A teen influencer and OnlyFans star has been warned she could face jail time after pleading guilty to driving four times over the legal limit.
Paris Ow-Yang, 18, smashed her $50,000 black Mercedes into another, red Mercedes worth $150,000 parked in Point Piper in Sydney‘s east at 8.45pm on October 18, a court heard on Friday.
The crash happened after Ow-Yang got drunk over nine hours to drown her ‘pain and hurt’ over a break up with nightclub baron Julian Tobias, the Downing Centre Local Court was told.
Ow-Yang, who joined OnlyFans the day she turned 18, started out at Meat & Co at midday on the day in question, and later drank at a Chinese restaurant and at a friend’s place.
She later blew 0.213 and police observed that the P2 licence holder had no P plates displayed on her car.
Ow-Yang, who began dating 44-year-old Tobias when she was 17, started drinking white wine at 3pm on October 18, after a previous period of partying at her parents’ Southern Highlands estate and in Bali.

Standing up before Magistrate Rodney Brender, Ms Ow-Yang was warned that her behaviour had ‘put you and other people on the road in danger’.
His Honour told Ms Ow-Yang she faced a possible 18-month jail sentence and that ‘where moral culpability is increased by aggravating factors anything less than jail is generally inappropriate.
‘If it happens again … (yes), jail.’
Ow-Yang arrived at court on Friday dressed in a powder blue jacket, matching heels and white trousers and carrying a Chloe Bag. She was accompanied by her father, neurosurgeon Dr Michael Ow-Yang.
Her lawyer, Michael Bowe, entered a plea of guilty to high range drink driving in court on her behalf.

Ow-Yang arrived at court on Friday dressed in a powder blue jacket, matching heels and white trousers and carrying a Chloe Bag. She was accompanied by her father, neurosurgeon Dr Michael Ow-Yang.
Her lawyer, Michael Bowe, entered a plea of guilty to high range drink driving in court on her behalf.
He told the court that Ow-Yang – who has previously said she earns a significant income from her OnlyFans page – would now have to pay for the two damaged vehicles.

Mr Bowe said the crash was a result of a ‘perfect storm’ after Ow-Yang ‘spiralled out of control’ with drinking when ‘she couldn’t cope with … the breakdown’ of her romance.
She had been ‘drowning herself in alcohol’, Mr Bowe told the court.
‘She was just burying herself in her own depression and issues, hoping alcohol would disguise the pain and hurt,’ Mr Bowe said,.
Police facts state that after her arrest and while in police custody Ow-Yang ‘made verbal comments about wanting to die and having no purpose in life’.
Mr Bowe told the magistrate that Ow-Yang had completed a traffic offenders program, and had ‘been off alcohol for at least three weeks’.

Ow-Yang graduated last year from exclusive Frensham college in the NSW Southern Highlands, a $33,000-a-year ladies boarding school.
She has a significant presence on OnlyFans, attracting 40,000 views per post on the subscription adults-only content site.
She has claimed her account was so lucrative that after just two months she was able to quit university and buy a house.
Her parents, who the court heard are separated, own several luxury properties in NSW. They listed their 14.5 acre Bowral family weekender for sale last month for $12million.
Chateau Blondel boasts a large 18th-century-style-mansion, panoramic views of neighbouring vineyards and is decked out in luxury furniture.
Magistrate Brender convicted Ow-Yang and sentenced her to a two-year Community Corrections Order.
He disqualified her licence for nine months but with a mandatory 24 month interlock installed.
She was fined $1000.
