American model Tess Holliday has vowed never to take another Uber after she was allegedly body shamed by one of the ride-sharing company’s drivers.
In an Instagram post shared this week with her 1.4 million followers, the 31-year-old claimed the male driver accused her of being unhealthy as a result of her size.
“Hey Uber,” Holliday wrote. “I don’t pay more to use your [premium] ‘black car’ service to be told that there’s no way I could possibly be healthy because I’m fat…”
In an accompanying video, the driver can be heard questioning Holliday about her cholesterol levels, to which she replies, “I’m perfect. I’m healthy.”
“No one should have to tolerate this at any level of the services you offer,” the mother of one wrote.
“I’m fat. I also have a fat wallet & will no longer be using your services. Ever.”
