Feminist Podcaster Blasted For Hosting Bonnie Blue, Who Has Slept With Hundreds Of College Students

Popular podcaster Grace “GK” Barry has faced backlash this week after hosting controversial adult entertainer Bonnie Blue. Fans were left “disappointed,” noting that Grace failed to challenge her guest on behaviors many viewed as a harmful example for young women. Others argued that Grace should have condemned Bonnie’s involvement with married men more strongly.

Highlights
  • Podcaster Grace 'GK' Barry faces backlash for hosting Bonnie Blue.
  • Grace failed to challenge Bonnie on her controversial lifestyle.
  • Bonnie shared she profited $3.9 million from adult content.
  • Controversy over Bonnie's interactions with married men and students.

Grace, known for her feminist perspectives, invited Bonnie onto her Saving Grace podcast on Thursday (October 24).

Bonnie has sparked controversy over the past two months after touring various cities in the UK, where she slept with hundreds of 18-year-old first-year university students, profiting from the acts by posting footage of them on a subscription-based social media network.

During the podcast, the 25-year-old admitted to Grace: “I’m going to open my door to them of course, and I loved it, they loved it, and it made me rich.”

    The adult entertainer, who relocated from Nottingham, UK to Australia, flew back to her home country, where she slept with a total of 158 men in just two weeks.

    Bonnie’s “Freshers’ Week Tour of UK Unis” initially ignited concerns that she might be exploiting impressionable teenagers.

    However, she told Grace last week that all freshers (first-year university students) had signed consent forms allowing their videos to be posted on her adult streaming platform, in addition to showing their photo IDs.

    “People think it’s wrong, I’m forcing them to do it, but they’re queuing for over eight hours down that line, they very much wanna be here,” Bonnie told Grace, who in turn seemed to approve of the practice.

    During the podcast, Bonnie revealed that she had not only slept with virgins, but also university lecturers, and even married men.

    When Bonnie argued that she saw no problem with sleeping with married men—suggesting they were “busy paying the bills” while their wives failed to provide basic intimate satisfaction—Grace responded with, “Fair enough.”

    At one point, Grace quipped: “Your partner’s gonna cheat if they wanna cheat regardless.”

    Bonnie assured listeners that she used protection and underwent STD testing every two weeks, but admitted she didn’t protect herself during oral acts—a point that Grace chose not to question further.

    The adult entertainer went on to claim that she had made a whopping total of £3 million (approximately $3.9 million) this year alone from her adult streaming account.

    Fans of Grace, celebrated for her humorous TikTok videos and female empowerment content, were left deeply disappointed by the podcast episode.

    A YouTube user commented: “Grace has a problem with never being able to disagree with her guests, never challenging them in any way, she adopts their views. 

    “This can make for great interviewing in some circumstances but agreeing with such outlandish views like this is totally irresponsible. 

    “Save this talk for the incel podcasts.”

    A person demanded: “This needs to be taken down. This is absolutely grim.”

    A viewer wrote: “I hate her attitude of cheating if your partner isn’t having s*x! There [are] so many reasons [someone] might not be having s*x with [their] partner! 

    “Depression, trauma, illness, maybe [they] just had a baby and are struggling! There are so many reasons. 

    “It doesn’t mean you should be allowed to have to s*x with someone else when your partner could be having a difficult time!

    “What happened to commitment and for better or worse! Just really annoys me this attitude.”

    Fans were left “disappointed,” noting that Grace failed to challenge her guest on behaviors many viewed as harmful

    “I feel like this video could really affect Grace’s career (not to mention young girls)… this needs to be taken down.”

    A netizen shared:  “Grace agreeing with her when she’s [talking] about husbands cheating on their wives. Honestly, this is SO disappointing!”

    “This is so disappointing Grace,” an observer added.

    The negative feedback continued to spread on social media, as people took to Grace’s recent Instagram post where she had shared a picture of herself with Bonnie to promote the controversial episode.

    An Instagram user asked: “Who’s on next week Andrew Tate?” 

    Someone else penned: “With the age demographic of your viewers, do you think this was the right choice to do?”

    “Grace nooooo your platform is so much better than this,” a netizen exclaimed. “First time ever I’ll say this … airing this podcast will not be a good move at all…”

    A separate individual chimed in: “The first podcast of yours I’ve turned off. Not a good choice of guest, you’re better than this.”

    Others argued that Grace should have condemned Bonnie’s involvement with married men more strongly

    Although the podcast episode remains available as of this writing, a promotional video for the episode featuring Bonnie, previously posted on Saving Grace‘s official TikTok page, has since been removed, amid a growing number of comments slamming Grace.

    Bonnie rose to infamy this autumn for saying she wanted to sleep with as many students as possible while filming.

    While she said that most of the participants were respectful, she revealed that her phone had been stolen and she was blackmailed by the thief for money.

    “Me sharing my location online was a risk worth taking despite being robbed, threatened, and blackmailed,” Bonnie said defiantly, the Nottingham Post reported on September 25.

    She added: “[Sleeping with] uni students and their dads has made me rich, so I’ll always be a target for the sc*m.

    “It could have been a lot worse so I’m not really bothered about it. I’m just more annoyed at myself for forgetting not everyone is nice.”

    Bonnie has been traveling around the world, deliberately targeting university hotspots to advertise to young men and encourage them to sleep with her, Cosmopolitan reported on Tuesday.

    The X-rated content star reportedly said she offered the students the chance to have intimate relationships with her for free in exchange for filming them and sharing the videos online. 

    She told Cosmopolitan: “As an adult content creator I want to educate late teens on how to have fun, stay safe, and enjoy a healthy s*x life without worrying about judgment and shame the older generation likes to push about s*x.”

    She revealed that prior to her unconventional career, she was married but quickly grew disinterested in traditional life.

    Bonnie explained: “I was bored of living in the 9 to 5, so [I thought] I’m gonna give this a go.”

    As a visual editor in the News team, I look for the most interesting pictures and comments to make each post interesting and informative through images, so that you aren't reading only blocks of text. I joined Bored Panda not that long ago, but in this short amount of time I have covered a wide range of topics: from true crime to Taylor Swift memes (my search history is very questionable because of that).In my freetime, I enjoy spending time at the gym, gaming, binging Great British Bake Off and adding yet another tattoo artist that I would love to get a tattoo from to my pinterest board.

    So people are wiling to give lip service to sexual freedom and not 's**t shaming', but as soon as someone comes along that's 'too slutty' their true colours show.

    This. Unless it causes actual harm to somebody else you (and the morons passing laws) have zero business criticizing (or regulating) somebody else's morals. And before the stupid people say it's hurting their wives, it the guys that are going to be out there screwing somebody that are hurting their wives not the somebody they're screwing.

    So what, she's a sex worker. What is is 1692 or something? Men will use sex workers, but be the first to point the finger.

    No, they will have onsite rapid STD testing that gives a result in 20-90 minutes. the tests will be done the day before the shoot and at the same time as those taking part will be asked to sign release forms. There is nothing spontaneous about a porn shoot. I only ever did photoshoots not videos but the pre-shoot procedures are about the same.
