Arabella Del Busso speaks out on former relationship with NRL star Josh Reynolds in 60 Minutes interview
The ex-girlfriend of NRL star Josh Reynolds has spoken out after she was accused of faking multiple pregnancies and cancer.
She’s been embroiled in a media storm and yet she’s remained silent so far.
Now Arabella Del Busso is sharing her side of the story, after her tumultuous relationship with NRL star Josh Reynolds.
Reynolds had been accused of assaulting Del Busso, whose real name is Donna Preusker, but the charges were dropped late February.
His legal team told a Sydney court Del Busso had a history of deception and false aliases, allegedly used to exploit several former partners.

Reynolds’ legal team argued in court 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.
Del Busso was last confronted in public early March, on the way to her 30th birthday.
In a preview for 60 Minutes on Sunday night the Instagram model says she’s setting the record straight.
“People think I'm a psycho, they all think I'm crazy,” she says in the clip.
She told the program she had been excited to become a mum, with the couple even having a gender reveal party.
But Reynolds reveals how he thought things were a “bit fishy” when he asked to see ultrasound scans.
“The scans she sent me, something was off,” Reynolds tells 60 Minutes.
Reynolds also addresses the video where he was filmed having an argument with a woman in his house.
“I don't ever want to be that person ever again,” Reynolds tells the program.
“That 28 seconds is something I'll never be able to take back in my life.”
After the charges were dropped against him, Reynolds compared the episode to a Netflix series.
“She (Arabella) was smart, she knew what to do. There’s no Netflix series, there’s nothing that’s as good as her ploy,” he told Nine News.
“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.”
Soon after Del Busso was photographed with boxer Istvan Szili.
The full interview airs on 60 Minutes on Sunday.
