THE ex-girlfriend of Oscar Pistorius has told how the Olympian made her fear for her safety with his possessive and threatening behaviour.
In an interview aired tonight on Nine's A Current Affair, Samantha Taylor, 20, told of her 18-month relationship with the convicted killer and says "it could have been me".
Ms Taylor revealed details of her volatile relationship with the Blade Runner, describing his expression during one rage-fuelled incident as "pretty evil".
"It was like, 'I really hate you right now'," she said.
THE VERDICT: Oscar Pistorius guilty of culpable homicide

She said the heavy-drinking athlete — who had "a short fuse" — bit her and locked her up in his house while he went out.

The star athlete was initially charming and caring, bombarding her with loving text messages, Ms Taylor said.
She was just a Johannesburg schoolgirl and he was aged 23 when they met at a rugby match in 2010 and their relationship quickly became serious.
The photogenic couple were South Africa's answer to Posh and Becks — before, Ms Taylor said, the Olympian showed his dark side.

"He's got so many deep-rooted issues ... all those issues, they catch up with you," she said.
Ms Taylor said their relationship never recovered after a terrifying incident at a traffic intersection while Pistorius was driving.
The star athlete, she said, grabbed his gun from the glove compartment and fired it near her head, laughing at her reaction.
The couple's volatile union lasted for 18 months before he broke up with her — she believes he left her for Ms Steenkamp.
Before the verdict, Ms Taylor told talk show Good Morning Britain how Pistorius kept a gun "by his bedside or on the floor next to his legs".
She claims she hid his gun from him on one occasion as he had too much to drink.

"I didn't fear for my life in the sense that I thought he was going to hurt me, but I knew that there was a possibility having a gun around that it might go off," she said. "That's why I hid it."

Pistorius has always maintained he believed there was an intruder and he fired the shots in fear of his life — and did not believe Steenkamp was in the bathroom.
