Ryan Giggs's ex tells trial she felt like a "slave" in their relationship
Kate Greville told the jury that when Giggs told her to do something, she would do it, fearing "consequences"
The ex-girlfriend of former Manchester United footballer Ryan Giggs has told a court she became a "slave to his every need and demand".
Kate Greville told the jury on Wednesday that when he told her to do something, she would do it, "otherwise there was consequences".
Giggs, 48, denies using controlling and coercive behaviour against Ms Greville, 36, between August 2017 and November 2020, assaulting her, causing actual bodily harm, and the common assault of her younger sister, Emma.
The court heard that Ms Greville gave a statement the day before the start of the trial in which she said she had felt like "a slave" to the defendant.
She said: "That is what it felt like. When Ryan said do something, I would do it."
Ms Greville agreed that she has made a number of witness statements to police following the alleged assault in November 2020, including two in the last week.
Mr Daw asked: "In the course of those statements, did you tell the police the whole truth?"
She replied: "100%."
Mr Daw said: "Have you ever told any lies to the police about anything?"
Ms Greville replied: "No."
The barrister went on: "Have you ever told lies to anyone else - your family and friends - in relation to this case?"
She repeated: "No."
On Tuesday, Ms Greville told a jury that Giggs grabbed her by the shoulders and headbutted her in November 2020 after she earlier confronted him about his serial cheating.
She said in the lead-up to the alleged assault, she had learned he had had "full-on relationships" with eight women while they were together.
The discovery of messages "going back years" on the former Wales international's iPad prompted her to decide to leave him, she said.
The trial continues.
