Leaked texts prove Playboy model was dating Geoffrey Edelsten

HOW embarrassing. Text messages between Geoffrey Edelsten and his Playboy ‘girlfriend’ Ashley Kirk have leaked — and it’s clear she really wants money.

WELL, this is embarrassing.

Playboy model Ashley Kirk staunchly denied ever dating Geoffrey Edelsten — but text messages sent between the pair have leaked, and they paint a very different picture.

Even more tellingly, the messages reveal Kirk, 26, was hoping to make a million dollars from a TV appearance with the 73-year-old millionaire.

According to the Daily Mail, Edelsten has confirmed the texts are real — though he insisted he wasn’t the one who leaked them to the media.

Last month, he gushed about his new romance toThe Daily Telegraph: “She’s [Kirk] gorgeous, articulate and fun and is attracted to me, I believe, because I’ve a lot to offer.”

Just one day later, her manager Gisela Shiffer responded with this statement: “I spoke with Ashley who said she is not dating this guy, and will not do an interview. So, I am not sure how the rumours got started.”

However, if the texts are in indeed authentic, it appears Kirk’s team may have been stretching the truth.

In one of them, the model told Edelsten she wanted to be very rich.

“I want to make lots of money,” she said.

“So I never have to be poor ever again.”

Kirk appeared to get upset when she found out a paid interview with an Australian TV show wouldn’t pay her anywhere near the $1 million she was hoping for.

“It will be much more modest as a 20 minute segment of show,” Edelsten told her about the payment.

“So not a million?” Kirk replied with a crying face emoji.

“Well that sucks. Why ruin my name for less would it be half?(sic)”

She also lashed out at Edelsten’s ex Gabi Grecko.

“I’m a great girl I really am,” she wrote to the doctor.

“Not like ur ex(sic) she sounds horrible.”

In the texts, Edelsten professed his love for the young model, and she said it back.

Kirk bears a striking resemblance to his estranged wife Gabi Grecko, who he married in 2015, but Edelsten insists she’s “old news” and that divorce papers have already been lodged to end their disastrous marriage.

Edelsten and Grecko had originally hooked up via a sugar daddy website, and married a year later.

They capitalised on their fame by appearing on Celebrity Apprentice, but cracks started to show during filming and they split shortly afterwards.

She was later caught up in a prostitution scandal after reports surfaced she was paid to perform sexual acts on a handful of New York Police officers on a private jet.
