Grammy-winning R&B singer Ashanti defiantly faced her accused stalker for the second time at his retrial in Manhattan court Thursday as the creep acted as his own lawyer and giddily interrogated her.
"I tweeted at you, 'Eating p—y from the back tastes better on a flight to Russia,'" Devar Hurd, 36, excitedly stated about the 2013 message he sent, in violation of a restraining order. "Do you know what I'm talking about?"
"Yeah, I saw the tweet, I saw a lot of these tweets as a result of this whole entire situation," the seething songstress answered.
Ashanti, 34, wearing black slacks, a gray blazer and sporting wavy black locks, looked visibly annoyed at being dragged back into court.
"Are all these tweets familiar because of the situation, and you repeatedly violating the law and having me come back here? Yes," the Glen Cove, L.I. native testified.
Ashanti told jurors in Manhattan Supreme Court before Justice Roger Hayes that the pornographic messages made her feel, "disgusted, disrespected" and "scared" for her and her family's safety.
Hurd — convicted in 2009 of stalking and harassment for sending crotch-shots to Ashanti's mom — is on trial for writing the R&B crooner hundreds of sexually explicit tweets and posing for a picture with her little sister in violation of a restraining order.
Ashanti testified last year but the judge was forced to declare a mistrial when a juror became sick during deliberations.
"This is something that has been in my life for a while, and it is interrupting what I'm doing, and I feel like it's coming from such a malicious, evil place," she said. "I have a career and family, and it's taking a toll on us."
At one point, prosecutor Rachel Ehrhardt asked the singer whether she ever had a romantic relationship with Hurd.
"Absolutely not, never ever," she replied, prompting Hurd to smile and smirk sarcastically, clearly offended by her answer.
Hurd later grilled Ashanti on whether the two had ever met. She insisted that the first time had been in court last year.
"Back in 2003, we didn't meet in Chicago?" he creepily asked. "We didn't meet at that event, you had on white pants, a bikini-type top?"
"I didn't meet you," she answered coolly.
Ashanti didn't realize her stalker had returned until a fan pointed out Hurd in an October 2012 picture that he snapped of himself posing with her little sister at an event.
She then combed through her Twitter account and realized the loon had sent her hundreds of explicit tweets from a handle she didn't initially recognize.
