Model: Hedgie dumped me & gave me STD

- BY NICOLE HENSLEY

A JILTED mistress got a venereal disease from her rich, married boyfriend — and now she wants $15 million, according to a lawsuit.

Former German beauty queen Aline Massel wound up with a case of human papillomav­irus after her two-year affair with billionair­e hedge funder Robert Gibbins, the CEO of Autonomy Capital, the suit says.

Their relationsh­ip soured after Massel learned she was pregnant in 2016, she claimed in court papers filed Friday in Manhattan Supreme Court. Before that, court papers said, the couple hit a rough patch when she found out her beau was married and his wife chimed in with jeering texts.

The two met at Manhattan’s posh Le Bilboquet restaurant in June 2014, according to those documents. Massel’s suit says Gibbins, 47, claimed to be a bachelor during a romantic rendezvous with her in Brazil.

He showered the model with expensive gifts and promises, she says in her court papers, including an over-the-top vow to buy a British Columbia ranch and an ostrich farm in Uganda for her and their future children. He wanted four kids.

Massel, 31, learned the truth about her new love when she started getting text messages from Gibbins’ pregnant wife, Ipek Gibbins. “You are not the first and will not be the last,” read one.

Massel says Gibbins promised to divorce his wife, but changed his mind in July 2016 after the model got pregnant. Gibbins then pressured her to have an abortion, according to the suit, and his wife allegedly wrote, “You will get no money. Have the baby if you want it so much. I cannot wait to see you getting fat and ugly.”

Massel had the abortion in January, according to court papers.

Attempts to reach Gibbins’ lawyer were unsuccessf­ul.
