Georgia Harrison Speaks Out As Stephen Bear Returns To Jail For Restraining Order Breach

Stephen Bear’s Return to Prison

Reality TV personality Georgia Harrison has issued a public statement following the return of Stephen Bear to prison. Bear, who gained notoriety for sharing a private video of the two without her consent, is set to serve a 16-month sentence after breaching a restraining order that barred him from posting about her online. The ruling came down at Chelmsford Crown Court on August 6, where Bear, 36, was taken into custody and informed he'll need to serve at least eight months before any chance of release.

The New Restraining Order

Alongside the jail sentence, Bear faces a new indefinite restraining order. This follows his repeated posts about Harrison in 2025, during her pregnancy, despite the initial order laid down in 2023. These actions not only disregarded the law but also heightened the drama surrounding their legal battles. Harrison, in her statement, emphasized the importance of her case being treated as a serious crime, not just tabloid fodder, appreciating the support she received from Essex Police.

“Essex Police took me seriously when so many women in my position are overlooked. They treated this as the serious crime it is – not a celebrity story.”

Online Campaigns and Legal Fallout

After a brief release in early 2024, Bear launched a social media tirade, alleging a conspiracy against him. His posts, which often included defamatory images and statements about Harrison, attracted widespread attention and were viewed millions of times. Harrison testified in court about the fear and anxiety she suffered due to Bear's online actions. Judge Christopher Morgan criticized Bear’s intentions, stating that his posts in 2025 were aimed at causing maximum harm to Harrison, and reminded him that his claims were unfounded and malicious.
