A second stripper has come forward alleging she was grabbed, spat on and harassed by Chiefs players.
It comes after another stripper known as Scarlette told Story on Thursday night she was encircled and intimidated by players when she performed for them earlier this week. Police Commissioner Mike Bush confirmed on Friday they are now talking to Scarlette over the sexual assault claims.
The woman, who wishes to be known as Laura, said she performed for the Chiefs during last year's end-of-season 'Mad Monday' celebrations.
"I was trying to dance and they were all surrounding me. I asked them several times to back off and give me space - they ended up spitting alcohol all over me [and] touching me inappropriately," she said.
"[They were] grabbing my arse and after that I'd asked them not to."
Laura said she was touched inappropriately by at least 10 different players after telling them they didn't have consent.
"I'm trying to dance and they're in a tight circle and I can't move - and everyone in that circle's just grabbing, just putting their hands in."
Laura says she told the players their behaviour was not appropriate, and that she couldn't do her job while they were behaving in that manner - but they refused to settle down.
"I was only doing a strip - so I did three songs, I grabbed my stuff and left. I didn't stick around - they had asked me to as well, but I said no.
"They were just full on in my face the whole time. All of their comments were, 'Oh, look at this filthy slut' or whatever - it was just unnecessary behaviour."
Laura said she made it clear she never wanted to do a job for the Chiefs again.
"It's a sad day when I'd rather do a job for a gang than rugby players.
"I think they get together and a pack mentality comes out that they can do whatever they want because their boys are going to back them, especially when it comes to us.
"Because what are we? We're nothing compared to them - they're celebrities."
The Chiefs are already under investigation for their treatment of a stripper at this year's end-of-season party, and police have confirmed they are trying to get in contact with Scarlette over the allegations she made.
"I didn't come forward earlier because I knew no one would really listen, so I think it's very brave that Scarlette has, and I back her 100 percent - I think what she's doing is right."
The Chiefs have been approached for comment.
