Georgia Harrison accused Stephen Bear of illegally recording their sexual encounter
UK rookies Georgia Harrison of Love Island 3 fame and Shipwrecked star Stephen Bear quickly fell for each other during The Challenge: War of the Worlds (2018), even though he had a girlfriend at the time.
Wanting to pursue a relationship with Harrison, the Celebrity Big Brother winner ended things with his girlfriend.
However, he and the Love Island UK 3 star broke up several times before calling it quits for good in the summer of 2019 after Bear hooked up with another girl during their Thailand vacation.
A year after the trip, Harrison publicly accused her ex of secretly recording them having sex without her consent and showing the video to his friends. He responded to the claims insisting the footage in question involved a different woman.
Bear allegedly began selling the video on OnlyFans account
Following his response, Harrison noted she felt “hurt” and “stressed” by the situation in a tweet. She also uploaded a video to her Instagram Story calling her ex out and claimed she’s no longer “protecting” him. Additionally, The Challenge star admitted she believed Bear’s actions deserved jail time.
Harrison seemed ready to fight the situation in court if necessary as she also explained that she has proof that he has distributed the video to friends and uploaded it to platforms including OnlyFans and Pornhub to sell to his subscribers.
Additionally, the UK native posted screenshots of a conversation with Bear seemingly admitting to the video and claimed they had been together since their vacation, as he previously denied.
Harrison also reached out to the OnlyFans official account on social media and asked if they had guidelines preventing users from uploading recordings with non-consenting participants.
Bear arrested a month following revenge porn accusations
The company seemingly responded by disabling Bear’s OnlyFans account. Although he attempted to return with several new profiles, they were eventually taken down due to followers reporting it. The three-time Challenge star then took off to Dubai, where he vacationed for a few weeks.
Once he arrived at the airport in London on Jan. 15, police officers arrested Bear in connection with Harrison’s accusations.
In a statement released by the Essex Police, they took the 31-year-old into custody as they are investigating him for his involvement in “disclosing private sexual photographs or films without consent with the intent to cause distress, harassment, and obstructing a police officer.”
After a day of questioning, the Essex Police confirmed to Us Weekly that Bear posted bail, allowing him to return home until his court date on Feb. 10. The Challenge 36: Double Agents airs Wednesdays at 8/7 Central on MTV.
