Georgia Harrison was "crippled by shame" after telling her father about her leaked sex tape.
Georgia Harrison has opened up on the horrific experience
The former 'Love Island' star was secretly filmed having sex with Stephen Bear - who was found guilty this week of voyeurism and disclosing private, sexual photographs and film - in 2020, and her "ability to trust" hasn't been the same after the footage was shared on OnlyFans.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, she said: "I was crippled by shame and embarrassment when the video was leaked. I was used in such a terrible way. It decimated my self-worth and my ability to trust.
"When I first realised the video was out there for everyone to see, my first thought was, 'How am I going to tell my dad?'
"Imagine how embarrassing it is for my dad knowing that all of his friends are aware that there is this really explicit video of his daughter out there."
The 28-year-old star also discussed the impact the leak has had on her family, with someone "accidentally" sending the video to her uncle.
She added: "A boy even accidentally sent it to my uncle without realising we were related. I have little brothers and sisters who were all in school at the time.
"They have had to deal with people bringing it up with them, calling me names. People were trying to forward it on social media to them.
"It has really affected their lives as well - it wasn't just mine that was ruined."
Georgia - who was living in Dubai at the time - recalled feeling "ill through the stress", and she was "sobbing herself to sleep at night".
She said: "Everyone I knew was talking about it. I walked into the gym and it fell silent. I asked who had seen it and all of these people put up their hands.
"By this time I realised it was out of my control and there was no way I could stop this video from spreading. That is when I spoke out on Instagram and called the police.
"Everyone had seen it, my family, my friends, people I had worked with. Total strangers around the world had seen this video of me. I was trying to live a normal life and go out but I would end up sobbing myself to sleep at night."
Bear and Georgia were captured on CCTV footage in his garden in Essex in August 2020.
Bear - who had denied the charges - has been bailed until January 31st, when he will return to the court for sentencing.
Following the verdicts, he said: "In my opinion from the very beginning it was never a fair trial, what the press said against me. I was fighting a losing battle and it is what it is."
Judge Christopher Morgan said: "Thank you for that observation."
