A sexy Scores “massage girl” has pulled back the curtain on Manhattan’s most famous jiggle joint, revealing what it’s like to cater to the fantasies of horny guys who treat their hired companions like dogs as they down $600 bottles of champagne.

“A lot of these are married men. A lot of them have families at home, and this is like their getaway,” former entertainer Karina Pascucci said in an interview on TV show “Crime Watch Daily.”

The 26-year-old brunette — who is expected to be sentenced to jail time after pleading guilty Friday to scamming clubgoers out of cash — insists her job was only to give massages at the skin palace. She said the rubdowns were purely non-erotic and she never gave lap dances — but that didn’t mean she wasn’t part of the sexy entertainment.

“Everyone has a role there and men come in for . . . it’s like a fantasy,” she said. “They want to unwind. The girls are there to work.”

When asked exactly what a massage girl does, Pascucci insisted there were no happy endings.

“Just, um, you’re not allowed to take your clothes off,” she told the TV show’s correspondent, Jason Mattera. “You just give massages on the dance floor. You sit and talk and you say, ‘Hey, I can hang out with you — order a bottle of champagne.’ Do I think it’s morally correct? No, not at all. I don’t condone it. It is what it is.”

The Metuchen, NJ, resident was speaking in her first public interview about her role in an alleged stripper scam. According to law enforcement, Pascucci was one of four conniving vixens who met their marks in bars, slipped them drugs and went to Scores or other clubs.

The women, including alleged ringleader Samantha Barbash, swiped their targets’ credit cards for lap dances, rounds of champagne and generous tips, according to law enforcement.

Despite pleading guilty to fraud and conspiracy on Oct. 23, Pascucci told “Crime Watch Daily” she was the real victim of a strip-club regular who didn’t want to face the bill for his partying.

“The girls knew him from before, and they knew he was a big spender,” she said about New Jersey doctor Zyad Younan, who is suing Pascucci and Scores. “I think everybody should take responsibility for what happened.”

The Scores girls took Younan “to get bottles [and] to get a private room . . . That’s how you make the most money [at] a gentleman’s club,” she said. Around $130,000 in American Express charges later, the doctor was not so happy.

“He texted me and he said, ‘I’m going to get you guys for this,’ ” Pascucci said of the encounters that took place in the fall of 2013.

Younan’s attorney, Michael Weinstein, told The Post his client denies the allegations.

Pascucci will be sentenced in the coming weeks. The interview will air Thursday at 2 p.m. on WPIX.
