Ex-NRL WAG Arabella Del Busso is charged with stealing $52,000 from her former employer - after admitting she faked pregnancies with her footy star ex
Glamour model Arabella Del Busso has been charged with allegedly stealing $52,350 from a medical clinic - just months after admitting she faked pregnancies with her NRL star ex-boyfriend Josh Reynolds.
Del Busso, 31, will face Sutherland Local Court on July 27 after being charged with two counts of stealing property from an employer between September 2019 and February 2020.
At a hearing on Tuesday, the court heard police will allege Del Busso stole $35,785 from Rheumatology Specialist Care in Kogarah in Sydney's south and $16,565 from the clinic’s Randwick branch, The Daily Telegraph reports.
During the period of the alleged offences, it is understood the lingerie model was employed as a receptionist and was working at both locations.
Del Busso, who is currently residing in Victoria, was due to face court this week but requested an adjournment amid Covid-19 travel restrictions.
'Miss Del Busso is seeking a further mention, she is unable to travel interstate and she is unable to appoint a lawyer and getting legal advice,' the acting registrar said in court.
She was granted an adjournment and will front the same court in a month.

The Kogarah clinic - which is now called Integrated Specialist Medical Care - offers a 'co-ordinated healthcare approach', with rheumatology, neurology and nephrology services.
'We a team of dedicated specialists specialising in the management of inflammatory joint disorders, neurological conditions and diseases and disorders of the kidneys,' the website reads.
'Our practitioners are skilled in diagnosis, making sense of your symptoms, providing you with an understanding of what’s wrong, but also helping you to understand how we can work together to restore you to good health.
The charges followed a lengthy investigation by detectives from St George police in Sydney's south.

Arabella rose to fame last year during her highly publicised split from football star Josh Reynolds.
The former couple met on Instagram in 2018 and had a one-night stand, after which she claimed she fell pregnant with twins.
It was later alleged that Arabella showed the NRL player a fraudulent ultrasound scan, which he claims she used to fake a pregnancy.
Reynolds was later charged with allegedly assaulting Del Busso during a domestic incident – with a video of a heated argument between the pair circulating online. The charges against the athlete were dropped in February 2020.
In October, the glamour model admitted on reality TV show SAS Australia that she had faked multiple pregnancies and miscarriages while dating the Wests Tigers five-eighth, 31, because she was afraid he'd break up with her.
