Australians were left outraged after adult content creator Annie Knight, who was dubbed "Australia’s most sexually active woman," filmed a provocative stunt at Bondi Beach.
Knight, 28, alongside British adult content creator Arabella Mia, was seen promoting their new reality series called Spicy Summer, which is set to air next month.
The two women, who were wearing matching bikinis adorned with chili prints, denim mini skirts, and black cowboy hats, were recruiting potential men for their show by handing out flyers, which featured a photo of them, a date, and phone number, alongside the message: “Bondi Beach: United Nations. We want one backpacker from every country to join us in our dorm room.”
The stunt quickly sparked backlash on social media, with many calling out the pair's inappropriate behavior.
"So disgusting, did anybody else see these two girls handing out flyers trying to find backpackers from different countries to sleep with together? There was one under my windscreen, and they had TV cameras filming them for some kind of reality program. This isn’t how Bondi should be getting portrayed," one user on Facebook said.
"I don’t know, it all seems a bit desperate now," another person shared, while a third told Knight: "You should see a specialist to get some help."
Knight’s Controversial Past
The Australian star has gained notoriety for her explicit content and over-the-top stunts. Earlier this year, she filmed herself engaging in sex with 583 men in just six hours.
“Doing 583 in a day is quite a lot, so I was a little bit worried that I was gonna really struggle with it, because the most I've done before that was 24 in a day,” she said after completing the challenge. “But it was honestly fine. I was shocked by how easy it was.”
“You just get so many no-shows, and I'm used to that, so I'd kind of allowed that buffer, just in case,” she continued. “So, obviously, saying 200 and then getting 583, I was very pleasantly surprised, and also very organized for it as well. We were prepared.”
One no-show that caused a bit of a problem for the OnlyFans star was her fluffer, the person who gets the participants ready, but still, she was able to “pivot".
“I ended up doing a lot more work than I sort of was expecting,” she said. “My jaw was very sore by the end of the day.”
A Defiant Response
This latest stunt at Bondi Beach is only the most recent in a string of controversial actions for the content creator, who was known to party with Spring Break and Schoolies students and was forced to flee Fiji after her visa was revoked when it was revealed that she was filming adult videos during her visit.
Despite the widespread backlash, both Knight and Mia have defended their actions. Mia, who is currently in Australia filming Spicy Summer, explained that the stunt was intended to create "positive news" in light of the negativity surrounding global issues like war and division.
Knight echoed this to News.com.au: "We tend not to look much at all the negativity. Everything is above board, and we’re looking to bring people together... There’s enough bad news in the world this should be a good news story given all the heaviness around at the moment.”
