AceShowbiz - Darris Straughter, a disabled man who sustained a traumatic spinal cord injury in 2018, was eagerly anticipating Rick Ross' annual Car & Bike Show held in June at his sprawling "The Promise Land" estate. Straughter had made arrangements to attend the event, including purchasing travel, lodging and a ticket well in advance.

However, Straughter's excitement was dashed when the promised wheelchair-accessible shuttle bus allegedly failed to arrive and pick him up. After hours of waiting, he was forced to return to his hotel.

Straughter has since filed a lawsuit against Ross, alleging breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). He is seeking damages and an order requiring the car show to accommodate individuals with disabilities in the future.

According to the lawsuit, Straughter contacted the venue two weeks prior to the event to request accommodations for his wheelchair. He claims he was promised that a shuttle bus would transport him from the parking lot to the event. Despite waiting for several hours, the bus never appeared.

The lawsuit also alleges that event organizers promised refunds to those who were unable to attend due to lack of access. However, Straughter states that neither Ross nor the organizers followed up with him.

The lawsuit comes amidst criticism that the Car & Bike Show was poorly organized, with numerous attendees complaining about long wait times, lack of wristbands, and inadequate shuttle services.

Ross has yet to publicly comment on the lawsuit.
