A U.K. court has ordered jailed reality TV star Stephen Bear to pay £207,900 in damages to ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison.
In March, the Chelmsford Crown Court found Bear guilty of voyeurism and disclosing private, sexual photographs and films with the intent to cause distress after CCTV footage of him having sex with his then girlfriend, “Love Island” star Harrison, was uploaded to the OnlyFans site. Bear was sentenced to 21 months in prison.
Bear is a former “Ex on the Beach” contestant and “Celebrity Big Brother” winner.
Harrison, who is also known for her appearances on “The Only Way Is Essex” and “Olivia Meets Her Match,” waived her right to anonymity for the court case.
The damages, including special damages, and an injunction, were awarded in a ruling at the High Court in London on Wednesday. This is one of the highest amounts to be awarded in an image abuse case...

Carl Lentz's alleged mistress is divulging details about their "toxic" relationship. Ranin Karim, who claims she and the Hillsong Church founder had a months-long affair in 2020, discussed the scandal on the March 31 episode of MTV's Ex on the Beach.

On the show, ten singles head to an island looking for love, unaware that their exes will also be showing up. Lentz, as you have probably guessed, is not the ex meeting Karim in paradise.

For 37 seasons and counting, MTV’s “The Challenge” — formerly known as “Real World/Road Rules Challenge” — has been one of the most consistent reality competition shows on all of TV. It is full of complicated physical challenges, of course, but it also comes with plenty of interpersonal drama between players.
Ahead of the show’s 500th episode, Variety ranks the Top 20 seasons so far, plus looks back at the show that started it all.
Honorable Mention: Road Rules: All Stars

Reality actor Chris Pearson, who appeared in Season 1 of MTV’s Ex on the Beach, died on early Sunday morning from an alleged stabbing.
A representative from the Los Angeles Police Department confirms a 25-year-old male named Christopher Westley Pearson was discovered at the 22100 block of Erwin Street at 2:09 a.m. who “became involved in a verbal argument with the suspect (no description given). During the argument, the suspect produced a weapon and stabbed the victim. The victim was transported by Lafd to a local hospital where he was later pronounced deceased. The suspect fled to an unknown location.”
A GoFundMe account opened earlier today describes Pearson’s death as being from “a tragic encounter.”
“Chris was the most determined person there could ever be,” the post reads. “He had a dream, set a goal & didn’t stop until he achieved that goal. It didn’t matter what or...

Another big battle for a lot of money will get underway on MTV very soon.
The cabler has announced The Challenge: Double Agents -- the 36th season -- will hit the air December 9.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched the finale of “The Challenge: Total Madness.”
As the contestants on “The Challenge: Total Madness” prepared for their final competition, Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio toasted the group by telling them that out of all of the seasons of the MTV reality competition of which he was a part — and there were a lot, this being a record 20th — “this is hands down mentally, spiritually, emotionally the most draining experience I have ever been through.”
With its post-apocalyptic theme and bunker-style housing arrangements, “Total Madness” set out to make it feel like the world had ended and there was no one left but those competing for the million-dollar prize. And that was still before the group had to trek through miles of snow at 9,000 feet of elevation in the Austrian alps, carrying logs, building fires, solving puzzles and climbing steep terrain.

Forget Ex on the Beach, it's all about Ex on the Bach. Viewers were riveted (and cringing) during Monday night's episode of The Bachelor when contestant Victoria Fuller walked hand-in-hand with Peter Weber to what was supposed to be a fun concert during their one-on-one only to find her ex-boyfriend Chase Rice standing on the stage. Looking like a deer in headlights and clearly unsure of what to do, Victoria F. awkwardly danced with and kissed Peter as her country singer ex serenaded them. Talk about uncomfortable. While it was definitely one of the most dramatic blasts from the pasts Bachelor Nation has seen, it was far from the first, as the franchise has a long history of contestants' exes popping up to...

Ex on the Beach is a reality TV show that is being broadcast on MTV. Its premise is a simple and straightforward one. In short, each season sees a collection of single men and women being brought together to a paradisaical location for a summer holiday where they hope to find love. However, each season sees their experiences being interrupted by their exes, who show up to either seek revenge or to seek to reconcile. Unsurprisingly, this results in a lot of drama, which presumably explains how Ex on the Beach has managed to have nine seasons and counting. There

A few years ago, the joke among network TV execs was that “flat is the new up” — meaning that you could tout victory if your network had managed to at least hold steady and not lose more viewers.
Those were innocent times. Now, with so many channels slipping year-to-year by double digits, perhaps “single digit declines are the new up” should now be the industry mantra. In 2018, TV strategists who are used to erosion were nonetheless stunned by how quickly younger viewers are disappearing from linear TV. “We’re seeing real accelerated declines in live viewing,” one research exec told IndieWire. “People are changing their behavior. Maybe people are watching more efficiently.” Nielsen doesn’t report on the people watching video on mobile phones, iPads and laptops, but there’s a sense that viewers are using different platforms to time shift their viewing, the way they used to use DVRs.

We recently reported that Jessie Godderz from Big Brother seasons 10 and 11 dropped a new music video. Now, we've got another former houseguest doing the exact same thing! We got the tip off from Usmagazine.com that former Big Brother season 18 castmember Jozea Flores has gotten in on the music video release action, and he included a couple of other reality stars in his video. I just got through watching it, and it has this very weird undertone to it. Jozea is seen dancing like a stripper throughout the entire video. He's also rapping.
