Adult stars have frequently been at the center of controversies purely because of their profession. However, some of them have crossed the line in more than one way, which left people absolutely fuming.
Whether for their public appearances, online personas, publicity stunts, or comments on sensitive issues, adult entertainers have proven divisive public figures on social media platforms, especially since the rise of platforms featuring explicit content.
Here are ten instances where adult content creators crossed all limits, leaving netizens infuriated.
#1 Alicia Amira
Adult entertainer Alicia Amira’s attempt to deliver a message of empowerment left the internet unimpressed. In March 2019, the then-29-year-old appeared on an episode of This Morning.
Amira, who describes herself as a ‘professional bi*bo’ and ‘anti-feminist,’ admitted to having extensive plastic surgeries, having spent approximately $19,000 on cosmetic procedures.
“My aim is to show people that you don’t have to be stupid to be a bi*bo. This is my choice, and I didn’t always look like this,” she said during the appearance.
More recently, in April, the 36-year-old updated the previous figure, claiming to have spent $120k on body augmentations and surgeries. She spends an additional $3,000 on maintenance and top-ups following her multiple plastic surgeries.
In both instances, the model faced harsh backlash online, with several netizens criticizing her for allegedly normalizing expensive and potentially harmful cosmetic enhancements.
“She’s glamorizing body dysmorphia,” one user wrote. “Such a ghastly appearance!” a second person commented. “It is sad to see someone pursue these things,” added another viewer.

#2 Kay Manuel
Adult content creator Kay Manuel made headlines in November 2024, after she was kicked out of an Airbnb in Gold Coast, Australia, for sleeping with several fresh high school graduates and filming the encounters.
She had reportedly rented the property during the Schoolies Week—an Australian tradition where graduating students celebrate the end of their high school phase. Within the first 24 hours of the week, Manuel reportedly slept with 55 graduates.
The 22-year-old told news.com.au that she had spent the morning filming racy content with 20 students belonging to a “sporting team” in Victoria when she was asked to vacate the property.
Netizens found her actions exploitative, and many felt that while what the influencer did was not illegal, it was “nasty” and “gross.”
Manuel defended her actions by stating, “They know exactly what they’re getting themselves into.” She added, “If they want their face (shown) or don’t want their face (shown), they can decide for themselves.”
“It’s only encouraged me,” she said of the online criticism, determined to sleep with 1000 new graduates by the end of November.
In a follow-up conversation with the publication, Manuel admitted she “was lying” regarding her exploits, claiming that no scenes had been filmed over the weekend.
That same month, the website Manuel used to distribute her explicit content suspended her account due to an alleged violation of the terms of service or community guidelines. She also left Australia and said she needed to “look into everything and see what’s happened there” before she could resume filming adult content in the country.

#3 Annie Knight
In May, Australian adult entertainer Annie Knight was left “begging” doctors to fix her pain after allegedly sleeping with 583 men in a single day, an act that landed her in the hospital.
The event resulted in the model being left with severe bleeding. Later, Knight revealed that her health had already been on the decline for months before she undertook the controversial bedroom challenge.
She had previously been diagnosed with endometriosis, a condition that affects tissues outside the uterus, and admitted that it had gotten worse because of the event.
“I’m not doing very well, I’ve been bleeding a lot since the challenge,” she told Us Weekly.
Netizens felt that the influencer had only herself to blame for her poor health, describing her actions as “attention seeking at its best.”
“You make me feel sick, and now you want our sympathy,” one user commented on her health update.
Several others questioned the model’s sanity, posting comments such as, “I think you went to the wrong hospital. Have you ever asked for mental health support?” and “See a therapist and delete your social media.”

#4 Lily Phillips
Adult star Lily Phillips is no stranger to controversies, first rising to fame with the audacious claim of sleeping with over 100 men in a day. In March 2025, the adult content creator received criticism for allegedly sleeping with elderly men at nursing homes.
It all started with a TikTok video where the 23-year-old claimed to be seeking out her oldest fan, issuing an open invitation to men on social media. “I feel like the men at care homes don’t get their needs filled often. So, I would love to come visit them,” she explained.
She followed up the post with another video, posing alongside an elderly man in what appears to be a retirement home. “When I said I don't mind guys any age, any size, I really meant it,” she said.
Phillips’ actions drew negative reactions from netizens, who slammed her for allegedly preying on the elderly. One X user criticized her by commenting, “She needs to be arrested.” Another person wrote, “Tryna make sure her 15 minutes of fame lasts as long as possible lol.”
The adult performer later shared another video, sporting a white miniskirt and cardigan. She was sitting on the lap of a white haired man and claimed to have slept with him. However, some eagle-eyed viewers identified the man as 68-year-old adult star Jake Jacobs, also known as Jay Crew.
As a result, several netizens dismissed Phillips’ nursing home visits as nothing more than a vile publicity stunt. Earlier in February, the model was similarly criticized for claiming to be pregnant, with her publicist later confirming that the news was fake.

#6 Bonnie Blue
Adult star Bonnie Blue stirred up controversy when she attended an NBA game with her boyfriend and rapper Lil Mabu. Famous for her claim of bedding 1,057 men in 24 hours, the British model often pulls outrageous on-camera stunts.
In a bid to create viral content, Blue and her partner seemingly crossed all limits when watching the Miami Heat-Houston Rockets game on March 21, 2025, at the Kaseya Center. The couple was seated next to the broadcast booth, where they received plenty of camera attention.
In the crowded arena, Blue appeared to lower her face in her boyfriend’s lap, hinting at an indecent act as the 20-year-old rapper made a suggestive face. Moments later, Blue resurfaced, wiping her mouth in a moment that was captured on national television.
The footage quickly went viral and drew severe backlash against the internet star, whose real name is Tia Billinger. “She needs locking up. She’s an embarrassment to the British people,” one person commented on X.
“Does anyone notice the little legs behind her? That’s children sitting there. This is s*x offender level sh*t,” another disgusted user wrote. However, no legal action was taken against the couple.
It was later revealed that their actions were nothing more than a publicity stunt aimed at promoting Mabu’s new single, BONNIE BLU, and features several references to the 26-year-old’s adult career.
In December 2025, Blue once again went viral after she was deported from Bali, Indonesia, amid an immigration violation caused by working in the country on a tourist visa. She was also found guilty of a minor traffic offence.

#9 Richelle Ryan
Richelle Ryan stirred controversy with her unconventional method of thanking first responders.
The 39-year-old adult actress, known for her vocal support of Donald Trump, extended her gratitude to firefighters. “God bless our first responders, that’s all I can say,” she told the Daily Mail.
She praised them for their brave handling of the devastating Los Angeles fires in January 2025.
At the same time, Ryan offered to take the first responders on a date, expressing a desire to be “one of their sugar mamas.”
She also added that the date would be similar to the things fans have seen her doing in some of her explicit videos. Ryan described the offer as her way of paying it forward to the first responders.
The suggested services made Ryan the subject of a brutal online roasting by netizens who were repulsed by her statement, calling it “cheap.”
“That takes cringe-worthiness to a new low,” commented one user. Another person quipped, “Does she know there are millions of women with her skillset? Not special.”
Others saw the adult star’s comments as a publicity stunt, with some calling her “disgraceful” and “desperate for attention,” accusing her of “doing anything to get her name out there.”
