TikToker claims she was sued by Airbnb guests who were \u201ctriggered\u201d by her disability TIKTOK: thisworldcanbeaccessibleA TikToker has gone viral after claiming she got sued by Airbnb guests who were \u201ctriggered\u201d by her disability. Update, October 14: The TikToker has now deleted her social media accounts, and other TikTok users have cast doubt on the veracity of her claims. Airbnb host Jade, who said she is disabled, took to TikTok and YouTube, claiming that she has been sued for \u00a3250,000 by guests for allegedly leaving them \u201ctraumatised\u201d by her disability. The content creator, who said she is terminally ill with Huntington\u2019s disease, has been documenting her experience on TikTok. She previously claimed that the guests who had booked to stay in her Irish home for \u20ac50 a night demanded she remove \u201call disability aids from my own home and if not that I leave.\u201d Jade also claimed that Airbnb supported the visitors in this regard, instructing her to refund the visitors, because they \u201cdidn\u2019t like\u201d her accessible doorbell. Jade\u2019s story quickly made the rounds on both TikTok and Twitter, with users arguing the lawsuit was ableist. A number of viral tweets on the topic sparked debate too. Despite the viral nature of the story, the lawsuit against the host is not been made public, causing some to doubt if it is real. The TikToker (who posts under the username thisworldcanbeaccessible) expressed her frustration about the incident in a series of videos, which have now been deleted, and started a petition to \u201cshow a Judge that disabled people aren\u2019t scary.\u201d In an online petition which has more than 18,000 signatures at the time of writing, Jade wrote: \u201cI can only share my side of this situation legally, so I am not asking you to support me personally-simply to support the statement that disabled people should not risk being sued for their disability allegedly \u2018traumatising\u2019 another person. \u201cAs a disabled person I cannot hide myself away. I cannot change my disability \u2026 and I cannot hide myself away in case I \u2018trigger\u2019 someone.\u201d In a now-deleted YouTube video, Jade said she is \u201cheartbroken\u201d that some of the Equality Act, which outlaws discrimination against someone based on their disability, is \u201cbeing potentially eroded\u201d. \u201cThis is a cancel culture situation,\u201d she said. \u201cBecause when you break this down, what this people want me to accept is that any single person can say, \u2018my feelings are I don\u2019t like your disability, so you need to remove yourself\u2019. Where do we draw the line to that?\u201d Since her initial posts, speculation about the incident has continued, with some doubting how real the situation was. Some have claimed that she is posing as another person, claiming to have found images of her \u2018real\u2019 self. Both her TikTok and YouTube accounts are now gone, with only a website remaining. In a statement posted to the website, it reads, \u201cMy name is Carrie Jade Williams and I am writing this on the advice of my legal team. I am an entirely separate individual to my sister whose mental health past has been dragged into my life as an attempt to discredit my advocacy work.\u201d The statement continues that she is \u201cappalled that internet trolls have attempted to discredit my advocacy by bringing my sisters past and suggesting I am she.\u201d TikTokers are now trying to decipher if there are in fact two sisters, or if it was a ruse. Others have been supportive, alleging that the \u2018bullying\u2019 has forced the TikToker to leave social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
