A former reality TV star and controversial ex-WAG has been left feeling 'broken, defeated, and helpless' after facing multiple threats while serving time in the clink for pinching $52,000.
Arabella Del Busso, once close to the glitz and glamour, now found herself on the wrong side of the law, sporting a prison-issued green T-shirt and shorts as she faced the NSW District Court via a live link, looking as down and out as a footy team in the final minutes of a grand final.
Del Busso, who had traded in the red carpet for a receptionist job at Rheumatology Specialist Care in Kogarah and Randwick, pulled off a sneaky play to pocket a hefty sum of cash between September 2019 and February 2020, racking up over $52,000 by convincing clients to cough up in cold hard cash instead of swiping their cards.
The former NRL WAG, now more accustomed to the slammer than the spotlight, found herself in hot water after being convicted of two counts of theft as an employee.
A once colorful character in the media, now facing the harsh reality of being behind bars.
It's a sad chapter in the life of a reality TV personality who's now facing a reality check in a very different kind of arena.
