EXCLUSIVE
A teenage influencer and OnlyFans star has been warned she could face jail time after pleading guilty to four times driving over the legal limit.
Paris Ow-Yang, 18, crashed her black Mercedes worth $50,000 into another red Mercedes worth $150,000 parked in Point Piper in Sydney’s east at 8.45pm on October 18, the court heard on Friday .
The crash happened after Ow-Yang got drunk for nine hours to drown her “pain and agony” following a break-up with nightclub baron Julian Tobias, Downing Center Local Court was told.
Ow-Yang, who joined OnlyFans when she was 18, started at Meat & Co around noon on the day in question and later drank at a Chinese restaurant and at a friend’s house.
She later blew 0.213 and police found that the P2 license holder had no P license plates on her car.
Ow-Yang, who started dating 44-year-old Tobias at the age of 17, started drinking white wine at 3pm on October 18, after an earlier period of partying at her parents’ estate in the Southern Highlands and on Bali.

While standing before Magistrate Rodney Brender, Ms Ow-Yang was warned that her behavior had ‘endangered you and other people on the road’.
His Honor told Ms Ow-Yang that she could face a prison sentence of 18 months and that ‘where moral culpability is increased by aggravating factors, anything short of imprisonment is generally inappropriate.
“If it happens again… (yes), prison.”
Ow-Yang arrived at the court on Friday, wearing a powder blue jacket, matching heels and white trousers and carrying a Chloe Bag. She was accompanied by her father, neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Ow-Yang.
Her attorney, Michael Bowe, pleaded guilty to drunk driving on her behalf in court.

Ow-Yang arrived at the court on Friday, wearing a powder blue jacket, matching heels and white trousers and carrying a Chloe Bag. She was accompanied by her father, neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Ow-Yang.
Her attorney, Michael Bowe, pleaded guilty to drunk driving on her behalf in court.
He told the court that Ow-Yang – who previously said she earns a significant income from her OnlyFans page – would now have to pay for the two damaged vehicles.

Mr Bowe said the crash was the result of a “perfect storm” after Ow-Yang “fell out of control” with drinking when “she couldn’t deal with… the breakdown” of her romance.
She was “drowning herself in alcohol,” Bowe told the court.
“She was burying herself in her own depression and problems, hoping alcohol would mask the pain and hurt,” Bowe said.
Police records show that after her arrest and while in police custody, Ow-Yang “made verbal comments about wanting to die and having no purpose in life.”
Mr Bowe told the magistrate that Ow-Yang had completed a road traffic offenders program and had ‘not consumed alcohol for at least three weeks’.

Ow-Yang graduated last year from the exclusive Frensham College in the NSW Southern Highlands, a $33,000-a-year women’s boarding school.
She has a significant presence on OnlyFans, attracting 40,000 views per post on the subscription adult content site.
She claims her account was so lucrative that she was able to drop out of college and buy a house after just two months.
Her parents, who are divorced according to court records, own several luxury properties in NSW. They put their 14.5-acre Bowral family weekender up for sale last month for $12 million.
Chateau Blondel features a large 18th-century style mansion, panoramic views of the adjacent vineyards and is decked out in luxurious furnishings.
Magistrate Brender convicted Ow-Yang and sentenced her to a two-year community corrections order.
He disqualified her driving license for nine months, but a mandatory 24-month ban had been installed.
She was fined $1000.
