Georgia Harrison Speaks Out On Finally Having Justice After Guilty Verdict | This Morning

It's lovely to see you and thank you for coming. I know, I mean, it's when you see things like that. It's a different question than the one I was going to ask you the first time. What attracted you to him? Honestly, his sense of humor and we first got together on a TV show in Namibia, so we were living together for eight weeks in the desert and there weren't many options, but I also guess that regardless of what someone is like, you never think that will be lowered so much. as low as what it

finally

did to you like how can you not predict that someone will behave that way um how do you feel because

this

has been a long time coming

this

is not an easy journey it's not a well-trodden journey because This hasn't been illegal for long time, if you like, this is a relatively new thing that you're dealing with, how do you feel now that you've come out the other side and he's convicted and he's behind bars?

I want to say, first of all, I'm very grateful. It wasn't until recently that I realized how difficult it is to get a conviction for this type of crime and it shouldn't be because it is a very painful crime, but I am relieved because I feel like the right thing was done. and although it was really painful to have to go through what I went through, I think it's creating some kind of change in society and I can feel some joy in that, yes, you gave up your right to anonymity for this, but with a crime like this . there is no anonymity, you are named, you are visible, there is literally nothing you can do about it, yes, and a lot of people praise me for waving my anonymity and I am very grateful and I am aware that it was a brave thing to do, but like you said it Everyone I knew, who I really cared about and loved, was already gone, you know, my family, ex-partners, ex-colleagues, you know, at one point I felt like the postman probably knew.

I felt like everyone I cared about would find out. no and so My anonymity dissipated at that point and it made sense to take a stand, so going back to 2020, right at the beginning of this, when you realized this video was on the internet, I mean, there are so many layers of betrayal that they are filming you in the first one. place and share that video about what's going on and then eventually upload it and capitalize on it, see that, what impact that had on you psychologically physically. I think psychologically it really affects your self-esteem. You are in a moment of what you think is love with someone who you have known for a long time and who you really trust and really the whole time he was

having

sex with you to put a monetary stamp on you and sell you on the Internet and that really affects the way that you value yourself, I think, and after that I was in a stage of grieving.

I was at home crying a lot. I was drinking too much. My diet was probably all over the place and I ended up coming out. spots all over my face. I was actually hospitalized over Christmas because I had a CIS flare up in my ovary and at first I just deteriorated physically. I really did and I think people don't realize it's been two and a half years, but if I was sitting here two years ago, honestly, it would be a disaster, yeah, and what did you think of that reaction in court when you got there? in a Rolls-Royce, you know, in extravagant clothes singing to laughing journalists, what did you think of that?

Because I mean, I believe it. One judge said he had never seen such a lack of remorse, it was very disrespectful and I think many police officers even said that in their 30 year career they had never seen someone commit an act like that. and they deal with murderers, they deal with all kinds of people and part of it was just offensive and painful to watch, but then another part of it was a little bit like there you go, world, this is him and this is what I've been dealing with. so that at least everyone can see it, part of the healing with things like this is being heard and believed and

having

that conviction and hearing the fact that he is

guilty

, how important that was to you and how different life would have been if it would have been like that. not having happened well, that was it for me realistically, I don't think I allowed myself to understand how much was at stake until now and in hindsight if he had been innocent he would have lost everything.

They silenced me for two years. I would have been silenced for the rest of my life and realistically written off because everyone would have believed I had something to do with that horrible video. What effect does it have because Holly mentioned you know, mentally physically? I mean, you have a career and So what effect has that had on your career? It's been disruptive and honestly a lot of brands dropped me and it was heartbreaking to know that when you work with brands you build a relationship with these people, they know you. and it was heartbreaking to be dropped by so many people who I thought would support me.

I haven't worked in television since it happened and I always wanted to be a presenter. I was doing reality shows regularly and it really affected my place in everyone. of these programs and if you compare my finances to before it happened and after, the drop is drastic and it really shows on paper, so you have made the document entry and that was really important because it not only gave you that voice that you have been silenced for two and a half years but it also gave voices to other women, other women who have had a similar experience to yours, yes, so the documentary will be out on Monday at 10 p.m. on itv2 and first you will see my story in a way that no one could imagine.

I've been documenting a lot over the last while. There are things that couldn't be said before the trial and conviction, but now there are things that can be said afterward, yes, and it was very difficult to hold back all that time when I had to see things on their social media channels making accusations about me. I held back for two years and you'll see everything, but I can also meet other victims. I know other charities and vengeful organizations and we really delve into you, you know this crime, the effect it has on people and how it is letting people down in society.

Would the law be strengthened? Do you think the law should be strengthened? I think I want to campaign honestly to get you out of the law that you must have intended to cause distress because I think for anyone, if you share explicit images or videos of someone without their permission, it should be common sense, it will cause distress, so which I hope I can help support, not your effort to campaign to change the laws, um, well done, I'm glad you're sitting here now, you seem a lot stronger that's for sure, it's obvious you know you lit a fire in your stomach by doing this to move on and help other people and I wish you good luck with that thank you thank you very much the revenge porn documentary Georgia versus oso as you said on Monday the 10th itv2 and itbx
