She said they were looking for Machiha, who allegedly uploaded naked pictures of the complainant to the social networking site Instagram.
Miss Taylor said the pair, who had been drinking heavily, banged on the door and both urinated on the doorstep after an “altercation” with those inside.
She told the jury: “At the time I was very drunk and I was very angry.
“It is disgusting behaviour, it is not something I would normally do.”
She said the three defendants attacked her as she went into a different block of flats to visit her friend the next day, June 29, 2013.
She said Blackstock-Nero and Machiha used a metal pole to hit her in the ribs, back, arms and legs and she was also kicked while she lay on the floor.
She alleges Blackstock-Nero stole her mobile phone and bank card, which she denies. The trial continues.
