Chelsea striker Sam Kerr denied that calling a police officer "white" was used as an insult as she was cross-examined in her trial on Thursday on a charge of racially aggravated harassment.
Kerr, also the Australia captain, was speaking on the fourth day of the trial at Kingston Crown Court, following an incident in London on Jan. 30, 2023.
It is alleged that Kerr and her partner, West Ham United and United States women's national team midfielder Kristie Mewis, had been out drinking when they were driven to the police station by a taxi driver, who complained that they refused to pay cleanup costs after one of them was sick, and that one of them smashed the vehicle's rear window.
