A lingerie model who was launched into the spotlight for her tumultuous relationship with NRL player Josh Reynolds has been charged with stealing from her former employer.

A lingerie model and reality TV star Arabella Del Busso has been charged with allegedly stealing more than $52,000 from her former employer.

Detectives from St George police in Sydney’s south have charged Del Busso, 31, with two counts of stealing property from an employer following a lengthy investigation.

Court documents reveal police will allege Del Busso stole $35,785 from Rheumatology Specialist Care in Kogarah – which is now known as Integrated Specialist Medical Care – between September 2019 and February 2020.

Police will further allege Del Busso stole $16,565 from the clinic’s Randwick location over the same period.

It is understood Del Busso then worked as a receptionist for the clinic at both locations.

Del Busso was due to face Sutherland Local Court on these charges for the first time on Tuesday but sent an email to the acting registrar requesting an adjournment.

“Miss Del Busso is seeking a further mention, she is unable to travel interstate and she is unable to appoint a lawyer and getting legal advice,” the acting registrar said in court.

“She is residing in Victoria.”

The police prosecutor consented to a one-month adjournment given the current COVID-19 lockdown and Del Busso’s matter will return to the same court on July 27.

Court documents indicate Del Busso is currently residing in Port Melbourne.

Del Busso burst into the limelight during her high-profile relationship with NRL player Josh Reynolds.

Their relationship broke down when Reynolds was charged with allegedly assaulting Del Busso during a domestic incident – but the charges were later dropped in February 2020.

In October 2020 Del Busso appeared on the latest season of the Seven Network’s reality show SAS Australia, in which celebrities are challenged to endure SAS training.

Del Busso is not subject to bail conditions prior to her next court appearance.
