Inside OnlyFans model Paris Ow-Yang’s ‘explosion’ in Sydney unit
Court documents reveal what went on at a ritzy Sydney apartment that saw Paris Ow-Yang charged with assault.
Two knives were found embedded in the floor of a ritzy Sydney apartment where prominent OnlyFans model Paris Ow-Yang unleashed a violent “one-off explosion”.
The 19-year-old millionaire yelled “I hate you” and “you’re a slut” at her mother Amanda Ow-Yang before punching another victim several times during the November incident, court documents reveal.
Ms Ow-Yang pleaded guilty to charges of common assault, damaging property and two counts of intimidation at Waverley Local Court this week after an attempt to have them dealt with under mental health laws failed.

Magistrate Paul Mulroney said it was “not appropriate” to dismiss the charges but did not record convictions for the young woman.
A fact sheet tendered to court details the events of November 7 when an “intoxicated” Ms Ow-Yang knocked on the door of the Double Bay unit about 9pm.
The court heard the teenager had consumed cocktails and four glasses of champagne at an influencer event before being found by friends wandering around Double Bay.
“The accused walked in, sat on the couch in the living room and started to say words to the effect of ‘I hate you’, ‘You’re a slut’ and ‘I want to kill myself’ to Amanda,” the documents state.
The second victim intervened to de-escalate the situation, and a “short physical altercation” broke out.
Ms Ow-Yang punched this person several times, and the victim threw a punch in self-defence, court documents state.
The “afraid” second victim was told to leave the unit “for her own safety due to the accused’s erratic and unpredictable behaviour”.
Ms Ow-Yang then proceeded to trash a bedroom and living room inside the apartment, “including a wardrobe cabinet, guitar, a vase and numerous other household items”.
The court documents state during this time Ms Ow-Yang grabbed two knives, with Amanda calling triple-0 out of concern for Ms Ow-Yang’s welfare and leaving the unit “as she thought she would get attacked”.
After coming outside and continuing to yell at Amanda, a witness not known to either party came outside and “detained the accused to prevent further physical altercations from occurring”.
Police arrived on the scene about 11.30pm, and officers “observed the accused to be highly aggressive, screaming in a quarrelsome nature” before being told she had been “violent”.
“Police conducted a walk-through of the house and immediately noticed extensive property damage as well as two knives that had been lodged into the kitchen floor,” the facts state.
Ms Ow-Yang was taken to hospital overnight before being released and was arrested by police at her Bondi flat the next day.
Her lawyer Michael Bowe on Wednesday argued the charges should be dealt with under a Section 14 order, saying Ms Ow-Yang had long suffered from mental health issues.
He said Ms Ow-Yang had no recollection of the incident and “there’s certainly been nothing further”.
Despite the “substantial income” she gains from social media and Only Fans, Mr Bowe said, she was also open to online insults, which impacted on her mental health.
He told the court Ms Ow-Yang flew to the US regularly to meet with her agent and also “has a boyfriend in the American army”.
The lawyer said her partner had been a “stable” influence, and characterised the November incident as a “one-off explosion”.
“She’s only a young girl. She’s 19, she’s got the world in front of her,” Mr Bowe said.
“(I’m) just asking you to give her a break, Your Honour. To put it in the vernacular.”
On sentence, Mr Mulroney said Ms Ow-Yang had previously had an unrelated charge of high-range drink driving dealt with in another court.
“You should have taken a much better look at yourself after the drink-driving offence. And you should have done much more to address your alcohol problem,” he said.
“It is possible for you to live with them (the mental health issues) as long as you do your part … and quite frankly in recent times, you haven’t been doing your part.
“Alcohol is not a medication for mental health.”
Ms Ow-Yang, the daughter of neurosurgeon Michael Ow-Yang, has 1.6 million followers on Instagram and TikTok.
She joined OnlyFans at 18 and is among the top 0.02 per cent of earners, having spoken in the media about the property “empire” she has built from her earnings despite her young age.
Mr Mulroney sentenced her to a 15-month conditional release order under which she must not drink alcohol and attend treatment.
She must also comply with two-year AVOs protecting her two victims, which include conditions not to assault or intimidate them and not to approach them within 12 hours of drinking.
