Did A Florida Uber Driver Point A Gun At Passengers?

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – APRIL 28: A Lyft decal is seen on a car in the pick-up area at JFK Airport on April 28, 2023 in New York City. Lyft, the ride-hailing app, confirmed that it will be laying off 1,072 employees, which equals to roughly 26% of its corporate workforce. The layoffs were announced last week but no official number was confirmed. (Photo by Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images)

A Florida Uber driver pointed a gun at passengers during a ride. Video of it happening is now going viral on social media.

Trusting a stranger to drive you places can be a risky thing--even if you are using a trusted ride-share app. You just never know what kind of day they're having and what might set them off. These passengers certainly seem to have done that when they reportedly told the driver which turn to take during the ride. Seems like she did not appreciate being told what to do and ended up grabbing a gun and pointing it at them! Check out the video of the Florida Uber driver below.

Did A Florida Uber Driver Point A Gun At Passengers?

The video was shared by @krissycelessss on Instagram and is captioned, "an Uber driver just pulled a gun out on us. HELP US GET HEROFF THE STREETS BEFORE SHE POTENTIALLY HARMS ANOTHER PASSENGER." She does have a crazy look on her eyes during the video. Doesn't seem like the kind of lady you want to mess around with because you might find out.

Live Mint reports that the video was shared by Miami rapper Krissy Celess, aka Bomb Ass Krissy. Things really went downhill fast after she made the comment about the Uber driver's demeanor. She apparently didn't take too kindly to that. Live Mint says Krissy and her friend are now likely to sue Uber over the incident.

Attorney Carlos Dominguez tells Live Mint, "You know, emotions can sometimes spur out of control because of a simple disagreement, but those disagreements do not necessitate a firearm to be pointed at you." Uber is reportedly cooperating with the ongoing investigation.

That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
