Georgia Harrison slams jailed Stephen Bear for ‘fooling’ her into loving him

Georgia Harrison has condemned her ex-boyfriend Stephen Bear for profiting from her sex life after sharing and selling secretly filmed footage online.

The disgraced former TV personality is currently serving a 21-month prison sentence for voyeurism and two counts of ‘revenge porn’ after uploading images of the couple having sex to his subscription-based OnlyFans account, without their consent. .

The illicit filming took place at Bear’s home in Loughton, Essex, in 2020. It was CCTV footage taken in his garden.

Appearing on Thursday’s edition of This Morning, Harrison, 28, admitted she was duped into thinking the Celebrity Big Brother winner was in love with her before discovering he had managed to use her sex life for financial gain.

“Psychologically, it affects your self-esteem,” he told hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.

“You think you’re in love and the whole time they were having sex with you for monetary value, to sell on the Internet.”

Harrison previously claimed that the stress caused by Bear’s decision to post the explicit images nearly killed her after she developed a cyst on her ovary while abroad in Dubai.

Addressing the impact it had on her physical and mental health on Thursday, the former Love Island contestant admitted she was in “a state of pain.”

“I was at home, drinking too much, hospitalized with a cyst on my ovary,” she explained.

‘Psychically I deteriorated. People don’t realize it was two and a half years. Two years ago, sitting here, it would be a disaster.

Bear’s sentence, imposed at Chelmsford Crown Court on March 3, served as something of a precedent, but Harrison, who waived her right to anonymity during the trial, admits she was surprised by how difficult it was to obtain a conviction for revenge pornography.

She added: ‘I didn’t understand how much was at stake until now, had he been found not guilty. They would have canceled me because everyone would have thought I was part of that video.

It was revealed last week that Bear was left a “broken man”, and had been “crying for days” and was on suicide watch, with a source saying he never imagined he would be jailed.

A source close to Bear said he was “not prepared at all” to be behind bars, believing he would have avoided a prison sentence if convicted. It is claimed that he is now in a scheme for prisoners who are at risk of self-harm or suicide, which includes regular cell checks and a buddy system.

He is at his lowest point and has been crying for days. He never expected to be jailed and he is not ready for anything,” the source told The Sun.

“Regardless of what others think of him, he is a broken man right now and he feels terrible about putting his family through this.

“Her family members are very concerned about her well-being. It’s hard for them to see him suffer like this alone.

It has been a very difficult situation for Stephen’s loved ones. There is a lot of hate directed at Stephen and those close to him, but they will continue to support him until he finishes his sentence.”

Harrison recently revealed that the stress of the ordeal she went through nearly killed her.

speaking to SunHarrison said he was “thriving” before he saw the CCTV footage circulating online, but his career was “damaged”.

She said she developed a cyst on her ovary when she was in Dubai, which she says can happen to women when they’re “stressed out.”

“Honestly, I wanted to continue to leave without going to get help,” said Harrison, who also appeared on The Only Way is Essex.

‘My mom told me… ‘I know something is wrong… get up and go to the hospital now.’

Harrison added: “While I was in the car I started shaking and shaking and what I didn’t realize was that I was in shock and when I got to the hospital they said my kidneys, my pelvis and multiple of my organs were infected.

“I was actually going into septic shock and if I had stayed home one more night I would have died.”

An ovarian cyst, which are fluid-filled sacs, are common in women and usually don’t cause any symptoms, according to the NHS.

Harrison only discovered the images when she logged into Bear’s OnlyFans to find a screenshot of him on top of her.

She said: “She put the title as something like: ‘Sign up now for 50 per cent off to see me fucking this bitch in my garden.’

‘It made me feel so violated. All I’ve ever done is be nice to him as a friend and as something else.

The stress of the discovery caused Harrison’s hair to fall out on the cyst and septic shock, he said.

She now plans to sue Bear for ruining her career and talked about the moment she first found out the images were being sold online.

She added: ‘People don’t realize how much this damaged my career. I spent two years that all the brands that worked with me abandoned me.

“My career was thriving before that.”

Harrison will recall his horror in greater detail in his ITV2 documentary, the first trailer for which was released this week.

The show, which will air on March 20 at 10pm, will see Harrison meet other victims of revenge porn as he tries to process his experience.

She said the documentary will include voice notes and conversations with Bear in which he denies it was her in the video, as well as denying he shared it.
