Kelly Higgins appeared frustrated in the Federal Court on Monday afternoon as she was questioned by Bruce Lehrmann's lawyer, Steven Whybrow SC.
Mr Whybrow read out a series of text messages to Kelly which showed they appeared to be in a fractured relationship in 2021, after Brittany Higgins appeared on The Project.
One message read: “You choose to cut me out.”
“If I was Lisa Wilkinson or a journalist, no problem, I'm just your mother.”
She also told the court about the moment her daughter told her about her alleged abuse.
'It was later that year, November 21, 2019, Brittany traveled to Queensland and visited myself and my ex-partner invited her for dinner, we took her to a restaurant, we sat at the dining table in an open restaurant and Brittany I decided at that time to share the details of what had occurred,” Kelly said.
She explained her daughter's allegations in court and appeared upset and angry.
