NRL star responds to Arabella Del Busso pregnancy ‘white lie’ after TV walk off

NRL star Josh Reynolds has given a scornful reply to former partner Arabella Del Busso after her “white lie” walk out on SAS Australia.

NRL star Josh Reynolds has given a blunt response to former partner Arabella Del Busso’s pregnancy “white lie” as she walked out of SAS Australia.

In an episode that aired on Tuesday night, the former rugby league WAG was put under the spotlight for the lies she has told in the past during her relationship with the Wests Tigers player.

The 30-year-old model and Reynolds both appeared on Channel 9’s 60 Minutes earlier this year to give their side of a story that involves accusations of fake pregnancies and violence during a tumultuous relationship.

It included extraordinary video footage of Reynolds yelling at his former partner during a tirade in which she claimed she was pushed against a wall.

Reynolds was accused of assaulting Del Busso, whose real name is Donna Preusker, but the charges were dropped in late February.

Their turbulent relationship took another twist on Tuesday night when Del Busso spoke openly during an interrogation on the hit TV show about the accusations she faked three pregnancies.

“I told my partner that I had a pregnancy scare, and I showed it to him and said it was ours, when in fact, it wasn’t our scan at all,” an emotional Del Busso said on the show.

“I have told a lie but the way that I see it, is not going to hurt anyone. I’m sure we all do it. I’m honestly not the only person here or there.

“People will judge me no matter what but they haven’t lived my life, they don’t know the extent of things that I’ve been through.”

Reynolds responded to Del Busso’s claims that her lies didn’t hurt anyone in an Instagram post on Tuesday night where he wrote: “White lies are sweet right”.

Del Busso earlier this year denied she faked three pregnancies.

Reynolds’ legal team argued in court that Del Busso “faked” three pregnancies and duped him out of thousands of dollars over a web of lies including the false death of her own mother.

The first time Del Busso told Reynolds she was pregnant was following a one-night stand. She said she miscarried twice and terminated the third pregnancy due to the pair’s souring relationship.

But Reynolds said he had a suspicion things weren’t right from the outset when Del Busso struggled to provide an ultrasound.

In his interview with 60 Minutes, Reynolds said: “I feel silly but she played with my emotions.

“The last nine weeks, since I was charged, have been one of the most tumultuous and difficult periods of my life.”
