THE woman who claims Jarryd Hayne twice raped her in her bedroom at Fletcher has broken down on the stand during his trial, telling the former NRL star "you're a f---ing piece of shit" as she walked from the courtroom.
Moments earlier the woman, who cannot be identified, had objected to a line of questioning from Mr Hayne's defence barrister, Phillip Boulten, SC, and told him: "It's irrelevant. No means f---ing no." The woman fought back tears and wanted to continue being cross-examined, repeating the words "I'm good", but Judge Peter Whitford, SC, asked her to step down and take a break.
It was when she was walking from the courtroom, in full view of the jury, that the woman turned to Mr Hayne and said "you're a f---ing piece of shit".
After a five-minute break the woman apologised and resumed giving evidence, but later again became frustrated telling Mr Boulten: "I know exactly what happened and so does he".
It's irrelevant. No means f---ing no. You're a f---ing piece of shit.
The woman said while giving evidence and then abused Jarryd Hayne while leaving the courtroom.
"You're making that up," the woman said to Mr Boulten. "He is making me out to be a liar."
Before the woman's emotional breakdown, which came late on Wednesday on what was her second day giving evidence, the woman had repeatedly stressed that she had not wanted to meet up with Mr Hayne just to have sex. She reached out to him on Instagram to tell him he was "absolutely gorgeous" and the pair quickly began exchanging flirty and sexually explicit messages.
But the woman said she just wanted to meet the former NRL star for coffee or breakfast while he was in Newcastle for a fellow rugby league player's bucks weekend in a bid to try to get to know him and in the hope they might form a connection. "I didn't say come over to my house, let's have sex," the woman said. "I never suggested that. "I asked him to coffee in a public place."
But when breakfast came and went without the pair meeting up, they eventually arranged to meet at the woman's house at Fletcher on the night of the 2018 NRL grand final.
After an awkward interaction in her bedroom, during which Mr Hayne serenaded her with Ed Sheeran covers, the woman became aware that Mr Hayne had kept a taxi waiting outside to continue driving him back to Sydney.
The woman says that after realising he wasn't planning on staying long and was just after sex, she resolved not to have any sexual interaction with him.
But she claims he forced himself on her on her bed, tried to kiss her and then pulled off her pants before engaging in two sexual acts that left blood on her bed and Mr Hayne's face.
The woman said she was reluctant to go to police about Mr Hayne "because he would have the money to ruin me".
The trial continues.
