Why She Couldn't Fit
00:03:04
|
|
| This chick was trying to get into a small vehicle and I want to play the video clip for you. | |
| Clip number 24, por favor, Mr. McConnell. | |
| Blanding tells us she was just trying to get to a Detroit Lions watch party this month when her lift rolled up. | |
| As I'm walking, I see him, like, making faces or whatever. | |
| I'm like, oh, man. | |
| She already knew. | |
| I can fit in this car. | |
| No, believe me, it's him. | |
| Yes, I can. | |
| Believe me. | |
| He told her there's not enough room in his car. | |
| The kicker part was when he started to talk about his tires. | |
| You know, I feel like that was a slap in the face. | |
| That was like my tires, you know, like. | |
| The driver said his tires could not handle her weight. | |
| Every big person you turn on because they can't fit in your car? | |
| Yeah, because they need to order the Uber XL. | |
| No, I don't ever have to order Uber XL. | |
| He apologized, canceled the ride and left her there. | |
| The rapper says she's pretty tough. | |
| Dank DeMoss, as she's known at the mic, is crushed by the whole situation. | |
| It really hurt my feelings. | |
| It looks like a lift might be hurting pretty soon too. | |
| I knew it was illegal and I knew that it was wrong. | |
| Her attorneys John Marco and Zack Runyon say weight is a protected characteristic in Michigan by law. | |
| It would be no different than a driver pulling up and saying, you know, I don't want to have black people in my car or I don't want to have Christians in my car or Muslims in my car. | |
| It's the same. | |
| Under the law, it's the same. | |
| The lawsuit is filed. | |
| Since she posted the encounter on social media, other full-figured folks have reached out saying the same thing happened to them. | |
| Okay, first off, let me say this. | |
| I can't stand. | |
| I can't stand when lawyers like that, greasy ambulance chasers, try to marry... | |
| It's the same if I said I don't want black people in my... | |
| He didn't say he didn't want a black person in his car. | |
| His car was too low to the ground. | |
| His tire pressure couldn't handle her weight. | |
| I mean, obviously, the guy sounded like he was new to the country, in my opinion. | |
| Sounded like a foreigner. | |
| Sounded like he was probably from the Middle East. | |
| I don't know. | |
| And they're just used to being absolutely straight up. | |
| And I feel bad for... | |
| I know it was embarrassing, but the first thing that I would suggest is you don't need to put everything on camera. | |
| And also... | |
| What are you suing for? | |
| Seriously, what are you suing for? | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| You get into some cars and you're that big, it is going to drop to the floor. | |
| His car is already low. | |
| Here's the issue. | |
| And sadly, this exists and it's permeated the black community. | |
| We've become a society where victimhood is a virtue. | |
| We see this all the time, sadly. | |
| I mean, I'm thinking beforehand. | |
| Hey, I'm a big girl. | |

Punishing Lyft
00:00:23
|
|
| I'm a big dude. | |
| You know, when I do fly, I always make sure, my wife makes sure, she gets me like this NC because I've got a smaller torso, but I got really long legs. | |
| All right, so, all right, make sure I'm going to have to pay extra. | |
| You're going to have to do that. | |
| So she was embarrassed, so she decides to punish Lyft instead of take responsibility for herself, for her weight? | |
