Today one of the stars said Oliveira pulled down her underwear and massaged her buttocks during an appointment in 2021.
She told Birmingham Crown Court there was no obvious reason for Oliveira to do this – leaving her completely exposed for half an hour.
The star said Oliveira later pressed himself up against her in a sexual manner.
A filmed police interview with the second reality star, who is in her 30s, was played to the court today.
The star said she booked some massages with Oliveira after undergoing liposuction surgery.
A colleague accompanied her to the first four sessions – but at the fifth she was alone.
She told cops: “I felt really, really uncomfortable. He massaged my bum for around four seconds.
“Then he moved on to my legs, but he kept my knickers down the whole time, for about half an hour.
“It was one of those things when you think, ‘I don’t think anyone should touch me like this, apart from my mum’.
“He had no reason to be touching me on my bum. I was almost naked for no rhyme or reason.”
The star added: “I didn’t even need to be naked for the actual surgery.”
When the star told her friend about the alleged ordeal, they asked if it was part of the massage.
She said: “I thought, ‘That’s the best cloak to hide what you are doing’, but I knew it wasn’t right.”
The woman said she did not initially come forward because she wrongly believed the “onus” was on her to tell Oliveira to stop.
But when other women accused him of sexual assault, she felt “empowered” to open up.
Paul Williams, representing Oliveira, asked the woman if she had been in conversations appear in a documentary “about the case”.
The star said: “It was mentioned.”
But she added that the discussions were not part of promoting herself or her reality TV profile.
She said appearing in the documentary could “empower just one person, who thought the onus was on them, to come forward”.
Last week another reality TV star said she was left “petrified” after Oliveira allegedly groped her during a 2019 appointment.
The masseur is also accused of showing the star “lots” of naked pics of other clients, including at least three celebs.
Oliveira allegedly assaulted the TV star, who can’t be named, when he came to her home in June 2019 for a lymphatic drainage massage.
She told Birmingham Crown Court she was left “petrified” when he groped her while breathing “in a sexual way”.
The alleged victim added: “I did not know whether it could get any worse. There was nothing I could do about it.”
She told jurors the alleged sexual assault felt like it lasted “an eternity”.
The woman added: “Everything just stood still. It felt like a really long time.”
She said once the session ended, Oliveira asked her if she was OK because she had seemed “a bit unsure”.
The woman then called her sister and husband and told them she had been sexually assaulted, the court heard.
Jurors were told she had met Oliveira before the alleged attack when the massage technique was recommended to her to help her recover from cosmetic surgery.
He came to the woman’s home while her husband was there and it was agreed he would give the massage for free if she promoted him on Instagram.
She said he used his iPad to take pictures of her for “before and after” photos.
The TV star added: “He also showed me lots of pictures of other women.
“There were other reality TV contestants, at least three were celebs. There were naked pictures.”
Oliveira is accused of carrying out the alleged assaults between March 2019 and July 2021.
Jurors have been told he used the “cover of massage” to assault the ten women.
Oliveira, who has offices across the country, denies 22 counts of sexual assault and six other serious sexual offences.
The trial continues.
