A woman in a wheelchair claimed that she was harassed by a group of women while out at Kia Center in Florida. Allegedly, the group told the Florida woman to enjoy being in a wheelchair and also threw rude gestures at her.
The story was posted on the woman’s TikTok account, temperance777. The clip itself got over two million views with hundreds of thousands of likes. Many commenters who saw the video were outraged for the woman.
The woman said this incident happened because she cut one of the women who targeted her off on Instagram two years ago for being publicly transphobic and racist, and that the woman later found her at Kia Center to approach her.
The video itself got so big that one of the women who harassed the wheelchair user even got fired. Subculturez Tattoo’s owner posted an announcement saying that the shop manager, named Taylor, was no longer employed by or affiliated with their business. They also apologized to the people involved and said that they will not tolerate bullying or harassment of any kind.
Review Bombs Hit the Tattoo Shop for the Florida Woman
The reaction toward the clip was mostly supportive of the Florida woman, with many people condemning the group who harassed her. “When did everyone get so evil?” one user asked. Some people were trying to actively show their support by review-bombing the business, and others even called the shop phone directly, trying to make the business take a stance.
As you can see by the update, Taylor, one of the women in the group, did get fired, though TikToker temperance777 responded with doubts, saying, “Is she actually fired or is this a front tho lol?”
Others, however, claimed that they still wanted more explanations and that the whole thing seemed too unclear for them to decide who was in the wrong. While the Florida woman did reply to some of the comments, she has yet to release any response or update regarding the incident.
Some users, meanwhile, shared their personal experiences with bullying, with one user writing, “Dude, I swear to God, those were the same girls that harassed me and my daughter at Universal Studios. Because she’s in a wheelchair and I told them if you keep stepping in front of her, she’s going to accidentally hit you and these were like I hope she does and I was like she’s developmentally delayed and disabled in a wheelchair. Are you kidding me?”
The clip, while short, certainly caused big damage to not just the group of women harassing the Florida woman but also to the business, just to show that it’s always best to act with kindness and politeness.
