In 2016, during mass anti-Uber demonstrations by taxi operators in Paris, Kalanick had been discussing holding a rally of Uber riders and drivers in the city, according to The Washington Post. Kalanick is said to have privately suggested that any violent backlash to the potential event would be "worth it" and would "guarantee success" for the company, according to the leaked documents. The leaked documents reportedly show how Uber appeared to capitalize on attacks against its drivers more generally, by citing them "to secure meetings with politicians and push for regulatory changes," the Post reported.

In a wider statement to the consortium responding to a number of the reports, Devon Spurgeon, a spokesperson for Kalanick, said the former CEO "never suggested that Uber should take advantage of violence at the expense of rider safety." Spurgeon confirmed the statement to CNN Business but declined to comment beyond it.
