Jennifer Arcuri has boasted that men fall in love with her in minutes, as she launched into a ­furious denial over claims she had a fling with Boris Johnson.

The US businesswoman insisted she and the PM were just friends during his time as London Mayor, when she was given taxpayer money for projects and access to trade missions.

It comes after friends had claimed Ms Arcuri told them she did have an affair with Mr Johnson and they first “got together” in a New York hotel.

But in a rambling, expletive-laden rebuttal, the 34-year-old said the pair’s ­relationship was never sexual.

She added: “Men just trip over ­themselves in front of me.

“They fall in love with me in about 10 minutes… because I know what to say. I make men trip over their d**ks.

“That’s what happens. They go insane around me. They’ve been doing it for years. It’s just what happens.”

And Ms Arcuri branded rumours of an affair with Mr Johnson, 55, “complete bulls**t”.

She admitted he visited her home in Shoreditch, East London, but said: “If I was banging the dude and there was some kind of, like trail or sex tape, but there’s nothing.

"There is a human side of my very complex relationship. This is not a Monica Lewinsky.

“The allegations are false and I am a legitimate ­businesswoman.”

The police watchdog has been asked to investigate Mr ­Johnson’s links to former model Ms Arcuri amid claims she may have gotten favourable treatment along with £126,000 of public funds.

But she also denied their friendship was politically motivated.

And she claimed “some f***ing Labour ­government affairs dude” and the Greater London Authority were behind the “smear” she is now caught up in.

Mr Arcuri said: “He spoke at my event. He’s been after me for ever. I’m not ­anti-Labour.

"I couldn’t care less. I want the party that cares about business. That’s all that matters.

“If it was [current Mayor] Sadiq Khan, I would’ve been just as… I didn’t care.

“It was just when I saw Boris speak, he made people come together and laugh in ways I had never seen a politician. As the Mayor, he attracted both sides.

“He got the good old dude that just wanted to sit down and have a pint with him.

"Do you know many men tripped over their d**ks jealous of me because I got to have a beer with Boris Johnson?

"I have only wanted to build a business in the UK and somebody has gone to great lengths.

"They’re trying to bring Boris down, right? That is the only reason.”

Miss Arcuri told how she is in Los Angeles after being asked by the British embassy to attend a business event.

The mum-of-one added: “You know, I came over here[to the States]. What did I do? I f***ing rocked up to the British embassy. ‘Hi, I’m a British business here to do an event'.

"Never mind Brexit . I was extremely proactive. That’s why the embassy wanted to do an event with me.

“They didn’t stop and go, ‘Wait a minute, did you f*** Boris Johnson?

"You know, but only if he agrees and gives you special favouritism are we allowed to do it. This is absolute c**p.

“I can’t speak for the Brexit thing, and I remember when he sat down and told me about it, I just told him, this isn’t mine.

"This is the thing you guys make this. I didn’t try to, like, use Brexit to my benefit or anything.”

Ms Arcuri insisted Mr Johnson, who was Mayor of London from 2008 to 2016, only visited her East End home because he was “naive” when it came to ­technology.

She said: “Why wouldn’t he be? ­Everybody else was in London.

“I had the best f***ing flat in East London. The reason why Boris would stopover was because of the clusterf*** of emails.

“And he was like, ‘Jen, what the f***’s a Google hangout? Where are you at three o’clock, I can, you know, stop over.

“You can tell me what the hell is going on. That’s what, that’s what it is.

“And I’m so f***ing tired. All this stuff. Lover? It’s bulls**t.

“You know, David Cameron announced, ‘I’m doing tech city,’ Right? And in Boris’s city. Right. And that’s how I got them to pay attention.”

Asked if Mr Johnson has been in touch with her since the scandal emerged, Ms Arcuri replied: “No. Can you blame him?”

She told how she had been sent 97 pages of paperwork about being given public money.

But she added: “They’re like freedom of information requests and it’s like, it’s nothing. There’s nothing dodgy in those.”

Mr Johnson has insisted there was “no interest to declare” regarding his links to Ms Arcuri.

But in an interview he refused three times to deny they had an affair.

He said: “Everything was done with complete propriety.”
