Georgia Harrison details how ‘possessed’ Stephen Bear made sure they were ‘in shot of his CCTV’ while secretly filming revenge porn: ‘The sex was more dramatic and lasted longer’

Georgia Harrison has shed light on the fateful day she accepted her ex Stephen Bear’s invite to come to his house, which led to her revenge porn hell. 

On August 2, 2020, the reality star duo had sex in his garden, which Bear, 33, secretly filmed on his home CCTV. He went on to leak the footage online and make £2k from selling the clip. 

After Ms Harrison, 28, reported her ex, who she met during stints on reality TV, to the police, she endured a horrific trial in March this year and he was imprisoned for 21 months.

In an interview with The Guardian, Ms Harrison spoke about the day and revealed that with hindsight she realised the ways he was manipulating their sex to ensure they were in shot of the cameras: ‘[The sex] was more dramatic and lasted longer.’

She went on to discuss the pain of the trial – during which the incarcerated star pleaded not guilty – saying: ‘The Bear I first met was funny and cheeky, but also really charming – he could be kind. That person in court seemed possessed.’

After moving in the same reality circles, Ms Harrison got to know Bear in October 2018, when they both starred on MTV reality show The Challenge. After hooking up during filming they parted ways before reuniting during the sequel. 

The pair were neighbours in their Essex area and Ms Harrison revealed that due to feeling lonely in lockdown she accepted his invite to come round in 2020, leading to their tequila-fuelled romp, after which he showed her the footage.  

Speaking about her reaction, she said: ‘I was upset and he seemed to understand. I never for a second thought he’d be stupid enough to send it to people…

‘I hoped he had some form of respect for me, but I also thought he wouldn’t want to ruin his entire career or end up in prison. I just didn’t think he was capable of what he was capable of.’

After the tape was leaked – something Ms Harrison learnt of from a fan based in the US – she went to the police, which led to the court case. 

During the trial, Bear poked fun at the case on social media, including posting an explicit video with his girlfriend alongside the words: ‘At least she knew she was being filmed’, and attended court in a rented Rolls Royce and walked with a cane. 

Speaking about his behaviour both in and out of court, Ms Harrison said: ‘The Bear I first met was funny and cheeky, but also really charming – he could be kind. That person in court seemed possessed…

‘I feel like every show he went on, he was praised for being “the villain” – and the worse he was, the more attention he got. At some point, the lines blurred. That role took over. [A reality TV monster] is how it seemed.’

Ms Harrison has spoken of her ambition to become an MP after she launched a campaign calling for tougher measures against those who share explicit content without consent in the wake of Bear’s guilty verdict.

Revenge porn was criminalised in 2015 but until June this year prosecutors had to prove an intent to cause humiliation or distress. This clause has now been removed.

On moving into politics, Ms Harrison told The Sun: ‘I had serious conversations with Labour MPs about if I could run for Essex, and they said it would be possible…

‘They told me to go away and think about it. They said if I was being serious about running for an MP it is something that they would support me with…

‘I think also for little girls growing up seeing someone like me running for an MP would be quite inspiring. We need more normal people going into politics.’

After walking the red carpet at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards last week, Ms Harrison was presented with the Activist award and took to the podium where she admitted it felt ‘magical’ to be the recipient.

She told the audience: ‘It feels so magical to be standing here today accepting this award after what has been such a tough journey for me over the past few years.

‘For those of you that aren’t aware of my story I was a victim of image based sexual abuse and voyeurism which resulted in over 10 million people viewing sexually explicit content of me without my permission.

‘After seeking help from the authorities and waving my anonymity I went on to successfully convict my perpetrator and eventually use my experience to make an amendment to the Image based sexual abuse law meaning future victims will find it far easier to also have a successful court case.

‘I cannot describe the amount of support and solidarity I have found through other women along my journey and hearing their personal stories really highlighted to me just how much needs to be done to help protect women and girls across the UK.’
