This obese rapper is suing Lyft because a Lyft driver refused to give her a ride in his compact car. To show just how large she actually is, here she is sitting in the back of a small SUV just under the tail gate while filming her rap video. She is almost as wide as the opening. I think this vehicle is a second generation Ford Escape, but I'm not positive. Anyway, both Lyft and Uber allow drivers to use subcompact cars as long as they have 4 doors and seat 5 people. The Mitsubishi Mirage G4 and the Nissan Versa are subcompact cars that meet these requirements. I've seen the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 up close and I own a Mazda Tribute, which is the same size as the Ford Escape (it actually is a Ford Escape underneath the labels), so I know the size of these vehicles. There is no way this person can sit comfortably and safely in a subcompact car.
The government and transportation companies like Lyft and Uber cannot force a driver to give a person this size a ride in their car. It would be unethical. A Lyft or Uber driver has the right to protect their investment that provides them with an income. Her lawsuit should be thrown out. She said "feeling bad" motivated her to sue Lyft when the drivers refused to give her a ride. Instead, she should use this experience and her feelings to motivate her to lose weight, and it might save her life. People this size don't live long, and they end up dying of complications due to their body weight at a relatively young age. Rewarding her with a win will probably contribute to her demise. But either way, it's her responsibility to lose weight.
