Footballers would routinely "hook up" with girls using Facebook as a dating site before "courting" them with sexually explicit photos and texts, the District Court in Sydney heard yesterday.
The court was shown unaired ABC footage in which Ms Palavi listed pornographic videos, suggestive messages and pictures of scantily clad footballers that numerous high-profile players had sent her.
The 41-year-old mother of three, who has confessed to sexual liaisons with several professional footballers, told the court she first met one high-profile player she later had a relationship with through Myspace or Facebook.
She later received a video from the representative player's phone of him masturbating - something she said she "didn't want to see".
Texts allegedly from another first-grade footballer that said "f ... I'm always horny".
Ms Palavi is suing 2UE for defamation after on-air comments former presenter Steve Price and entertainment reporter Peter Ford made in 2009.
She claims they wrongly suggested she was running a brothel service connecting NRL players and underage girls for sex.
The broadcast followed a tell-all interview by Ms Palavi on ABC's Four Corners in which she revealed NRL players used Facebook to pick up girls.
In an excerpt played to the court, Ms Palavi told interviewer Sarah Ferguson: "I have players contacting me going 'I'm getting a lot of friend requests from your page, they're all female, they're all hot, keep them coming'."
In never-screened footage she identified the source of the comment as a prominent footballer who she yesterday said was the only player who asked her to "keep them coming".
"I wasn't keeping anything coming.
"Girls would friend request me and then they would in turn go through my friend list and friend request (the player)," she said.
In more unseen footage, Ms Palavi likened Facebook to online dating service RSVP.
She said anyone who couldn't "pick up" on the site "wasn't trying".
"Facebook gives these players access to a heap of girls at once," she said.
"Especially the married (players), the ones with partners, they don't have to be seen going up to girls in pubs or in clubs."
Ms Palavi denied in the court yesterday any footballers had approached her to contact women on her Facebook page or that her profile was being used to help women meet players for sex.
The defamation hearing continues before a jury today.
