soon change, and you'd get your bits out'. I don't care what people say."

Bonnie states: "My family started to put up with hate, I get that, but I also get the life I live and the money. So it's like I also want them to receive some of the rewards."

The documentary ends as Bonnie prepares to travel to Romania to meet influencer Andrew Tate, who is facing rape and human trafficking charges, which he denies, and has proclaimed himself a misogynist. Bonnie states: "He's probably just as controversial as I am. Whether people love him or hate him, he's a marketing genius."

Director Victoria challenges her: "You talk about female empowerment, but how do you square that with aligning yourself with the most misogynistic male on the internet?". Bonnie retorted: "Piers Morgan interviews serial killers all the time. It's not messed up his brand. He [Tate] has been labelled multiple things by the media, and so have I. We're probably the two most misunderstood people out there at the moment."

Channel 4 defended the documentary, telling the Mirror: "The explicit content is editorially justified and provides essential context."
