Pokimane Shaken Up

One of the most popular female twitch streamers Imane Anys aka Pokimane shared her experience of an uncomfortable Uber ride where the driver was hitting on her. She took to twitter and posted the incident stating; “bro my uber driver will not stop hitting on me and asking for my number and he refuses to take no for an answer. we’re also zooming through the highway and 20 mins from my destination and i’m just sooo UNCOMFORTABLE”.

Pokimane also claimed that the driver said she could remove her mask while in the car with him. Many fans have responded to Pokimane’s tweet with a barrage of comments with many sharing their own concerning interactions with Uber and Lyft drivers. Furthermore, Pokimane went live on March 16th to describe her uncomfortable experience with the Uber ride the day prior. During her live stream, she further described the drive in more detail, claiming that it was the most uncomfortable encounter she’s ever had.

She stated; “I have never been in a situation that uncomfortable. Like, will an Uber driver hit on you, or kind of push the boundary a bit? Sure, maybe sometimes. But for them to have the gall — the absolute audacity — to ask for your number as you’re paying them for your service, and when you say no, keep pushing?” Luckily, Pokimane got home safely after the said ride and she did admit to giving him a one-star rating. But, Pokimane did not report him, as some fans had called for, stating that she was afraid he would know it was her while also citing concerns that he already knows where she lives.
