I would go with answer #1. There is no need to repeat the "did you" unless it is for emphasis.

Hello!

I think those two are correct but the second one seems to me (I'm not sure) that would be used when the asker is expecting the answer to be 'I hated here her', whereas the first one is more 'neutral'; a an honest question just asking for information.

I am not fluent in English, it's just my impression but I hope it helps.

[Feel free to correct my English. Thank you]
