Ronnie Wood's Russian bargirl refutes 'gold digger' claims

Washington, July 27 : Ronnie Wood's girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova has hit out at reports suggesting that she's attracted to the ageing rocker because of his money.

The Rolling Stone star entered rehab on 16July for the second time in a month amid rumours he had left his longterm wife, Jo, and had a booze-fuelled fling with a 20-year-old waitress Ivanova.

It has been reported Ivanova had worked as a prostitute and only dated 61-year-old Wood because of his wealth.

But she has strongly refuted the claims.

"They're calling me a Russian slut but if that's the case I'd be with a rich businessman, not Ronnie," Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.

"I'm not a prostitute and I've never worked in an escort bar.

"We're in love, we're completely in love," she added.
