Moment Chelsea star calls cop ‘f****** stupid & white’ after ‘row over taxi fare on drunken night out with partner’

THIS is the moment Chelsea star Sam Kerr called a cop “f***ing stupid and white” after a row over a taxi fare erupted on a night out, a court heard.

The 31-year-old was out with her partner – fellow footballer Kristie Mewis – when one was sick in the cab and the other smashed a window, it was said.

Kingston Crown Court heard the pair were taken to Twickenham Police Station by the driver after refusing to pay clean-up costs.

Once there, Kerr, who is currently sidelined from Chelsea with an ACL injury, allegedly became “abusive and insulting” towards Pc Stephen Lovell.

Footage played to jurors showed the footballer saying: “Honestly, you guys are f***ing stupid and white”.

She also reference Sarah Everard’s murder – telling the officer: “Look at what happened last year when a girl accepted a police officer’s help in Clapham and got raped and killed.”

At one point in the bodycam video, Kerr brands the taxi driver a “f***ing liar” and calls him a “stupid c***”.

Prosecutor Bill Emlyn Jones KC said the police officer was left “shocked, upset and humiliated” by the comments.

He added: “He took offence to the comments that Ms Kerr made about his race because you may think that his being a white man really had nothing to do with anything.”

Australia international Kerr has pleaded not guilty to racially aggravated harassment.

The court heard she described the moment on January 30, 2023, as “heated” and said she was “just very angry at how I felt”.

Mr Jones added: “Ms Kerr said that both herself and Ms Mewis were crying at the time.”

Kerr’s lawyer Grace Forbes told jurors that no one disputes the words that were used but that they do not “make you guilty of a criminal offence”.

She continued: “The words were a comment, however poorly expressed, about positions of power, about privilege, and how those things might colour perception.”

Kerr has scored 99 goals in 128 matches since joining Chelsea in 2019.

During her time there, the team has won four Women’s Super League titles, three FA Cups, two Women’s League Cups and the Women’s Community Shield.

But the striker was crocked in January last year at the club’s warm weather training camp in Morocco.

Kerr is her country’s all-time record goalscorer with 64 goals in 125 games for the Matildas.

She has also been nominated for the Ballon d’Or Féminin – the top prize in women’s football – every year since its inception in 2018.

Kerr is in a relationship with fellow footballer Kristie, with the couple getting engaged last year.

They announced in November they are expecting a baby together.

The trial continues.
