So they went back to the apartment.
They were in their swimwear.
Charlotte helped Amanda into the shower while she ran a bath.
Then on Charlotte's telling of the story, she jumped in the bath because she was cold.
Amanda couldn't warm up.
So she jumped in the bath as well, still wearing their bathing suits.
And that began a whole range of issues.
The next day, Rebel says that Charlotte complained to her that she felt uncomfortable when she was asked to have a bath and a shower.
Charlotte says that she never complained and she was never uncomfortable.
And that's the genesis of the court case that just wrapped up on Friday here in Sydney.
So about 12 months after the film finished shooting, Rebel began putting posts on Instagram.
There were a whole range of them, and they contain a number of what Charlotte's team says are defamatory imputations.
Basically, their case is that she painted her out to be a liar who changed her story about the complaint in order to gain benefit for herself.
And they also say that Rebel's posts painted her as a woman for sale.
She's been seriously affected by this according to what she said in court and in her affidavit.
She said that she's been unable to sleep, she's been unable to eat.
She also hasn't had any acting work since these posts were made.
The Great Gatsby premiered before Rebel made these posts and she hasn't had any acting work since then.
Rebel's team say that there's no way of knowing whether she would have got any acting work anyway and she also did sign a recording deal prior to all this happening and she's continued releasing singles.
So the first week of the trial was mainly Charlotte's witnesses, including Charlotte herself.
