Harry Garside’s ex Ash Ruscoe makes a savage one-word statement after she was charged with assaulting and stalking the Olympic boxer

Harry Garside’s ex Ash Ruscoe has made a telling comment about men on her dating profile as she faces accusations of assaulting and stalking the Olympic boxer.

Ruscoe has pleaded not guilty to common assault, stalking or intimidation and two charges of distributing intimate images of Garside following her arrest in the upmarket Sydney suburb of Bellevue Hill on June 12 last year.

That came after Garside was arrested at Sydney Airport as he returned to Australia after filming I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! on May 2 last year and was charged with domestic violence.

Garside vehemently denied any wrongdoing and both the assault charge and an application for an apprehended violence order were withdrawn.

With their 18-month relationship finally over, Ruscoe now uses dating app Hinge – and one comment on her profile seems telling against the backdrop of her legal battle over the boxer.

The wellness guru and boxing instructor answered a series of preset questions and statements to create her profile, including “I want someone who” and “The only thing I’d like to know about you is.”

In response to “Change your mind about,” Ruscoe simply replied, “Men.”

It comes after she also appeared to reference Garside – who made headlines when he wore nail polish on his way to winning bronze at the Tokyo Olympics – in a recent Instagram post, saying: ‘Ask your friend about gender norms to break through the toilet and cook instead of wearing nail polish’.

Ruscoe was excused from attending local court at Sydney’s Downing Center in July this year – while Garside was in Paris preparing for the Olympics – and was instead pictured sunbathing on the Greek island of Mykonos .

One video she posted to Instagram was accompanied by the description “I imagine this is what heaven looks like.”

Another image showed a chef preparing a shellfish dish and saying, “Let a man handle you with such care.”

Garside, through his legal team, gave permission to be identified as the subject of the images Ruscoe allegedly distributed.

The assault charge against Ruscoe relates to the same alleged altercation on March 1 over which Garside was charged and acquitted.

When the case went to trial last August, Ruscoe’s high-profile lawyer Bryan Wrench addressed the allegations over the intimate images.

Mr Wrench said his client had a photo on display in her living room of Garside posing in a purple wig given to her by him.

The photo had been seen by so many visitors to Ruscoe’s home that it could not be considered an intimate image and witnesses would confirm that, Mr Wrench said.

At another trial, Mr Wrench told a magistrate he was surprised his client had been charged with assault.

Earlier this month, Garside announced his new romance at the Melbourne Cup.

In August, Garside revealed he had met someone new and fallen in love, but only discovered her identity when he had an exclusive chat with Ny Breaking Australia during the race that holds a country back.

His new flame Sonny, 21, works in PR and said she met the boxer at a New Year’s Eve party.

“And I took her out on a date two weeks later,” Garside added.

The 27-year-old was left shattered when his Paris Games campaign ended with a loss in his first ever fight, but he said it didn’t stop him from getting back in the ring.

‘I think I will definitely continue boxing. “I still have the fire in my belly, but nothing is locked up until next year,” he said.
