Controversial former NRL WAG Arabella Del Busso has posted a provocative photo of herself performing a striptease while traveling in business class to England. The 34-year-old, who is set to fight former adult film star Leah Gotti on the undercard of the Tommy Fury vs. Eddie Hall event in Manchester on June 13, shared the revealing image on her Instagram account on Monday.
The selfie was taken inside the aircraft lavatory, with Del Busso pulling down her trousers to expose her underwear while lifting her jumper to reveal her chest. The post has drawn significant attention, adding to a long history of public controversies surrounding the Australian personality.
Del Busso is no stranger to unusual stripteases, having previously made headlines for similar antics. However, her notoriety primarily stems from a series of deceptions, most notably faking multiple pregnancies during her relationship with NRL star Josh Reynolds. She was accused of conning the Wests Tigers player out of thousands of dollars and tricking him into believing she had miscarried their unborn twins. Other men later came forward, claiming Del Busso had defrauded them by faking cancer, family deaths, and pregnancies.
In July 2024, Del Busso was released from Australia's largest women's prison after serving five months for stealing $52,000 from her employer, Integrated Specialist Medical Care, where she worked as a receptionist in 2019. By then, she was already infamous for the fabricated pregnancies and a paid interview on 60 Minutes where she discussed her claims.
She has appeared on the reality show SAS Australia, where she confessed to her past deceptions under interrogation in 2020. During the show, she admitted: "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." In her 60 Minutes interview, she acknowledged passing off another woman's ultrasound as her own "because I was being spiteful."
Del Busso is now attempting to rebrand her image through boxing. She defeated influencer Papi Katarina in her debut and holds a record of three wins and two losses. Her opponent on June 13, Leah Gotti, won her boxing debut on August 10, 2024, with a third-round stoppage victory over Amber Fields in Miami.
