For the publication “Girls and Corpses,” Bonnie started her modeling career as a fetish model. She had previously won the Ms. Dead Indiana Beauty Pageant during the Days of the Dead Convention in Indianapolis. She then dabbled in the realm of pornography in the early months of 2012. She started stripping when she was 18 and went by the name “Dixie.” Then, the business Digital Sin contacted her with the offer to make two videos exclusively about her. The movies dominated the box office and were a big hit.
2014’s pornographic version of Cape Fear featured Bonnie during the filming of “Max Candy.” The “Bonnie Rotten Signature Collection,” which featured the Rotten Fantasy Fuck Doll, was released the next year, according to a press release from the Pipedream sex toy manufacturer. She attracted a lot of attention when she went topless in Times Square and on the metro in the same year. Bonnie has also been seen in music videos, such as Nick Jett’s “Let’s F**k” from the Los Angeles band Piece by Piece, which had its debut on Vimeo. She established “Mental Beauty, Inc.” as her own production business in 2014, using it to helm the movies “To the Core” and “Sisters of Anarchy.” In 2017, she created “Bonnie Rotten’s Best Kept Secrets,” a tattoo business, following her retirement from adult filmmaking.
