Uber has removed from its app a driver who kicked two Camden County women out of her vehicle after they kissed.
One of the women recorded the incident and had posted it on her personal Facebook page in a post that went viral, and said the driver told them to get out of her car because their lifestyle violated her beliefs.
The transportation company on Sunday confirmed that it no longer works with the unidentified driver.
“Uber does not tolerate discrimination in any form and we have been in contact with this rider,” spokesman Grant Klinzman said. "We removed the driver’s access to the app as soon as we were made aware of this incident.”
Kristin Michele and Jenn Mangan were in an Uber on their way to a Zac Brown Band concert in Camden on Friday night when Michele leaned over and gave Mangan a kiss on the cheek, the couple said. It was after that, they said, that the driver pulled over and demanded they get out.
In an interview, Michele said she was happy about Uber’s quick response to her complaint and the decision to fire the driver.
“I think everyone is free to their own personal opinions, however, if you are working for a company you must abide by their terms and policy,” she said, noting Uber’s anti-discrimination rules. “She should not be doing a job if she cannot abide by the policies.”
When Michele asks in the video if the woman’s kicking them out because they’re gay, she responds “Yes, I am. Yes. Get out."
The driver said she was a Christian woman and “didn’t believe in that,” said Michele, who began recording after that. The driver later argues she can reject any ride she wants to.

“if you are working for a company you must abide by their terms and policy”
Hmmmm, wonder if she’d equate that logic to Kaepernick?
“Uber does not tolerate discrimination in any form.”
*Except against Christians.
It’s a rotten company. The pay is horrible and there is no compensation for the damage passengers do to one’s car. Reminder: drivers use their own cars. Passengers spit, smoke and undoubtedly engage in disgusting behavior just to shock the poor driver.
If they’re talking about anything SEXUAL, the person should have the right to be offended and kick them out.
I don’t care to hear about anyone’s SEXUAL issues. Keep it to yourself.
“If they’re talking about anything SEXUAL, the person should have the right to be offended and kick them out.”
And Uber has the right to kick the driver off their platform.
Did they merely kiss or were they making out IN HIS CAR...?
They’re a rotten company with a complete lack of integrity in the C suite.
Their data systems were breached in 2018, resulting in the theft of 600,000 employee driver licenses, and personal records of 57,000,000 customers.
They agreed to pay the hackers a ransom to keep the episode secret (and failed) rather than inform those affected to give them a chance to take corrective measures.
Since fined $148M by all 50 states’ office of attorney general.
Garbage company.
I didn’t know that. And, you are right. It is a garbage company.
#LoveTolerance.
uber is anti-Christian? Is that a 1st amendment issue?
Of course she did.
Exactly. Imagine if everyone “came out” with their own sexual proclivities, like a dude saying “ hello my name is so and so, and I like to smell my wife’s vagina”.
Is that any different when they say “hello, I’m gay”.
The necrosis around these people is the mental disease of PC.
*nevrosis , no pun intended autocorrect
Well in this case, frankly, I think I know the man and wife about whom you are speaking and I would agree with him wholeheartedly. To be sure she is very much alive!
It was valid the auto correct way, too...
What we want to think of lesbians is not the reality.
Gag.
