Stephen Bear flees his home after note saying ‘die you c***’ is posted through his door after revenge porn scandal
STEPHEN Bear fled his home after a note saying “die you c***” was shoved through his door following his revenge porn arrest.
The 31-year-old’s panic unfolded on his YouTube video series, Life of Bear, which was uploaded yesterday.
Entering his home, the reality TV star had been discussing damage done to his front door when he found the A4 piece of paper on the ground by his letterbox.
Holding up the note, which was made with letters cut from newspaper and magazine articles, he said: “Look at this note.” It read: “die you c***”.
Fearing the worst, Bear then told his camera man to head towards his car quickly.
He said filled with worry: “Let’s go, quick, quick. Get in the car. Some f**king nutter. That’s a death threat.”
It’s not the first threatening note Bear has received in light of his arrest. He also had a ‘die you c*** note’ stuck to his windscreen when he returned to his car in a previous video.
Stephen appeared to break coronavirus rules again on Sunday as he stepped out in Essex when he should have been quarantining at home.
The reality star returned to the UK from Dubai on January 15 and had 24 hours left of the mandatory 10-day quarantine period.
Bear looked relaxed as he left a property in Buckhurst Hill in shorts and a blue padded jacket and got into his Mercedes.
Government rules state those returning from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) must isolate for ten days – but a negative coronavirus test after five days will also end the isolation process.
Bear could have taken the latter option, however, was already been spotted shopping at M&S the day after arriving back in the UK.
A “significant acceleration” in infections being imported to the UK from Dubai led the Government to introduce the new quarantine rule.
In addition, Prime Minister Boris Johnson told the country they should stay home – and not make journeys unless absolutely necessary – during the current national lockdown.
Bear previously explained his apparent lack of quarantine by telling us: “Everyone else should stay at home and not go mns [M&S] and buy some food. They should sit at home and starve.”
Cops swooped on Bear after he touched down at Heathrow Airport from Dubai on January 15 – the day of his 31st birthday.
Last week, the reality TV star revealed his police “rap sheet” – saying he’s been charged with harassment, exposure, voyeurism and obstructing an officer.
His ex, Love Island star Georgia Harrison has insisted that Bear made a secret sex tape of her through his home’s CCTV system and has been showing the video to pals.
Bear has previously dismissed the allegations as “so silly” – but was hauled in for questioning as soon as he returned to the UK.
Stephen and Georgia enjoyed a short-lived romance in 2018 after meeting on MTV’s The Challenge. They then got back together in March last year when they attended a fitness retreat in Thailand.
Posting on Instagram in December when she first made the allegations, Georgia said: “So bear has cctv around his house he purposely got me in a position where he knew it would be on cctv quite a long time ago and after acted like he forgot the camera were there.”
Georgia added: “(As u do when u have cctv set up around private property going directly to your television and phone).”
“Firstly i had to give him the benefit of the doubt and hope he just would do the right thing, partly because i was ashamed and just wanted it to go away but tbh i have nothing to be ashamed about i was on private property with someone i had been with multiple times and trusted/was in love with.”
“However since being away I have met 2 more people he has shown and even seen a screen recording so I have no other choice but to go public about this situation not just for me but for anyone that has been round there no knowing they are being filmed.
“I feel hurt, I feel violated, I feel embarrassed but I also feel like my friends and followers will support me through this and I can’t stay silent on the matter any longer.

Bear said at the time he had spoken to Georgia, adding: “I don’t even want to talk about it – it’s so silly.
“I’ve spoken to the girl saying stop making up silly rumours. Everyone’s just got to calm down. People saying someone’s name for clout, it’s just dumb.”
Essex Police told The Sun: “A 31-year-old man from Loughton, who was arrested on suspicion of disclosing private sexual images or film without consent with intent to cause distress, voyeurism, harassment and obstructing a police officer, has been released on bail until 10 February.”
