The disgraced Stephen Bear was jailed for 21 months last week on voyeurism and two charges of ‘revenge porn’ that netted him £2000.
He had shared a private video of himself having sex with his ex, former Love Island star Georgia Harrison, 28, via WhatsApp and OnlyFans without consent.
And a look inside Stephen’s real world is quite different from the illusion of a millionaire lifestyle he portrayed to his fans in which he bragged about a lavish vacation.
During the court proceedings, Stephen, 33, arrived in a suit and long fur coat in a Rolls-Royce and flaunted his OnlyFans career.
But in fact, he lived in a humble three-bedroom house in Essex, had eight failed businesses, and ran his only remaining business from his parents’ house.

Idiot: Stephen regularly appeared in court in a Rolls-Royce, but it was rented: last week he was jailed for 21 months for voyeurism and two charges of ‘revenge porn’ netting him £2000

His company is called Cubanlink Ltd and his parents Linda and Stephen’s home address in Walthamstow is listed as his registered office.
In addition, his Rolls-Royce was leased and his occupation is listed as a store clerk. And while there is no shame in that career choice, he is far from what he wants his followers to believe.
Stephen, who is engaged to Jessica Smith, was convicted following a trial at Chelmsford Crown Court with television personality Georgia for waiving his right to anonymity under the Sex Offenses Act, saying he felt compelled to to do it because a lot of people knew about the video.
Judge Christopher Morgan jailed Stephen for 21 months and gave him a restraining order not to contact Georgia.
As Stephen was led to the cells, the ruthless influencer was heard saying: “Good evening, enjoy all your weekends.”
The reality star has also been ordered to sign the sex offender registry and will be subject to 10-year reporting requirements.
After the sentencing, Georgia told reporters that she was “relieved” that it was over.
“Today’s sentence is a vindication of what I have been put through and sends a clear message that the police and the courts take this matter very seriously,” he added.
He is not a millionaire: his occupation is listed as a store clerk. And while there’s no shame in that career choice, he’s far from what he’d want his followers to believe.

“I want all the other victims of this crime to know that I stand in solidarity with them and have no regrets in giving up my anonymity.
“I hope this deters anyone from committing this type of crime and I hope anyone else who has been a victim of this gives them some form of justice.”
His ex, Charlotte Crosby, 32, said of her affair with Stephen: “It was not a good time.” There was a lot of heartbreak, but it taught me a lot.
The couple began dating in December 2016 after meeting on the set of her MTV show Just Tattoo Of Us.
They were said to have gone their separate ways, with Stephen describing Charlotte as the “right girl at the wrong time”, when she began filming Celebs Go Dating in January 2017.
Stephen’s ex, Charlotte Crosby, used to have a joint venture with him called His and Hers Enterprises Limited.
Charlotte was forced to petition the Superior Court of Business Justice and Property Courts to dissolve the company.
He failed to pay the £1,268 he owed to the company, which owed £30,366 to creditors.
Faking it: His company is called Cubanlink Ltd and the home address of his parents, Linda and Stephen, in Walthamstow, is listed as his registered office.
Georgia Harrison said of Stephen’s conviction: “I want all the other victims of this crime to know that I stand in solidarity with them and have no regrets in the least about renouncing my anonymity.”
