Teenage OnlyFans star Paris Ow-Yang turned up drunk at her mother’s apartment in Sydney’s eastern suburbs and called her a ‘sl**’ before threatening to kill herself, a court has heard.
The 19-year-old told Amanda Ow-Yang she hated her and went on to trash property including a vase, wardrobe cabinet and other items worth approximately $1,500.
When police arrived at the home, they found two kitchen knives had been removed from a block and embedded in the kitchen floor.
Ow-Yang, whose father is neurosurgeon Michael Ow-Yang, was taken to hospital that night but was arrested the next afternoon when she returned to her mother’s home.
Details of the private school girl’s terrifying rampage were revealed on Wednesday after she pleaded guilty to a string of domestic violence charges, including assault.
Waverley Local Court heard Ow-Yang suffered from a litany of mental health problems stemming from the separation of her parents when she was a child.
Solicitor Michael Bowe said his client had been diagnosed with conditions including depression, anxiety, ADHD and an eating disorder.
She had repeatedly engaged in self-harm, binge drinking and compulsive shopping as a result of grief, shock and trauma.
A statement of facts said Ow-Yang arrived intoxicated at her mother’s Double Bay home about 9pm on November 7 and knocked on the front door.

Her mother saw Ow-Yang was drunk but let her inside the apartment and the onetime equestrian down on a couch in the living room.
Ow-Yang then began saying words to the effect of, ‘You’re a sl**’, ‘I hate you’ and ‘I want to kill myself’.
When another person in the unit tried to de-escalate the confrontation, Ow-Yang punched her several times.
Amanda Ow-Yang told the other person to leave ‘for her own safety due to the accused’s erratic and unpredictable behaviour’, according to court documents.
When that person left the building Ow-Yang began destroying property including a vase, wardrobe cabinet and other household items.
During the frenzy, Ow-Yang entered the kitchen, grabbed two knives and said, ‘I want to kill myself’.
Fearing her daughter would harm herself, Ow-Yang’s mother called triple zero for help, then fled the apartment.
Ow-Yang followed her mother outside, repeatedly shouting, ‘You’re a sl**’, and walked towards her.

A bystander observed Ow-Yang ‘to be in an irate and heightened state and feared that she may harm the victim Amanda’, the statement of facts recorded.
The witness detained Ow-Yang and when police arrived about 10.50pm, they found her to be ‘highly aggressive, swearing and a quarrelsome nature’.
Officers found two knives lodged in the kitchen floor.
About 11.30pm, Ow-Yang was detained under Section 32 of the Mental Health Act and taken by ambulance to St Vincent’s Hospital.
Twelve hours later, Ow-Yang was discharged from hospital and went back to her mother’s address, where she was taken into police custody.
Ow-Yang, who lives alone at Bondi, was charged with common assault, two counts of stalking and intimidation, and destroying property.
She attempted to have the charges dealt with under mental health legislation but pleaded guilty when that application was rejected by magistrate Paul Mulroney.
Mr Bowe had told that court that Ow-Yang had attended a jewellery event before her ‘one-off explosion’, drinking a couple of cocktails and four glasses of champagne.
The court heard on Wednesday that the 19-year-old had been diagnosed with conditions including depression , anxiety, ADHD and an eating disorder
She was found wandering the streets of Double Bay after blacking out and no memory of what happened at her mother’s home.
Ow-Yang’s parents were not in Waverley Local Court on Wednesday but that did not mean they didn’t care, Mr Bowe said.
‘It just means there is a problem between the two of them,’ he told the court.
Ow-Yang appeared demurely dressed in grey pants, a white blouse, black jacket and J’Adior heels, alongside Mr Bowe.
Mr Bowe said his client suffered a ‘whole series’ of mental health conditions which began when her parents separated when she was about 13.
She had never recovered from that split and her problems had been exacerbated by a relationship with 44-year-old nightclub king Julian Tobias.
That relationship, which ended last year, was not a ‘stabilising influence’ on Ow-Yang, Mr Bowe told the court.
Ow-Yang now had a boyfriend closer to her own age who serves in the US military and was a positive influence on her.

