The parents of infamous porn star Bonnie Blue have revealed their true thoughts on their daughter's choice in career, as Channel 4 releases a fly-on-the-wall documentary.
By now, I'm sure you're all well aware of who Bonnie Blue is, but for those who've managed to avoid learning about the adult creator, here's a quick recap.
Bonnie - real name Tia Billinger - is an adult film creator from Nottingham who achieved internet notoriety after filming videos of herself sleeping with freshers during their first weeks at university and sharing them on her OnlyFans account.
Her stunts only got more controversial from there, with the 26-year-old ending up being banned from the subscription-based website after announcing plans to host a very NSFW 2,000-person 'petting zoo' event.

An OnlyFans spokesperson stated that ‘extreme challenge content’ is not permitted on the platform, adding: "Any breach of our Terms of Service results in content or account deactivation."
However, the star doesn't appear to be at all bothered about the backlash, claiming to make millions of pounds every month from her content.
Now Channel 4 are set to release a documentary about her rise to fame titled 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story, asking: "Was she dangerously pandering to male fantasies or being an empowered sex-positive entrepreneur?"
The programme, which takes its name from her attempt to break the record of having the most sexual partners in one day, is set to air tonight (29 July) and is said to follow Bonnie across six months and features numerous scenes depicting her having sex.

So safe to say not something you want to be watching with your parents.
However, Bonnie's parents didn't seem to get this memo, with a review from Anita Singh at The Telegraph revealing her parents and grandmother were present to watch a screening of the programme and didn't appear fazed by the extreme content.
When asked about their opinions on her career in the documentary, Bonnie's mother appeared to be in full support of her lucrative career, saying: "If you could earn a million pounds in a month, your morals would soon change and you’d get your bits out."
Sarah Billinger has long been a supporter of her daughter's career, even lending a helping hand with the planning of some of her sex stunts.

Meanwhile, her father is also said to 'love' her work, according to Blue, which is certainly a particularly strange choice in words, especially as the review notes that he sat stony-faced throughout the screening.
Channel 4 has since responded to backlash about the documentary, releasing a statement to The Mirror, which reads: "The film questions Tia’s methods and the divisive style of her social media and hears from colleagues and collaborators in order to understand her polarising business model."
Addressing the inclusion of sex in the programme, it continued: "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 will be alerted of the sexual content in a programme warning at the start to ensure they understand from the outset the nature of the programme."
LADbible previously reached out to Channel 4 for further comment.
1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story is set to air on Channel 4 on Tuesday, 29 July at 10.00pm.
