Just two weeks ago, Grace shared her podcast episode of an interview with controversial OnlyFans star Bonnie Blue on the podcast – adult content creator who made headlines for bedding 100 men in a day. She also opened up about going around universities during Freshers Week with the aim of sleeping with as many students as possible before uploading the X-rated video to her OnlyFans account.

The interview quickly went viral, and viewers were quick to criticize the guest’s tone and choices, with many deeming the topic “harmful” to her audience of young women and risking “glorification” of the performers. Sun reports that one user commented: “Her audience is 13-20 year old girls. Young and vulnerable. This is not the message young women need to hear. We need to start deplatforming.”

Another viewer added: “GC Barry agreed with everything Bonnie said and it’s sickening. What was said is disturbing and has nothing to do with feminism. The glorification of (sex work) has put girls and young women in serious danger.” Another user wrote: “Gk Barry when Bonnie Blue eats on her pod and AGREES with the noxious x*** she said is beyond disappointing. Do better, child.”

In one particularly controversial viral moment from the episode, adult content creator Bonnie opened up about sleeping with her father and son, saying: “The first time my son saw me with his dad, I thought he was going to talk me out of it, but he didn’t . , he was jealous and wanted to join.”

Eagle-eyed TikTok users have since noticed the missing videos, with one user wrote Grace: “Now she’s deleted the video from the Saving Grace TikTok account without even acknowledging the damage she caused… I’m so disappointed in her.”

In an exclusive interview with OK! Grace recently opened up about how her rise to social media fame has improved her mental health and anxietysaying: “When I first started this journey I didn’t even get on public transport by myself…it really made me a lot more independent and confident. It’s all pretty surreal.”
