- READ MORE: Bonnie Blue breaks her silence after Bali arrest as she reveals how she avoided jail time
Annie Knight has weighed in on Bonnie Blue's recent arrest in Bali, slamming her former friend as insensitive.
Bonnie, 26, whose real name is Tia Billinger, was arrested on suspicion of making pornographic material alongside more than a dozen men in Bali earlier this month, after allegedly playing a 'sex game' at a Schoolies event.
She faced a lengthy 15-year prison sentence and an AUD $541,000 fine if found guilty in the country where creating or even watching pornography is illegal.
But instead she received a minuscule fine of AUD $20 and was banned from Indonesia for a decade for traffic violations related to her blue pickup truck, labelled the 'Bangbus'.
Speaking to Daily Mail about the drama, Annie, 28, said that while she didn't want to see Bonnie behind bars, she was 'disappointed' a heftier punishment wasn't meted out.
'I think it's super disappointing that Bonnie got off so easy,' she said.

'Obviously I wouldn't want her to go to jail, but I think a more hefty fine would have been appropriate.'
Annie also slammed Bonnie for being disrespectful to the laws and customs of Indonesia, claiming that she might set a dangerous precedent.
'The way Bonnie continued and still continues to mock Indonesia as a country, further disrespecting their laws and their beliefs but managed to get away with a $20 fine is insane,' she said.
'I think it's showing people who plan to go to Bali and break the laws that they can get away with anything.'
Annie continued: 'What's most upsetting is her lack of respect for other people was very obvious by her response to getting arrested in Bali.
'To walk into an immigration centre, vlog and talk about subscribing to your sex work platform, when you're at risk of being imprisoned for 15 years is utterly insane.'
With Bonnie now banned from entering Australia, Fiji, and Indonesia, Annie said that Bonnie was making a rod for her own back by continuing to flout the laws of the countries she visits.
'I assume it will be harder for her to travel overseas due to these multiple visa violations,' she said.

'I would say most countries would be unlikely to let her into their country, so yes I think she should be careful. It just doesn't look great for leaving the UK from now on.'
She added that she could also face considerable problems in the US, especially after President Donald Trump's recent announcement that foreign tourists will be forced to hand over the past five years of their social media history in order to enter the country.
'Her USA ESTA [under 90-day tourist/business visa] has been revoked once already, and Trump's asking for five years of social media history of anyone entering. I wonder how that's going to go down,' she said.
Annie added that Bonnie's overseas exploits only serve to harm others in the adult content creation industry who are already under a microscope when travelling abroad.
'Any time we [people in the adult industry] go overseas for a holiday, we are paranoid that we will be deported even though we're not doing anything wrong,' Annie said.
'I think now with this Bonnie Bali situation, it'll be harder for us to enjoy holidays due to countries being more aware of people like Bonnie breaking the rules.'
Prior to Bonnie's Bali stunt, she faced off with Annie in a fiery clash on the Kyle & Jackie O show.
'Her morals were just very different to mine. We were friends and I stood up for her a lot and then she basically just turned around and stabbed me in the back,' Annie told Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O Henderson.
The drama escalated later in the expansive chat when Kyle and Jackie O got Bonnie on the line to give her side.

The radio duo asked Bonnie if there was any chance the rift between her and Annie could be mended.
'Girls need to support girls. Have you heard that?' Kyle said. 'Will you guys all start supporting each other again?' to which Annie replied: 'I've always been supportive.'
For her part, Bonnie admitted that she was reluctant to mend fences with her former bestie.
'It just depends,' she said. 'It feels like we go around in circles.'
'I run a business, we all run a business and we should all just be happy and do what we want to do in terms of content,' Bonnie added before Annie interjected with: 'Without dragging our friends down.'
'[Bonnie] was trying to get me banned from OnlyFans and, because she got banned from OnlyFans, I think she didn't like that I was still on the platform and still making money.'

Speaking to Daily Mail about the fracas, Bonnie said that there was little hope of the pair mending their relationship.
'It's not a priority,' she said.
'My priority is for the people I'm sleeping with and the people I'm entertaining with.'
Bonnie also called out Annie for claiming that she supports women – something that Bonnie strongly refuted.
'She was saying she supports women and doesn't drag anyone down,' she said.
'It only takes two minutes to look at her social media to see what she's posting about me recently saying: "Bonnie Blue is a liar. Bonnie Blue isn't doing Schoolies". However, that's not factual at all.'
