Paris Ow-Yang has wreaked havoc across Sydney’s eastern suburbs since the moment she turned 18.
Landing herself in court twice in as many years, with her most recent incident involving assault, the 19-year-old seemed the perfect match for boyfriend Rocket Stickney, who was fighting his own court battle when they were first spotted together in December.
But Daily Mail Australia can exclusively reveal the daughter of respected Sydney neurosurgeon Dr Michael Ow-Yang has ended things with her US Navy SEAL lover, 29, with their romance fizzling out almost as soon as it began.
Paris and Rocket had made their debut as a couple on December 7 when we papped them during an awkward outing in Sydney with Dr Ow-Yang in tow.
After her string of drunken rampages in recent years, the good doctor’s patience with his OnlyFans star daughter was tested when she struck up a romance with Rocket, who in addition to being 10 years her senior was also fighting a rape allegation which has since been withdrawn.
Rocket first faced a magistrate at Parramatta on July 1, 2023, on a single count of sexual intercourse without consent and four days later was the subject of an apprehended violence order (AVO) police applied for in Downing Centre Local Court.

Under his bail conditions, Rocket was ordered to surrender his U.S. passport, not to leave Australia at any time and not to apply for another international travel document.
He was also required to report each Wednesday to Bondi police station, to live at a designated address and not to contact the woman named in the AVO or any other prosecution witness.
Rocket pleaded not guilty to the rape charge on February 22 last year and reaffirmed that plea on April 5 when he was arraigned in Downing Centre District Court.
The case was set down for trial this week on Monday, but when Rocket appeared before Judge John Pickering on November 26 last year the charge was withdrawn by the Crown.
The Director of Public Prosecutions indicated no further proceedings would take place but the AVO application was ongoing.
A spokeswoman for the DPP previously said the office would not be explaining why the charge was withdrawn.
‘Reasons for the decision to withdraw a charge are made in accordance with the prosecution guidelines and are legally privileged,’ she said.
‘As such, we politely decline to comment.’

With the charge withdrawn, Rocket is likely too relieved by the prospect of a fresh start to dwell on his break-up with Paris, the reason for which remains unclear.
Rocket had been pictured with Paris and her father just a week after the charges against him were dropped, towering over the pair as they walked their pint-sized dachshund.
As Paris and her father donned conservative athleisure wear for their outing, Rocket kept his eyes hidden behind dark sunglasses as he ripped off his shirt and flaunted his numerous tattoos while going shirtless.
Paris looked glum during their walk, a far cry from her usual bubbly self seen on Instagram and OnlyFans, while her father appeared to be keeping his distance from the couple.
After finishing the coastal walk, the trio headed back to one of the many properties the Ow-Yang family owns in the area, but the surgeon didn’t look like he was particularly enjoying spending time with Paris and her boyfriend.
Paris and Rocket were seen together again the following week, looking much happier without her father present.
In an unrelated matter, on December 11, Paris pleaded guilty to one count of common assault, one of intimidation and one of destroying property.
Waverley Local Court heard Paris had turned up at her mother Amanda’s home in Double Bay at about 9pm on November 7 and run amok in a terrifying incident she could not recall.
An enraged Paris had repeatedly called her mother a ‘s**t’ then threatened to take her own life and embedded two kitchen knives in the floor.

Solicitor Michael Bowe said his client suffered from a litany of mental health problems stemming from the separation of her parents when she was a child.
Paris had been diagnosed with conditions including depression, anxiety, ADHD and an eating disorder.
She repeatedly engaged in self-harm, binge drinking and compulsive shopping as a result of grief, shock and trauma.
Mr Bowe said Paris had 1.3 million followers on TikTok and 350,000 on Instagram but did not mention the OnlyFans account the private school girl opened as soon as she became an adult.
He said Paris suffered a ‘whole series’ of mental health conditions which stemmed from her parents separating when she was about 13.

She never recovered from the split and her problems were said to have been made worse by a brief relationship with nightclub owner Julian Tobias.
It seems Paris has developed a pattern of short-lived flings with much older men during her brief foray into the world of romance, as Julian, 44, dumped Paris upon their return from an overseas holiday in 2023, just months after they started dating.
An insider said that relationship was destined to fail because the pair had nothing in common.
Paris also blamed a drunken car crash in October 2023 on the emotional turmoil of her romance with Tobias ending suddenly.
After drowning her ‘pain and hurt’ in alcohol for nine hours, she smashed her $50,000 black Mercedes into another Mercedes worth $150,000 in Point Piper.
She subsequently blew 0.213 – more than four times the legal limit for a P-plate driver.
Paris was convicted of high-range drink driving and received a $1,000 fine along with a two-year community corrections order.
In December, Mr Bowe said Paris now had a new boyfriend, whom he did not name but submitted was providing support as she worked to get her life back in order.

‘She has a partner who is in the American army, he is a stable influence, albeit, the last partner she had was not,’ Mr Bowe told Magistrate Paul Mulroney.
‘I’ve spoken to him on the phone and he seems like a pretty good bloke.’
Rocket has previously been described as a member of the US Navy Sea, Air and Land (SEAL) Teams, a special operations force separate from the army.
He was not in court when Paris made her guilty plea. It is unclear if they had broken up by that point.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted both parties for further comment.
Mr Mulroney declined to deal with Paris’ latest offending under mental health provisions of the law. He said while he was sympathetic towards people who suffered from mental health issues, Paris had not always paid appropriate attention to hers.
‘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.’
Mr Bowe urged Mr Mulroney not to record a conviction after Paris pleaded guilty to one count of common assault, one of intimidation and one of destroying property.
‘She’s only 19. She’s got the world in front of her,’ he said.
Mr Mulroney agreed to Mr Bowe’s request and instead imposed a 15-month conditional release order.
Under the terms of the order, Paris 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 Paris if she committed another such offence she would likely to go jail.
Mr Mulroney also placed Paris on an AVO.
