“I felt used and violated”

Earlier this month, Stephen Bear was given 21 months in prison after being found guilty on two counts of disclosing private sexual images of ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison.

He uploaded a CCTV video of Georgia and himself having sex in his garden to OnlyFans without her permission.

The 28-year-old Love Island star told Chelmsford Crown Court that she did not know she was being recorded when having consensual sex with Bear.

In a recent interview with The Sun, Harrison opened up about how she feels following Bear’s sentencing and how it’s affected her.

She said: “On the day it was taken, Bear told me there had been cameras I wasn’t aware of. He acted like it was an accident.”

She told the paper that she later saw him sending the footage to his friends stating: “Then someone sent me a recording of it from America.

“Then I knew it had been spread not just in the UK, but globally.

“For months, my state of mind was really not good. From the moment I heard he was showing people I felt completely out of control.

“I felt used and violated.”

Georgia went on to explain that she logged into Bear’s OnlyFans account and saw a screenshot of him on top of her.

She said: “He put the caption as something along the lines of, ‘Sign up now for 50% off to see me f***ing this b***h in my garden’.

“It made me feel so violated.

“All I’ve ever done was be good to him as a friend and as more.”

Georgia opened up and said she’s planning to sue Stephen Bear over the loss of earnings she’s experienced because of this ordeal.

She said: “I’ve gone through two years of being dropped by every brand who ever worked with me.

“My career was thriving prior to it.”

Harrison will dive deeper into her story on a documentary called Revenge Porn: Georgia vs Bear that’s to air on ITV2 on March 20th.

She said: “There will be conversations and voice notes revealed between me and Bear where he denied it was me and denied he had released it.

“It shows just how heartless he was.”
