Georgia Harrison has opened up further on the horrific ordeal surrounding Stephen Bear and his revenge porn scandal, which has seen him locked behind bars for 21 months, admitting the situation "nearly killed her."
The brave former Love Island star has spoken out in length about it for the first time since the disgraced 33-year-old was sentenced earlier this month for selling CCTV images of the pair having sex in his garden on his OnlyFans without her consent.
Georgia, 28, has now said she nearly died fighting Stephen for two and a half years, and she has vowed to take him to the cleaners legally over destroying her career.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, she said: “I almost died.”
The reality star explained: “When it first happened, the physical effects on me were just horrific. I had acne come up all over my face. I ended up getting a cyst infection — the cyst eventually burst — and I was in hospital from stress.
“They said my kidneys, my pelvis, and multiple organs were infected, and I was going into septic shock.”
Georgia bravely opened up about how she got the strength to pick herself up and carry on, adding: “As much as this situation really did crush me two years ago, I can stand here strong now. There’s only good times to come from here.”
The 28-year-old went on to reveal the sickening moment she first saw secretly recorded footage of her having sex being sold online after logging into the former Celebrity Big Brother winner’s OnlyFans page [an X-rated subscription service] only to find “a screenshot of him on top of me in his garden”.
She said: “He put the caption as something along the lines of: ‘Sign up now for 50 per cent off to see me f***ing this b**ch 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.”
Bear was sentenced to 21 months on Friday, March 3 after he was found guilty of sharing the footage on OnlyFans without Georgia's consent, having been filmed on CCTV in his garden in 2020, claiming he raked in £40,000 over the post.
The vile Ex On The Beach star's sentence was handed down at Chelmsford Crown Court, with the jury finding he committed voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress.
But both Bear and his fiance Jessica Smith, 22, have slammed the justice system and said they don't feel he "had a fair trial".
Despite his conviction and sentencing, Jessica has vowed to remain at Bear's side "through thick and thin".
We recently reported he is allegedly a "broken man" who has been "crying for days" following his jail sentence according to new claims, with the disgraced reality star never imagining he would have been locked up.
A source close to Bear claimed he was "completely unprepared" for being thrown in jail, believing he would have been spared a prison sentence if convicted.
He is now believed to be on a plan for prisoners who are at risk of self-harm or suicide, which includes regular cell checks and a buddy system.
Meanwhile, The Sun revealed last week that Georgia was set to break her silence on her revenge porn hell in an emotional ITV documentary.
The reality TV star will attempt to process her horrific ordeal and meet a fellow victim of revenge porn.
