“Psychologically, it affects your self-esteem,” she told hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.
“You think you’re in love and all along they only had sex with you for money to sell on the internet.”

Harrison previously claimed the stress caused by Bear’s decision to release the explicit footage nearly killed her after she developed a cyst on her ovary while in Dubai overseas.
Addressing the impact on her physical and mental health on Thursday, the former Love Island contestant admitted she was “in a state of grief”.
“I was at home, drank too much and was hospitalized for a cyst on my ovary,” she explained.
“Mentally I was deteriorating. People don’t know it’s been two and a half years. Two years ago, sitting here, I would have been a mess.”
Bear’s verdict, delivered at Chelmsford Crown Court on March 3, served as a precedent of sorts, but Harrison – who waived her right to anonymity during the trial – admits she was stunned by how difficult it was to find one Getting revenge porn conviction across the line.

She added: “I didn’t understand until now how much was at stake if he had been found not guilty. I would have been canceled because everyone would have thought I was part of this video.
It was revealed last week that Bear was left behind a “broken man” and has been “crying for days” and is under suicide watch, with a source saying he never expected he would be jailed.
Harrison, recently revealed that the stress of the ordeal she endured nearly killed her.
Speaking to The Sun, Harrison said she was “blossoming” before seeing the CCTV footage circulating online but her career was then “damaged”.
She said she developed a cyst in her ovary while in Dubai, which she says can happen to women when they’re “stressed”.
“I honestly wanted to keep leaving it without getting help,” said Ms Harrison, who also appeared in The Only Way is Essex.
‘My mother said to me… ‘I know something is wrong… get up and go to the hospital now.’
Harrison added: “As I sat in the car I just started shaking and shaking and what I didn’t know was I was going into shock and when I got to the hospital they said that my kidneys, my Pelvis and several of my organs became infected.
“I was actually in septic shock and if I had stayed home one more night I would have died.”
An ovarian cyst, which are fluid-filled sacs, is common in women and doesn’t usually cause any symptoms, according to the NHS.
Harrison only discovered the footage when she logged on to Bear’s OnlyFans to find a screenshot of him on her.
She said, “He put the caption like, ‘Sign up now for 50 percent off to see me fuck this bitch in my backyard.’
“I felt so hurt. All I ever did was be good to him as a friend and more than that.’
The stress of discovery caused Harrison’s hair to fall out on the cyst and septic shock, she said.
She now plans to sue Bear for ruining her career and spoke of the moment she first discovered the footage was being sold online.
She added, “People don’t realize how much this has hurt my career. I went through two years of being dumped by every brand that has ever worked with me.
“My career was successful before that.”
