Wheelchair-Using Woman Allegedly Told to Leave Handicap Parking for the Kardashians
A wheelchair-using woman claims she was forced to leave her handicap parking spot for the Kardashians to use during an event. Yikes!
TikTok personality and professional dancer Kaylee Bays recalled her experience in a video posted to the social media app.
"It's been a 'wheelie' hard week being a disabled gal in Los Angeles," she begins her viral video.
"I was at an event in the parking lot when I was told that I had to move my car for the Kardashians. 'Sir, what you're saying is I have to leave the handicapped parking spot for the Kardashians? Sir, I'm in a wheelchair,'" she recalled telling the attendant who asked her to move, before stating: "Literally, the Kardashians took my parking spot."

Bays' week got even worse when, after confirming she had tickets for a taping of Dancing With the Stars just a few days later, she received an email from the show stating the ADA section was now full and unable to accommodate her — this time apparently because of JoJo Siwa.
"On Tuesday night I see a certain celebrity sitting in what is normally, typically, always the handicap section. So yes, I lost my tickets to JoJo Siwa," she says in the video, clarifying that while she doesn't intend to attack these celebrities, she does hope to bring attention to how society bends over backwards for celebrities "while neglecting the needs of an entire community who are just simply trying to exist."

This isn't the first time the Kardashians have been called out for allegedly illegally parking in handicap spots, something which appears to be a systemic issue in Hollywood.
Kendall Jenner has been photographed and called out for parking in handicap spots without the proper placard on several occasions, often alongside her friend Hailey Bieber.
Meanwhile, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker were photographed parking in a space with their vehicle over the blue diagonal lines that are reserved for wheelchair or mobility device users who need more space to access their car.
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott have also been photographed using a handicap space as well.
