🤔 ahhhh not quite understanding how she can win that one.

😳

Doesn’t that apply to all web sites?

Ok, she needs to get a life. She is getting ready to catch hell. Beyoncé don’t mess with anybody.

I’m conflufled

Just when your thinking, no way ——— WAY!

You can’t make this sheet up 🙁

LMFAO what!?

Seriously?

What?!

The diverse go after the diverse there the lefts tribe mentality will eat itself

Beyonce HOW RUDE! 🤣🤣🤣

Ok cool, now let the blind lead the blind 👌

Wwhhaatt!!

Is this the only website she plans on suing?

well it is ABC News so idk if it is real or not

Can we say tort reform.

Once a beyonce time there was a princess who sang to millions for millions ... Amazing Grace ...[Destiny's Child] (Beyoncé) Was blind, but now I see Oooh... (ooh whoa, oh...so amazing)

Karma girl karma

How can she see that?

Stupid news

oh cmon.. it doesn't make sense

PandorasBox Social justice consuming the left is great entertainment...

Wait for the outcome, and if she win the case that will set a new bar.

🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ I don’t understand

Every website does that by default.

Murica!

Give me a break. Get a live. See this.

Hopefully the judge throws that out. What a waste of the courts time🙄

Black became blonde 👱‍♀️

Show her the cash and she'll feel a lot better. 😆🤣😂

Just wait until she sees the comments

Oh FFS

How frivolous

I'm more concerned about the Braille on the keys of the drive thru ATMs at the bank

What

I see her point.

Bs. Next

Yup, exploiting the ADA for profit is a huge industry. Wait til you hear about the deaf man who sued a coffee shop because he couldn’t hear the music they had playing in the background.

If you have erectile disfunction.. Sue Trojan condom as well....😒

W3C HTML5 full compliance allows for assisted technologies to parse websites for people with disabilities. For example, the 'alt' property for images is used to describe the image if the picture is missing (that empty box you see) or if a person's blind.

She's sorry na lol

Soo...the 10yr girl who was mature enough, and (wrote a letter!) to Steph Curry, informing him about her favorite sneakers not being available in her size at the online store, should she have sued Steph too? If this woman wins action...'good night!'

🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Is she gonna sue microwave company's for not having braille on the keys? Or phone companies? Seems like there are more important issues to be addressed... unless you're only doing it for money...... $$$

How did she see that the website is discriminative?

IamChrisPorter perfect time for the “are you shittin’ me” defense

Beyoncé’s beauty itself discriminates against those who are visually impaired

Did she ever think to just ask them about the situation before all the attention getting lawsuit? I'm sure they would make it accessible to all if only they knew. I myself had never though about this until I read this story. Sorry.

Why does everything have to be a lawsuit? Why not just ask first to make it more accessible?

🤨

OliveTrouble I am legally blind and I can't even look at the sight cause it instantly hurts my eyes so I can't comment on this....some web pages do that to me... that's not necessarily the sites fault it might just be me....

Only in America!

I want to know how many other websites she has sued and what type of computer is she using, as there are many programs for visual impaired persons. Also, I understand her wanting a website to improve their services to include everyone, but monetary compensation? Come on!

Maybe Beyonce doesn’t want people to make the same mistake as she did.

Wtf

Bird box challenge fail.

Brilliant!! Next sue headphone manufacturers for discriminating against the hearing impaired.

Life discriminates against the visually impaired

Omg.. It's right, but not for just Beyoncés web site, but all over the internet, so it's not faulty of Beyoncé, it's faulty of law and governments, they are doing nothing to integrate this people.

Yeah that might be a bit of a stretch.

She’ll never see the money

Y'all catch the Eagles vs Bears Game

How did she know that it’s Beyonce’s website?

🙄🙄🙄🙄

There are people and lawyers out there that scour the internet to find infractions like this on any site they can get a payout for. They file these suits every day. This is only news because it's Beyonce.

Should she make the website 503 compliant? Sure, it would be nice. Is she obligated to make it 503 compliant? No, she is under no obligation. Most sites I do are not 503 compliant.

I get wanting the site to be fixed to accommodate the blind. Wanting to sue for cash, not so much.

This is great. Liberals always good for a laugh.

how would she know?

I’m struggling with this one 🤨

Its not a fun.

Good for her ! ❤💪

Ma’am

Wait..... wait..... OH COME ON!!! A BLIND woman is suing because of a website?!?! LMAO!!!!

OH NO, NOT THE GODDESS AND MEDIA FAWNED OVER THUNDER THIGHS BEYONCE' THE WIGGED ONE !

It's amazing how lazy people manage to live comfortably without moving a finger and trying to find a hair in the soup.

So a website is considered the same as a brick and mortar store?

😮

That’ll affect Beyoncé for sure. Glad you pointed it out.

I don’t “see” the problem here.

What did she actually SEE on the website tho...?
