Bonnie Blue’s Baby Shower Takes Another Unexpected Turn As Guests Reveal What Cameras Didn’t Catch

Bonnie Blue‘s controversial baby shower has taken an unexpected turn after two guests shared new details about what truly happened behind the scenes.

Their accounts offered a closer look at the event, which had already generated headlines weeks earlier when the adult content creator revealed plans to combine a traditional baby shower with activities that left an interviewer visibly uncomfortable.

While much of the attention initially focused on Blue’s public comments, attendees are now describing the atmosphere on the day, how the event was organized, and what took place off camera.

Two attendees, adult creators Tommy Lee and Owain Laing, recently spoke to Us Weekly about their experience at the event.

According to Lee, the atmosphere throughout the day was positive despite the controversy.

“It was all high spirit,” he said. “Everyone was happy.”

Laing shared a similar view, describing the gathering as unusual but surprisingly structured.

“I really enjoyed it. I thought it was gonna be just absolutely f***ing bonkers,” he said. “But it was just very organized chaos, like it was really well organized down to the paperwork, down to everything.”

According to Laing, guests had to complete consent forms and provide STI test results before attending.

“We need to see your ID. We need to obviously prove who you are,” he explained.

Laing estimated that more than 100 people attended the event.

When asked whether he would take part in another Blue event, he did not hesitate.

“Hell yeah, I get along well with her,” he said.

Lee also spoke about Blue’s condition during the gathering, saying she appeared healthy and upbeat.

“She was really, really good,” he said. “She seemed really healthy, happy.”

According to Lee, Blue told him she felt financially secure.

“She’s kind of got the mindset, she’s made a lot of money — a hell of a lot of money out of it. … She goes, ‘I’ve got enough money to kind of make up for the mistakes if anything happens.’”

The attendant revealed that Blue kept getting tired due to her pregnancy

According to attendees, the event combined traditional baby shower elements with the controversial activities Blue has become infamous for.

Lee recalled several games organized for guests, including “diaper pong” and a challenge in which guests placed a napkin on a teddy bear while blindfolded.

At the same time, some attendees reportedly entered private rooms where intimate activities took place.

Blue had insisted that the event would include food, games, and more traditional baby shower activities alongside adult content.

According to Lee, the gathering lasted between five and six hours.

“She kept getting tired because she’s pregnant,” he said.

“Just because she was very tired — people sleeping with her, that was very extremely limited to who slept with her. Then she’d get tired, so she needed a break, having snacks, and then she’d be ready to go.”

Lee also revealed that he was paid a “high amount” to attend the event, although he did not disclose a specific figure.

Before guests began sharing behind-the-scenes details, the event had already drawn criticism for how Blue described it publicly.

As reported by Bored Panda, the adult content creator told presenter Shelagh Fogarty during a My appearance on Leading Britain’s Conversation that she wanted to turn her baby shower into what she described as a “go*den sh*wer.”

Blue said she intended to turn her baby shower into a different type of “shower” during the interview.

When Fogarty asked her to clarify what she meant, Blue replied, “It is exactly what you think it is.”

The presenter immediately admitted that the conversation was making her uncomfortable.

Blue nevertheless insisted the event would go ahead because it was her decision.

“Again, my body, this is what I’m choosing,” she said.

She also explained that she believed pregnancy was attractive to some people and wanted “to make the most” of the experience.

“It’ll be partly wholesome,” she said at the time, explaining that there would be food, games, and traditional baby shower activities alongside what she described as “other fluids.”

“All those men are just as disturbed as she is,” wrote one netizen

Officially opened in 1923, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is one of the most historically significant locations in Washington, D.C.

It is where Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963, and 100,000 anti-Vietnam War protesters gathered for the “March on the Pentagon” in 1967.

In April 2026, President Donald Trump announced a renovation project for the pool that ultimately cost $14.2 million.

After it was refilled with water and reopened in early June, before-and-after photos of the Reflecting Pool began circulating on social media. Many argued that the result was not sufficiently distinguishable to justify the amount spent.

