Sunday, August 11, 2024 - Rick Ross is facing legal trouble as a new lawsuit claims that his popular Car & Bike Show failed to accommodate disabled attendees.
A man named Darris Straughter has
filed a lawsuit against the rapper, alleging that the event was not accessible
for people with disabilities, despite assurances to the contrary.
According to the lawsuit, Straughter
said he was excited about the opportunity to attend Ross's car show, which was
marketed as a dream event for car enthusiasts. However, his experience turned
sour when the wheelchair-accessible shuttle bus he was promised never arrived,
leaving him stranded in the parking lot for hours.
Straughter claims he went to great
lengths to attend the event, including selling his car to cover the costs of
travel, lodging, and a ticket to the show. He also alleges that he contacted
the event organizers two weeks in advance to request reasonable accommodations
for his wheelchair, and was assured that a shuttle would be available. Despite
these assurances, Straughter says the shuttle never materialized, forcing him
to give away his ticket and return to his hotel in frustration.
Adding to his grievances, Straughter
claims that event organizers had promised refunds to anyone who couldn't get
into the event, but says he never received any follow-up or compensation.
Straughter, represented by attorney
John Hoover Esq., is now suing Rick Ross for breach of contract, unjust
enrichment, and violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). The
lawsuit seeks damages as well as a court order mandating that future car shows
provide proper disabled access.
