Twitter blasted for failing to take down Stephen Bear’s ‘disturbing’ sex video
TWITTER is under fire for failing to take down a sex video posted by reality TV star Stephen Bear.
The 2016 Celebrity Big Brother winner tweeted footage of girlfriend Jessica Smith performing a sex act on him.
But charities hit out at Bear’s behaviour in the 14-second shower video.
Richinda Taylor, of EVA Women’s Aid, said: “There appears to be force used and the message is that it’s OK to treat women in this way. It is not OK.”
And actress Dylan Morris posted: “Fetishising lack of consent?… this is disturbing.”
Jamie Gillies, of the charity CARE, which campaigns for tighter controls on sexual social media content, said: “It’s deeply disturbing the clip is still viewable on Twitter.
“Sadly though, this is not surprising. Social media platforms are awash with vile content.
“Companies appear to care little about who is exposed and seem powerless to prevent such content being published and disseminated.”
Other users questioned its legality and called for Twitter to take it down.

The clip was posted with a link to a subscription platform where Bear, 31, posts explicit videos.
He later bragged that he made “$1,000,000 in 12 hours” after tweeting the video.
Twitter has been contacted for comment.
