Ex-NRL WAG Arabella Del Busso shares racy topless Christmas photo and gives herself a VERY raunchy nickname – after pleading guilty to $35,000 theft

Arabella Del Busso proved she’s happy to be on Santa’s ‘naughty list’ when she stripped off for a very raunchy Christmas photo shoot on Saturday.

The former NRL WAG, who recently pleaded guilty to stealing thousands of dollars from her former employer, took to Instagram with a photo of herself posing completely topless in a red thong and garter.

The image showed Arabella decorating her Christmas tree, making sure to strategically hide her modesty behind a bauble.

She completed her look with a generous amount of makeup and wore her dark hair in loose waves.

The SAS Australia star accompanied her raunchy photo with a heartfelt message to her fans, writing: “I would like to take the time to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.”

“May your holidays be filled with love and happiness… I hope 2024 will be a wonderful year for you. Lots of love,” she added.

She also posted a photo to Instagram Stories of herself sitting bare-legged and holding a coffee cup with the cheeky words: “Santa’s favorite ho.”

Arabella’s celebratory cheer comes months after she admitted at the last minute to stealing thousands of dollars from her ex-employer while appearing in court to fight the charges in October.

Arabella was convicted of not stealing the large sum when she failed to appear earlier this year and successfully applied to have the convictions quashed.

She pleaded not guilty and was due to appear at Sutherland Local Court for a one-day hearing.

But Arabella was a no-show, with her lawyer Andrew Stewart telling the court she had suffered a concussion as a result of a boxing incident and had instead entered a guilty plea.

Arabella’s celebratory cheer comes months after she admitted at the last minute to stealing thousands of dollars from her ex-employer while appearing in court to fight the charges in October.

The former girlfriend of NRL star Josh Reynolds pleaded guilty to one charge of stealing $35,785 from her employer, Rheumatology Specialist Care at Kogarah, while working as a receptionist between September 2019 and February 2020.

A further charge of theft of $16,565 from the company’s Randwick operations will be taken into account at sentencing.

In a fact sheet tendered to the court, police say Arabella told customers several times between September 2019 and February 2020 that the eftpos machine was not working and asked them to pay in cash.

The former girlfriend of NRL star Josh Reynolds pleaded guilty to one charge of stealing $35,785 from her employer, Rheumatology Specialist Care at Kogarah, while working as a receptionist between September 2019 and February 2020.

On one occasion she sent 18 messages to patients’ mobile numbers saying: ‘Appointment with Dr Joshua today 6/2, unfortunately our EFTPOS facilities are out of order so it will be a cash transaction today of $170, sorry for the inconvenience .’

She was the only receptionist working at the Randwick company at the time, and logs showed the eftpos was being used by other customers.

The lingerie model then deposited $18,215 into her personal accounts.

Mr Stewart told Magistrate Jillian Kiely that his client had suffered ‘on and off concussions’.

Arabella had a turbulent relationship with NRL superstar Josh Reynolds, which ended when it was revealed she was faking a pregnancy

He told the court he had been given written instructions to enter the pleas and asked for the case to be listed in 2024 so Del Busso could get a report from a psychiatrist.

At an earlier hearing, the court was told Del Busso could face years in prison.

Ms Kiely ordered that she would attend the next court hearing in person.

Arabella returns to court in January.

Arabella previously had a high-profile and rocky relationship with Reynolds, which disappeared when it was revealed she had faked a pregnancy.

She admitted the fake pregnancy when she appeared on reality show SAS Australia just months after being fired from Rheumatology Specialist Care.

Arabella continued her career as a lingerie model and has since become a famous boxer.
