According to the video, Blanding paid Lyft for a ride from her residence to a party at her cousin's house.
About 10-15 minutes later, a Lyft driver arrived in a Mercedez Benz sedan.
Blanding walked towards the Lyft driver's vehicle, and the Lyft driver locked his doors and started to drive away.
She asked the driver what he was doing, and the driver told her that she was too big to get into his car.
The driver claimed that Blanding was too big to fit into the backseat of his vehicle and that his tires could not support her weight.
The Lyft driver also said that he had this problem in the past and that overweight people need to order Lyft XLs.
Um private company sweaty, they can deny service if they want to?

I find this funny cause I had an unnoficial no fatties rule when picking up my drunk friends. Except I had an 80s towncar and even it couldnt handle fat people like that. The wheel wells would hit the wheels every time I hit a bump.
