Just when it seemed like the clout-chasing Olympics couldn’t get any more ridiculous, Lily Phillips and Bonnie Blue have managed to pole vault their way back onto the winner’s platform. If you’ve been blessed enough not to be chronically online this past week, you might have missed it. Alas for you, I had to know about it, so I’m dragging you all down with me.
Just as the hubbub over Blue stealing the world-record-breaking spotlight—while Phillips had famously intended to snag that honor for herself—was beginning to die down, both content creators announced pregnancies within hours of each other. But don’t worry about any children being stuck in that childhood quagmire—both women have since announced “just kidding!” No babies yet for Britain’s biggest sluts, just a desperate thirst for engagement and an insatiable need to chase headlines.
Both Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips are OnlyFans content creators who have built their brands on scandal and keeping their names in the headlines. Recently, the two have been feuding. Why? Well, in October, Phillips slept with 101 men over a period of 14 hours, then announced that she intended to break the world record for most sexual encounters in a day—because nothing says “career milestone” quite like treating yourself like a turnstile, right? Well, Blue must have agreed, because in January of this year, she broke the world record for most sexual encounters in a day, not Phillips. Both mass sex stunts sparked media backlash and calls for the women to maybe slow it down a titch. Neither one has, but they’ve certainly enjoyed watching their subscriber counts climb higher and higher as their names kept trending online from their shenanigans.
Now onto the most recent bit of yikes: last week, each woman either teased or outright announced a pregnancy. Blue shared pictures of pickles covered in chocolate on her Instagram story, referring to them as “cravings” she’d been having. Phillips straight-up shared a picture of herself cradling a pregnant belly—mere hours after she was spotted wearing skin-tight gym clothes. Many citizens of the internet cried foul and declared there was no way these two women—women who have a lot of penetrative sex for a living and thus know their way around birth control better than most—could possibly be knocked up. The internet sleuths were correct. Both women announced, in one way or another, that it was fake less than 48 hours after their “news” blew up the internet.
Phillips claimed it was “roleplay” for her followers. Blue said it was to stir up her subscriber count so she could help pay for someone else’s IVF treatments. Regardless of their justifications for why they thought it was okay to throw out fake pregnancy announcements… ladies, wtf?
Blue and Phillips seem to be locked in a battle of “who can be the most unhinged for clicks?” and there doesn’t seem to be any clear winner. From breaking sex records to trolling their own followers with pregnancy fakeouts… what’s next? A cancer diagnosis? A fake funeral? Actually, never mind—I don’t want to give them too many ideas.
My other question is: Are they really rivals, or are they pretending to be feuding so they can keep playing an all-too-willing public for clicks?
The moral here? I honestly don’t have one, other than to remind you that in an age where clicks = cash, nothing is sacred. Phillips and Blue continue to prove that there’s no PR stunt too tasteless if it boosts their subscriber count. It’s probably best to stop assuming they’ve hit rock bottom every time a new scandal erupts because these two seem to own a morality excavator.
Will there ever be a scandal big enough to make their audiences say, “Okay, I’ve had enough”? Given that they’re thriving off hate clicks, the odds aren’t great. Until they either give up or retire, we continue to watch, wait, and wish we could unsee things.
