Georgia Harrison almost died after Stephen Bear revenge porn leak
Ex-Love Island star Georgia Harrison was left devastated after Stephen Bear sold CCTV footage of them having sex.
But she also admitted to The Sun that the physical effects of the stress almost killed her.
The stress caused Georgia to develop cystic acne, which became infected and “nearly killed” her.
I was going into septic shock.
Georgia confessed: “I had acne come up all over my face. I ended up getting a cyst infection — the cyst eventually burst — and I was in the hospital from stress.
“They said my kidneys, my pelvis, and multiple organs were infected, and I was going into septic shock.”
Georgia also added that Stephen Bear has never apologised to her for selling the tape on Only Fans without her permission.
She shared: “It’s one thing to deny it, but to show absolutely no remorse, it makes no sense. It’s like my feelings don’t matter.”
Stephen Bear continues to deny the charges
Reality TV star Stephen Bear was eventually convicted of voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films.
He was also placed on the sex offender register for 10 years and was given a restraining order.
He pleaded not guilty, telling the jury that he had deleted the footage in August 2020 and had not sent it to others.
In his recent court appearance, after the sentence was handed down, he told the courtroom: “Have a good weekend everyone.”
He is now serving 21 months in prison at HMP Chelmsford, in Essex.

Georgia also hopes that the documentary will help her campaign, as she is campaigning for victims to longer have to “prove intent”.
