A Love Is Blind Show Contestant Has Decided to Sue Netflix

What really goes on behind the scenes of reality TV shows? It’s become clear that one Love Is Blind contestant was definitely not happy with the experience. Namely, Jeremy Hartwell, who appeared in season two of the aforementioned show, alleges that the working conditions were inhumane, which is why the star is now suing Netflix.

The Cause of the Lawsuit

Heartwell only stayed on the show for a week but it was long enough for this reality TV star to become unhappy with the working conditions. The series Love Is Blind is produced by Kinetic Content and it premiered on Netflix in 2020. It brings together people from different walks of life who then proceed to go on blind dates with each other. The entire experience is a few weeks long.

What Hartwell Had to Say About Love Is Blind

There are several alleged bad practices that Jeremy Hartwell claims he experienced during the filming of the reality show. To start with, he said that the producers were encouraging members of the cast to consume adult beverages on empty stomachs. Hartwell also claims that the crew of workers on the show were underpaid and not provided enough food and water during the making of the show. He also claims that they were told their cellphones would be taken away but that they weren’t expecting all of their baggage to be looked through and their wallets, passports, and IDs to be taken as well.

The Response So Far

Hartwell filed a lawsuit in California Superior Court in LA. He told CNN that to him it’s not a matter of money but of justice, that he truly believes these practices he’s seen during the filming of Love Is Blind are bad and need to change. Kinetic Content and Delirium TV wrote in response that they wouldn’t want to speculate what Mr. Hartwell’s motives for filing the lawsuit are, but that there are no merits to his allegations and that they intend to vigorously defend against them.
