Stephen Bear has caused yet more outrage after setting up what appears to be an internet 'scam' to raise funds towards an implausible 30 metre high statue tribute in his honour.
The disgraced reality star, 35, was cancelled in 2023 when he was sentenced to 21 months imprisonment for sharing a sex tape of his Love Island ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison.
Since being freed from HMP Brixton last January after serving half of his sentence, he now makes a living as an adult content creator on X-rated subscription site OnlyFans, selling explicit videos of himself for $20 each.
While he no longer boasts the same amount of fans he had in his reality star heyday, the former Celebrity Big Brother winner still boasts 193,000 Instagram followers, where he encourages fans to subscribe to his podcast and various other outlets.
Bear - who claims to be a millionaire - shocked followers when he begged them to donate to a GoFundMe campaign for the implausible task of building the statue - which he claimed would rival Brazil's famed Christ The Redeemer.
He claimed to 'be a man of God' and said God had told him that he needed to 'bring luck' to the people of Brazil - where he is currently living with his girlfriend.

On his fundraising page, he penned: 'Hi, my name is Stephen Bear. I have been chosen from God to bring you good luck and positive energy.
'I am looking to build a statue in Brazil named 'Christ The Bear' I want Christ the Redeemer to have a twin brother.
'The statue I would like to build would be the exact same size and weight as Christ the Redeemer. I would find it disrespectful for my statue to be exactly the same, so my statue of 'Christ the Bear' would be made in a gold colour.
'Not real solid gold as that material would be too hot to touch in the Brazil climate. Everyone who would come to visit my statue in Brazil would get good luck.
'I would also be a tourist attraction for everyone around the world so I would be good for the economy. The local people will help construct 'Christ the Bear' so I will also create jobs.
'Donate what you can. As you know I am a man of the people so join me on my project to save the world. Stay cool baby.'
At the time of reporting, Bear had raised £20 of his £7,500 goal from three donations, one of them being himself after kicking off the fundraising with £5.
His followers were left in shock at the scheme, commenting on Instagram: 'You have hit rock bottom. Good'; 'Didn't you just win millions? Why do people need to fund this if you're so rich? Another day another scheme.';
'Bear you're playing a dangerous game brother you're good ppl but Jesus is a stretch ppl don't play about that'; 'Ain't nobody going to be investing in this you mug'.
While it seems impossible that even with funds Bear could erect a 30 metre high statue in Brazil, it is not clear if the fundraiser violates GoFundMe's rules.
Their policy states 'it is not permitted to lie or intentionally deceive donors on GoFundMe for financial or personal gain.'
MailOnline has contacted GoFundMe and Bear's representatives for comment.

Georgia Harrison was left with 'minus £7,000' from revenge porn legal battle with Stephen Bear
As well as causing outrage with his fundraising efforts, Bear also shocked when he mocked his revenge porn trial with Love Island star ex, Harrison.
In a YouTube video, Bear was answering questions from fans, with one being his opinion on revenge porn.
Imitating a cat meowing, Bear laughed: memek 'woo, spicy! We finally got a really juicy question, get your popcorn ready it's going to be a banger.'
He continued: 'So my opinion on revenge porn...' before launching into a pretend mimed rant but not speaking aloud.
In 2023, Bear, from Loughton, Essex, was jailed after a jury found him guilty of voyeurism and disclosing private, sexual photographs and films.
He was also ordered to pay the £22,305 that prosecutors estimated that he earned from illegally sharing the footage on OnlyFans.
Harrison, who waived her right to anonymity as she campaigned for stricter laws around revenge porn, told the Proceeds of Crime hearing at the time: 'I had to live in fear that this was going to come out and my family were going to know about it.
'It was just like the worst feeling you can ever possibly imagine. I felt violated, I felt embarrassed - I hated myself for a really long time.'
The criminal trial heard how Harrison and Bear had consensual sex at his home in Loughton but the Love Island star did not know they were being filmed nor consent to the film being shared.
Bear did not show any remorse for his crime, instead making the outlandish claim that his trial was 'fixed'.
In January, Bear revealed he had relocated to Brazil with his new 18-year-old girlfriend, boasting: 'The police can't catch me now'
In January, Bear revealed he had relocated to Brazil with his new 18-year-old girlfriend, boasting: 'The police can't catch me now.'
In a grim video shared from the beach, he bragged: 'Life's good. I thought I'd come on here guys and say I love you all, simple as that. I love you all.
'Stay true, because this year I'm fully active, I'm off licence. The police, they could still be after me, but I'm in Brazil. They can't catch me now. Catch me if you can.'
Swigging a beer, he added: 'I'm just chilling out, licence is finished, police is finished. I can be completely left alone, ready to enjoy my life now. All my conditions are just lifted. Now I can post on social media, that was the main condition, watch this space.'
Bear also boasted about being on the beach in Brazil with his much younger girlfriend at 3.40pm in the afternoon.
Panning the camera around to his girlfriend, he said: 'I'm in Brazil, I don't know if you've heard. This is my 18-year-old Latina girlfriend, say hello baby.
'We just chilling, I got eight music videos I got to shoot while im in Brazil. Thinking of looking at some property while I'm over here.'
Blowing a kiss to the camera, he added: 'As they say in Brazil, te amo, ciao. That means I love you, goodbye.'
