A hairdresser who slashed through her ex-boyfriend’s flyscreen to crawl into bed with him has fronted a court on assault charges.
Paris Coudounellis, 20, broke into her ex’s house last June before causing $1,200 in damage to his car following an argument weeks later.
She appeared at Waverley Local Court on Wednesday wearing a red Gucci belt and dress pants before pleading guilty to three counts of damaging property and one count of common assault.
She also pleaded guilty to breaching an apprehended violence order (AVO) protecting her ex, Luke Paterson.
Paterson had been her boyfriend for two years before the split.
Documents revealed Paterson heard scratching at his bedroom window on the night she broke in, but could not locate its source.
Later that night, Coudounellis sliced open two flyscreens and crawled into his house.
She then climbed into bed with Paterson without stirring him from his sleep.

She was only discovered the following morning when Paterson’s mother walked into his room.
Later that month, Paterson took his mother’s Mercedes Benz to work in Coogee, east Sydney and parked outside the Coogee Surf Life-saving Club.
There, Coudounellis entered the car, began crying, and accused Paterson of being with another woman.
The hairdresser then began kicking the inside of the car, causing about $1,200 in damage to the internal dials and air conditioning vents.
In August, Coudounellis and Paterson were at Anytime Fitness in Kensington, Sydney, when they began fighting.
He left the gym to go home and shut the door on Coudounellis upon arrival.
The hairdresser then pulled the flyscreen panel from Paterson’s bedroom window and told him: ‘I’m not leaving until you come outside to talk to me.’

An argument ensued for an hour and police arrested and charged Coudounellis later in August.
On Wednesday, the case was adjourned for six weeks to allow time for a sentencing assessment report.
Coudounellis will face court again in June.
Following a separate alleged incident in March this year, Coudounellis reported an assault to Maroubra police.
She alleged Paterson knocked on her bedroom window after midnight on her birthday, and she allowed him to climb in.
Police documents stated Paterson allegedly choked Coudounellis during the visit.
When she reported the alleged incident, Maruobra police noticed she had breached the standing AVO, leading to her own arrest.