“The only difference I see is camera quality,” one user said.

In April, Donald Trump revealed that a friend from Germany visited the Reflecting Pool and found it “filthy” and “dirty,” labeling the water “disgusting-looking,” which prompted him to start the renovations.

Trump initially said it would cost only $1.8 million, but the Interior Department’s latest invoice shows it ended up costing $14.2 million.

In May 2026, Trump argued that, despite the $12 million cost increase, he was still getting it done “for a fraction” of what his predecessors spent.

According to a federal contract record, the Obama administration undertook a $35.3 million repair and rehabilitation project for the pool in 2010-2012.

In a June press conference, days after the pool’s reopening, Trump claimed that it was “always leaking” and alleged that it never worked properly since its creation more than 100 years ago:

“It’s pretty amazing what’s happened and, you know, I hate to say it won’t leak, but it won’t leak. Because we use a material that doesn’t allow leaks.”

However, photos of the pool’s new look failed to impress netizens, many of whom could barely tell the difference between the before and after snaps.

“Looking at those photos, Trump has even improved the color of the grass and the trees,” one netizen joked, suggesting that the “after” photo was doctored.

Another said, “They painted the sky background too to the same dark blue color?”

“You can see it’s been filtered simply by the background sky,” a third speculated. A fourth commented, “As a long-time Photoshop user, I see two manipulated images.”

Visitors have already spotted algae in the “American Flag Blue” pool

Over the last few weeks, Donald Trump heavily promoted the renovation project, promising a “beautiful” new look painted in a new shade of blue.

In an Oval Office press conference on June 11, Trump admitted that he wanted a lighter turquoise color, “like in the Bahamas.” But Atlantic Industrial Coatings, the company appointed for the job, allegedly suggested “American Flag Blue.”

A few citizens who have already visited the pool have helped everyone else get a sense of what it looks like in real life.

“I needed to come down to see if it was actually reflecting, and it wasn’t bright blue. And I’m impressed, to be honest. It reflects beautifully,” said Lara Harvey from Bethesda, Maryland, as per CNN. “I was expecting a swimming pool. I was expecting swimming pool blue, but I’m really surprised.”

Kyra Brown, a Washington, D.C. resident, was skeptical about whether the renovations were necessary: “It doesn’t look that much different, honestly, to me.”

Marcus Tate from Alexandria was among the many who spotted visible algae already visible from the water’s edge.

“What you are seeing is residual algae from the supply lines, which have been sitting dormant for eight weeks while construction has been taking place,” Interior Department’s communications director Kate Martin addressed the issue in a statement.

“It’s part of the normal startup process. We are removing the algae, and the nanobubblers will maintain the pool and keep it algae-free,” she said, adding that the pool now has a “state-of-the-art ozone nanobubbler filtration system” funded by the National Park Service.

A “Trump Promenade” has been proposed as the next Washington, D.C. project

President Donald Trump wants to do more with the National Mall.

At Thursday’s press conference, he announced that his next Washington construction project would be a pedestrian bridge connecting the area to the Potomac River beyond.

The walkway would flank the Lincoln Memorial and bypass a pair of public roadways to take visitors to the river, Trump and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said.

“It’s a beautiful project, and it’s going to take the Lincoln Memorial right down to the Potomac,” Trump offered, revealing that a name for the bridge is yet to be determined.

“They want to call it the ‘Trump Promenade,’ but I don’t know if I want to do that,” he said.

Bergum added that the goal of this project is to make it easier for tourists to navigate the heart of Washington, D.C.

Trump also said that he was planning to restore the “main entry” of the Lincoln Memorial, claiming that the monument’s “front was supposed to be the back, the back was supposed to be the front.”

Experts have expressed confusion over Trump’s statement.

“What a mess,” said Caren Yglesias, an architect and professor of architecture at the University of Maryland. “Look up the McMillan Plan (planning document for the National Mall), and you’ll see many different elements that were not built.”
