Disgraced Wag Arabella Del Busso reveals she was threatened with KNIFE in prison and ‘felt violated’ by strip searches
JAILED Wag Arabella Del Busso claims she's been threatened with a knife inside and feels "traumatised and violated" by strip searches.
The ex-partner of rugby league hero Josh Reynolds was sentenced to 20 months in February for stealing from an employer.
The lingerie model, who is also a boxer, has revealed her daily struggle with "anxiety and fear" in prison in Sydney Down Under.
Daily Mail Australia disclosed details from a handwritten letter the former reality TV star penned behind bars.
Del Busso, 34, says she was "threatened with being stabbed" by a fellow female prisoner.
And she told of her distress over intimate body checks each week.

She wrote: "The strip searches ... have not only been traumatising but have made me feel violated due to having to remove my clothing in front of two officers.
"One stands in front of you and one other behind you, you are then required to lift up your bra and show your breasts.
"Then either pull your underwear down to your knees or completely off, bend over spread your bum cheeks and lift one foot up at a time."
Del Busso has so far served two months inside, having been locked up after admitting two counts of stealing from Sydney's Rheumatology Specialist Care company.
She took $52,000 - around £27k - between September 2019-September 2020 by asking customers to pay in cash rather than by card.
Del Busso says she is still struggling to come to terms with life inside.
She added: "Every day I feel such anxiety and fear about how I will just get through the day."
Her Sydney-born former boyfriend Reynolds, also 34, played rugby league for Hull FC in the Super League in 2021-22.
He started and ended his career with National Rugby League giants Canterbury Bulldogs Down Under, also featuring for Wests Tigers.