‘I’ve spoken to him on the phone and he seems like a pretty good bloke,’ Mr Bowe told the court.
Ow-Yang last year blamed a drunken car crash after which she blew more than four times the legal limit for a P-plater on the end of her relationship with Tobias.
She had smashed her $50,000 black Mercedes into another Mercedes worth $150,000 parked in Point Piper in Sydney’s east in October 2023.
Mr Bowe said the crash was a result of a ‘perfect storm’ after Ow-Yang ‘spiralled out of control’ when she couldn’t cope with the breakdown of her romance.
She had been ‘drowning herself in alcohol’, Mr Bowe told Downing Centre Local Court.
On that occasion, magistrate Rodney Brender convicted Ow-Yang, fined her $1,000 and imposed a two-year community corrections order.
On Wednesday, Mr Bowe said Ow-Yang, who has more than 1.6million followers across Instagram and TikTok, was doing her best to get her life in order.
He described his client as ‘very successful in one area of her life, very unsuccessful in another’.

‘She can’t hide behind alcohol to solve her problems,’ Mr Bowe said.
‘She admits it’s not going to be easy. Nothing is going to be easy for her.
‘She still misses the fact that her parents aren’t together. She’s brought that up on numerous occasions with me.’
Mr Bowe said Ow-Yang’s social media presence meant she was a regular victim of ‘quite debilitating’ online abuse.
Mr Mulroney rejected Ow-Yang’s application for the case to be dealt with as anything other than a series of domestic violence offences.
Mr Mulroney said while he was sympathetic towards citizens who suffered from mental health issues, Ow-Yang had not always paid appropriate attention to her own.
‘It seems in this situation that Ms Ow-Yang has at times been way less than responsible in terms of attention to her mental health,’ he said.
‘In my view, there needs to be a greater guarantee that Ms Ow-Yang would be compliant with mental health treatment.’
Ow-Yang (pictured at Waverley Local Court on Wednesday) was found wandering the streets of Double Bay after blacking out and according to solicitor Michael Bowe then went to her mother’s house and started ‘shouting at everyone’
Mr Mulroney also placed Ow-Yang on an apprehended violence order.
Mr Bowe had sought a non-publication order over the contents of an extensive psychologist’s report.
He said Ow-Yang’s mother was fearful her daughter would take her own life if the report were made public.
‘There is a genuine fear that Ms Ow-Yang will do something that none of us would like to see happen,’ Mr Bowe said.
‘Does the community need to know the ins and outs of Ms Ow-Yang’s life?’
Mr Mulroney granted a non-publication order on the report but not over submissions related to Ow-Yang’s mental health made by Mr Bowe.
Ow-Yang wiped tears from her eyes after the order was made.
Mr Bowe urged Mr Mulroney not to record a conviction: ‘She’s only 19. She’s got the world in front of her.’
Mr Mulroney agreed to Mr Bowe’s request and instead imposed a 15-month conditional release order.
Under the terms of that order, Ow-Yang must comply with a mental health treatment plan and abstain from alcohol.
In sentencing, Mr Mulroney said ‘domestic violence is a poison in our community’ and warned Ow-Yang if she committed another such offence she would likely to go jail.
‘It’s really important that you comply with the orders that I have made today,’ he told Ow-Yang.
‘It’s not a sprint race for you, it’s a long-distance race for you.
‘I wish you good luck. I can’t say I’ll be going onto TikTok anytime soon to learn about you but I wish you success in your chosen career.’
Ow-Yang gained a massive social media audience before turning to OnlyFans the day after she turned 18.
Within months of starting the account on the adults only platform, she was able to quit university and purchase her first of many properties in Sydney’s affluent eastern suburbs.
Her OnlyFans content has also continued to grow ever since and is now placed in the top 0.02 per cent of creators on the platform in the world.
Ow-Yang attended the $33,000-a-year Frensham School in the NSW Southern Highlands.
