The Bachelor contestant Leah Costa defends topless performer past as racy photos emerge

TWO Bachelor hopefuls have defended themselves against topless photos and racy behaviour. WARNING: Nude content.

IT’S been a whirlwind week for The Bachelor contestant Leah Costa, who’s come out on the front foot to defend her past as a topless entertainer after near-nude photos emerged.

Just one day after she was publicly rejected by Matty J during an ill-fated pash, photos surfaced showing Costa working as a topless performer and engaging in some racy behaviour.

The 24-year-old blonde has defended her past, telling news.com.au she’s not “ashamed” of her former career.

“It is true that I worked as a lingerie and topless waitress for some time,” she said in a statement.

“This was to support myself in the early years of my Bachelor of Architectural Design degree. I am looking forward to finishing my degree this year and forging a successful career in the building/construction industry. My past job is not something that I am ashamed of, nor does it affect my aim to find love.”

The photos are believed to have been taken in December and show the blonde wearing just a plaid miniskirt and heels. Costa is then shown using a leather belt to spank a man, who has his pants pulled down to expose his buttocks.

But it seems Costa is not alone. Photos of fellow contestant Simone Ormesher have also emerged, revealing her past as a topless entertainer.

Simone’s profile also appears on a website for Melbourne company Bar Babes. The business describes itself as “Melbourne’s one stop shop adult entertainment agency”.

“Bar Babes prides itself on providing some of Melbourne’s finest glamorous male and female bar staff, waitresses, naked waitresses and strippers,” the website reads.

Network Ten did not provide a statement before publication.

In her profile, 25-year-old Simone goes by the name “Katie”.

“Stunning Katie is fabulous from head to toe! Tall and busty, she will provide a great night of endless laughs and entertainment,” her profile states.

Just one week into the new series of The Bachelor, both girls have managed to gain attention from Matty J and viewers.

While Ormesher found herself in the middle of a vicious “take down” on Thursday night’s episode, Costa was publicly rejected after she tried to kiss Matty on the second night of the competition.

The result was, in the words of fellow contestants, “brutal”.
