A woman has sued Lyft for claiming the driver refused to pick her up and take her to her destination because of her body and that she might ‘burst his tyres’.

Detroit rapper Dajua Blanding – who performs under the stage name Dank Demoss – has filed a lawsuit against the company and the driver, “John Doe”, in Michigan’s Circuit Court for Wayne County.

Court documents cited that the rapper paid for a ride to her cousin’s home to watch a sports game. After 10/15 minutes, Doe arrived but as she walked towards the vehicle, he refused to let her in and tried to drive away.

“Specifically, as Plaintiff walked towards the vehicle, Defendant John Doe locked the doors to his vehicle and attempted to drive away,” the filing reads.

Blanding filmed the interaction and can be heard saying: “I can fit in this car.”

To which, he responded: “Believe me, you can’t.”

Doe told Blanding she “was too big to fit in the back seat” and that the “tires were not capable of supporting Plaintiff’s weight”.

She explained to him that she “did not require a bigger car.”

However, Doe continued, stating he had a “problem in the past” and that “overweight individuals must order Lyft XLs”.

Her lawsuit accuses the company and the driver of creating a hostile environment and engaging in discriminatory treatment.

John Marko, her lawyer, told PEOPLE: “Under the law, refusing someone transportation due to their weight is no different than refusing someone transportation based on their race or religion.

“Discrimination of any kind should never be tolerated in our society.”

“Refusing someone transportation based on their weight is not only illegal, but dangerous. Imagine the consequences if Ms. Blanding were unable to seek shelter after the driver left her stranded. This could have ended even worse than it did,” Runyan said.
