The latest to follow in their footsteps is 2017 islander Georgia Harrison, with her ITV two-parter, Georgia Harrison: Porn, Power and Profit. As with the best of these reality star fronted docs, Harrison has a personal connection. In 2020, her ex-boyfriend, TV personality Stephen Bear, uploaded a video of the couple having sex to his OnlyFans account. The footage was filmed without Harrison’s consent and quickly went viral.

The starting point for her documentary is the fact that despite Bear’s conviction and Harrison’s continued fight to remove her video from the internet, it persistently reappears without her consent – something she describes as “a game of whack-a-mole”. She takes a follow-the-money approach, focusing on “who’s doing this and what are they getting out of it?” She knows that Bear made £22,000 from the video, which he was court ordered to repay as well as paying Harrison compensation, but she wants to understand who is really making the big bucks in a $90bn industry.

Harrison doesn’t push back and question whether it is actually the very fact that they are non-consensual that might be the turn-on. And when she briefly speaks to the Financial Times journalist Patricia Nilsson, whose many years of work in this area have been groundbreaking, it is immediately clear that Harrison will only be able to scratch the surface.

It is eye-opening to see her visit a revenge porn helpline and learn that despite her efforts, her video and image is still available on around 90 websites, with a total of eight million views. She is also horrified to discover that her name is used as a clickbait search term to drive traffic to videos of other women, which may or may not be consensual.
‘Georgia Harrison: Porn, Power, Profit’ continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2
