STEPHEN Bear today claimed he is on Jobseeker’s Allowance as he faced Georgia Harrison at a hearing over a £22,000 sex tape payout.
The self-proclaimed “billionaire” also said he could pay Georgia £10-a-week due to his financial struggles.
Bear, 34, made the claim at a confiscation hearing to decide how much of the £22,305.46 he made from the leaked video he needs to pay back.
The hearing, which has now been adjourned until Friday, will also determine whether the money will be paid to Georgia or instead go to the courts.
Bear told Chelmsford Crown Court he had a question about a “payment plan”, adding: “All I can afford is £10 a week or something.
“I’m on Job Centre’s allowance at the moment.”
Georgia was supported by Anton Danyluk, who she coupled up with on Love Island All Stars last month, as she faced her vile ex today.
Bear who wore a Mexican Cartel top, punched the air and smirked as he left the court today.
It comes after a previous hearing was adjourned while Georgia was in South Africa filming Love Island All Stars.
Bear, who was jailed for 21 months over the sex tape shame, had indicated he “doesn’t want a single penny” to go to his ex-girlfriend.
The court was also told the self-proclaimed “billionaire” has just “£60,000 in a house and little else”.
He was accused of “dancing in the shadows” as prosecutor Andrew Bousfield said Bear has refused to give any evidence on his profits.
At the time the video was uploaded, he was “pretending to be a billionaire on his Twitter account” selling sexual content.
But Financial Investigator Laura Mackenzie, from Essex Police’s Economic Crime Unit, said: “He wasn’t a billionaire at all, no. His bank account was overdrawn.”
She told the court Bear charged $9.99 (£7.95) to view the video on his OnlyFans account, which had 1,061 subscribers.
He originally made £1,650.98 but this figure increased to £22,305.06 when his subscribers rose by 822 in the month before Georgia was made aware of the clip.
Bear was previously told to pay Georgia £207,000 in damages for the leak on a “grand scale” after she took him to the High Court in a separate civil case.
He was also slapped with an injunction preventing him from using the footage again.
Master Victoria McCloud said at the time Bear had “gaslighted” Georgia by trying to convince her she was responsible for sharing the clip.
The judge also slammed the shamed star for using the leak as a springboard for his own porn career before he was jailed.
She added: “Pornography is generally actually something done consensually. It was consensual sex but it certainly wasn’t consensual filming, and it was deeply violating.”
Georgia, who bravely waived her right to anonymity, said the leak was her “worst nightmare” and left her feeling “violated and used”.
Bear's missing 'billions'
THE Ex on the Beach star recently claimed he was skint after his prison release as he begged for a date from fans.
But Bear once boasted he made a fortune from various businesses and OnlyFans videos with his model ex-fiancée Jessica Smith.
In 2021, he even claimed he made “$1million” (£720,000) in just 12 hours after posting an explicit clip online.
But after he was jailed, it emerged his lifestyle was worlds away from the flashy image he portrayed on Instagram.
His eight companies have all fallen apart around him – with none making a profit.
Even the Rolls Royce the disgraced star used to show up in court each day was rented and his Rolex watches were fakes.
She said her life had “changed forever” and told how she has lost her “sense of self-respect and personal dignity”.
Georgia also revealed she felt “completely and utterly exploited, like he had hung me up naked on a wall for millions of people to see and there was nothing I could do about it”.
She had begged Bear not to share the footage after he showed it to her as it would “upset her greatly”.
She was later airdropped the 20 minute clip and discovered it was being offered for pay-per-view on OnlyFans.
Bear had advertised the clip: “Can’t wait to see me f**k in the garden.”
He was previously found guilty of voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private, sexual photographs and films.
Bear was released from prison in January after serving just ten months of his 21-month sentence.
