The Daily Mail's narrative is a bit more detailed, for what it's worth.
Nothing particularly new, but bit that stood out for me was when she said that because they were two
women then the should be believed over the driver
Sounds about right...

Ms Kerr is alleged to have become 'abusive and insulting' towards PC Stephen Lovell when at the station.
Footage from PC Lovell's body-worn camera was played to a jury sitting at Kingston Crown Court on Monday, in which Kerr tells PC Lovell: 'Honestly, you guys are f***ing stupid and white.'
The video starts with Kerr arguing with PC Lovell over a phone call with the police.
Kerr said the police 'hung up on us', leading PC Lovell to respond 'they wouldn't do that'.
At this point Kerr makes the outburst calling the officer 'stupid and white'.
The officer then arrests Kerr on suspicion of criminal damage and racially aggravated public order.
He said that arrest came after 'the comments you just said'.
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.'
Prosecutor Bill Emlyn Jones KC told the jury: 'The defendant's comments towards PC Lovell left him shocked, upset and humiliated.
'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.'
The prosecutor added: 'Ms Kerr denied that she intended to cause PC Lovell harassment, alarm or distress.
'She said: "I was just very angry at how I felt."
'She described the entire situation as distressing and "a heated moment".
'Ms Kerr said that both herself and Ms Mewis were crying at the time.'
Ms Kerr, of Richmond, pleaded not guilty to the offence at Kingston Upon Thames Crown Court on March 4, 2024.
Grace Forbes, defending the footballer, told jurors on Monday: 'Nobody disputes the words that were said.
'But simple words, even words like these, do not make you guilty of a criminal offence.'
'The words were a comment, however poorly expressed, about positions of power, about privilege and how those things might colour perception.
'Sam Kerr did not feel hostile towards this officer, because he is white.
'You will hear from Sam Kerr in due course. You will also hear a little about who she is, from those that know her best.
'Keep an open mind, all the way through. Don't form a fixed view until you have heard all the evidence.'
Kerr and Ms Mewis had been drinking on the night of January 29, 2023, when they decided to take a taxi home in the early hours of the next day, the prosecution told.
The taxi driver later called the police to complain that a woman inside his taxi was trying to smash the rear window.
The operator advised the driver to pull up outside Twickenham police station and to seek the assistance of police officers there.
PC Lovell and a fellow officer were in a marked police vehicle driving towards the station and arrived at about 2.20am - roughly the same time as the taxi.
Mr Emlyn Jones said: 'They noticed smashed glass in the road and saw that a taxi was parked outside the police station.
'The driver of the taxi sounded his horn to alert the officers and then pulled his taxi to a stop behind their vehicle.
'The officers saw Ms Kerr crawling out of the broken rear window of the taxi.'
Ms Kerr and Ms Mewis approached the police car, both in a 'distressed state'.
The prosecution continued: 'Inside the police station, Ms Kerr explained that the taxi driver had collected them but then refused to take them to Ms Kerr's address.
'They felt that the taxi driver was kidnapping them and so they broke the rear window in order to escape and raise the alarm.'
PC Lovell went back outside to inspect the damage to the taxi.
He saw that not only was the rear window smashed but that the piece of plastic that separates the driver in the front from the passengers in the rear had also been damaged.
The taxi driver explained to an officer that one of his passengers had been sick in the rear.
Mr Emlyn Jones continued: 'He had asked them to pay for the cost of cleaning it up and they refused.
'It was at that point that he had called the police.'
Jurors were shown half an hour of police body worn footage from PC Stephen Lovell.
Kerr can be heard on the body-worn footage saying: 'You guys are f***ing stupid if you believe him over two women.'Look at what happened last year when a girl accepted a police officer's help in Clapham and got raped and killed.
'Both of us are very scared.
'We had been driving round in his car for 20 minutes, we rang 911, we were very scared, we spoke to someone, we were trying to speak to someone.
'He kept stopping and speeding up, stopping and speeding up, one of your people killed and raped a female last year in Clapham, 20 minutes from here.'
Sarah Everard was kidnapped by Wayne Couzens in Clapham on 3 March, 2021, and later murdered by the Met Police officer.
Kerr could also be heard saying on the footage: 'That is f***ing bullshit, he is a f***ing liar.
'Why are you listening to him over us two? This stupid c**t would not let us go.'On the night of the incident, PC Lovell went back into the police station to speak to Ms Kerr and Ms Mewis about the taxi driver's account.
Mr Emlyn Jones continued: 'PC Lovell tried a number of times to explain to Ms Kerr and Ms Mewis what the taxi driver had said but they would not let him speak and kept interrupting him every time he tried.
'The defendant used her mobile telephone to show PC Lovell the contents of her bank account as if to say, "look, I could easily afford to pay for any damage to the taxi" if she wanted to.'
'PC Lovell felt that Ms Kerr was showing off her wealth and he felt somewhat belittled.'
The Chelsea star can be heard on body camera footage claiming she had tried to call the police herself when in the taxi but they had hung up on her.
When PC Lovell replied 'they wouldn't do that', Ms Kerr said 'oh my God... honestly, you guys are f***ing stupid and white' and then again, 'you guys are f***ing stupid and white'.
Ms Kerr then looked up at PC Lovell and said: 'I'm looking you in the eyes, I'm looking you in the eyes, you guys are f***ing stupid, I'm f***ing over this s***'
The five-day trial continues tomorrow.
Scotland Yard previously said: 'Samantha Kerr of Richmond was charged on 21 January with a racially aggravated offence under Section 4A Public Order Act 1986.
'The charge relates to an incident involving a police officer who was responding to a complaint involving a taxi fare on 30 January 2023 in Twickenham.'
