Blue explained that she started ‘Schoolies’ on November 28 with plans to wrap up the event on December 5. She was arrested a day earlier.
“To be honest, it ended perfectly. If it was the first day of Schoolies, I would have said, ‘Okay, this is frustrating. I came here for a purpose, and now Schoolies is happening and I’m in jail,'” Blue said. “But the timing was perfect.”
Were Bonnie Blue’s images deleted after her arrest?
Despite being “concerned” about her footage being deleted, Blue said she “knew” she needed to back up “so much of the content” – and that she had “already sent the footage and deleted it from my hard drives and laptops.”
“There was content from that day and the last 24 hours that I couldn’t remember if I backed it up or not,” she said. “So I thought, ‘Gosh, that’s going to be frustrating if I don’t get sent to jail and come out and not have the contents.’ However, no content has been removed. So that was a bonus.”

“I thought, ‘Okay, hats off to her because she’s just taken £75,000 from me,’” Blue recalls. “I mean, from the day I landed, she reported to the police, told them where I was and what I was up to, and it made the police, I think, a lot easier to conduct their investigation because he was always aware of my location before I arrived.”
Blue speculated that this person was conspiring against her “for the money and to try to get connections.”

“One of the things that’s obviously been talked about a lot is respect, saying I disrespected a country that has very high morals,” Blue said. “And I think if that was really the case, I wouldn’t have had police officers shoving a camera in my face and FaceTiming friends and family saying they arrested me and saying they were going to charge me.”

“He said, ‘Don’t worry, you’ll be gone in an hour.’ That hour ended up being a really long week,” Blue said. “So yeah, it was definitely scary at times, but more frustrating than anything because they’re really stupid and trying to explain some of my rage bait content to them.”

They don’t have the space to hold 20 people, so we were allowed to leave, but I had no phone, no money, obviously, no passport,” she claimed. “I wasn’t allowed to return to my villa because it was a crime scene. We are in the middle of Bali and we say, ‘What do we do? Where are we going?'”

When could Bonnie leave Blue Bali?
After being fined $12 for traffic violations with her ‘Bangbus’ and given a six-month ban from Indonesia, Blue claimed she should be interrogated again. She was then able to board her flight and was given her passport back.
