Jailed Stephen Bear ‘DUMPED by fiancé Jessica Smith after branding their relationship “fake and toxic”‘ – after vowing to stand by the disgraced reality star
Stephen Bear has been dumped by fiancée Jessica Smith as he continues to serve his 21-month prison sentence.
The disgraced reality star, 33, was jailed in March after being found guilty of sharing a private video of him having sex with his ex Georgia Harrison to OnlyFans without consent and making £2,000 from it.
And according to The sun Despite previously vowing to stay with Stephen, model Jessica, 24, has ‘come to her senses’ and ended their ‘fake and toxic’ engagement.
A source told the publication: ‘It took me a while to realize it, but it was all fake and toxic with Stephen. I am better off without him and I look forward to moving on with my life.”
Stephen is reportedly heartbroken by the news and has repeatedly tried to call the busty beauty, but his calls went unanswered.

MailOnline has contacted Jessica’s representatives for comment.
Despite his conviction and sentence, Jessica previously vowed to stay by Bear’s side “through thick and thin.”
Last month the model was spotted leaving Bear’s home in Essex after being forced to sell his home following his revenge porn case.
He was ordered to pay out £207,000 in damages, one of the highest ever payouts, in breach of privacy concerns.
Bear shared the secret clip he recorded of Georgia with friends, ignoring her pleas to delete the video before it was published on his Onlyfans account.
Georgia, who waived her anonymity, has become a campaigner calling for tougher action against those who share explicit content without consent.
She told the High Court in July that the leaked video was her “worst nightmare”.
The High Court ruled that Bear must pay £207,900 in damages to Ms Harrison.

This is the largest amount that can be awarded in an image abuse case and one of the highest awards of all time in a privacy claim arising from a single action.
Ms Harrison said: ‘I couldn’t be more grateful to everyone who helped support my civil claim, which has finally been settled after almost three years.’
Master Victoria McCloud said in her ruling that it was a “gross act of violation by a man against a woman” through the use of the internet. The Evening Standard reports this.
She added: ‘It was consensual sex, but it was certainly not a consensual film, and it was a serious violation.’
She then lambasted Bear, who she said tricked Harrison by suggesting she was also responsible for the leaked video.
Commentators say he has largely ignored legal proceedings, although he has attempted to sell a property under his control in recent days.

Instead, Bear, who won Celebrity Big Brother in 2016, had used his fame to launch a porn career, which came to a halt in March after he was jailed, apparently to his surprise.
A source close to Bear said he was “completely unprepared” to be put behind bars, believing he would be spared a prison sentence if convicted.
Gerogia, 28, has regularly raised money for charities during her television career.
In April she attended an event at the St Giles Trust in London, which provides support to several at-risk groups, including services to help vulnerable women, and met Labor leader Sir Kier Starmer and shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper.
Ms Harrison told Sir Keir: ‘So many women have been let down by the justice system,’ saying there are loopholes allowing perpetrators to avoid conviction in cases of image-based sex crimes.
She added that social media and online platforms should be responsible for what is shared on their sites.
“These platforms need to be held accountable for what they allow to happen on their platforms to gain more users,” she said.
