Overview
- Bonnie Blue, who posted a video Tuesday, said the pregnancy claim was staged and showed a detachable silicone bump while filming at a villa in Mexico.
- She claimed the campaign drew over 100 million views and made her about £1 million, crediting the outrage it generated for the payout.
- The hoax followed a February event she promoted as a “breeding mission” with about 400 men and a YouTube vlog that featured a positive test and a masked ultrasound technician.
- Skeptics had flagged what looked like a silicone belly in earlier clips, yet she told Us Weekly on March 24 that she was pregnant and said doubts only boosted views.
- The creator, whose real name is Tia Billinger, has a record of shock tactics, including a prior 1,001-man claim, and was arrested in Indonesia last year before being deported for visa violations.
