The girlfriend he’s referring to is Gabi Holzwarth, the talented violinist who says that it was Kalanick who helped her overcome a decade-long eating disorder that could’ve killed her.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from this tweet, it’s that no matter what the situation is, it’s important to always keep a good sense of humor.
