The model took a video of the incident and shared it on her Instagram, writing:

“Hey @uber I don’t pay more to use your ‘black car’ service to be told that there’s no way I could possibly be healthy because I’m fat & then questioning it. No one should have to tolerate this at any level of the services you offer. I’m fat. I also have a fat wallet & will no longer be using your services.”

She added:

“saying my driver is fat was obviously being used as a descriptor & not to insult him. Also I did not show his face or use his name when filming, it was to be able to show what I deal with daily & why this behavior is unacceptable from anyone.”

No one should have to tolerate this at any level of the services you offer. I’m fat. I also have a fat wallet & will no longer be using your services. Ever. Also after I told him I was healthy he turned the radio off & changed the subject. #putmymoneywheremymouthis #uberdriver #uber Edited to add: saying my driver is fat was obviously being used as a descriptor & not to insult him.

Crazy and soooooooooo fucked up!
Uber drivers are usually not professional drivers, it should be noted. And that may often be the reason why so many of them are rude and out of line. It’s not like Uber hasn’t had major issues with its drivers in the past.
Tess was right for calling this guy out!
And it looks like Lyft just gained itself a customer! LOLz!
