In a statement to USA TODAY, an Uber spokesperson called the behavior in the video “appalling” and confirmed the “rider no longer has access to Uber.”
Lyft told KPIX 5, Kimiai behavior towards the driver was unacceptable and the driver has been permanently removed from the Lyft community, although the incident did not involve the platform.
A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to help Uber driver Subhakar Khadka after Uber only offered him $120 to have his car cleaned of the pepper spray that was used in his vehicle during the incident.
Footage of Kimiai harassing an Asian Uber driver has resurfaced online. Jack Froot News released the anonymous video.
