Creators of the hit Netflix series Love Is Blind have been sued again, this time by a contestant alleging she was sexually assaulted during season five’s filming. It’s the latest in a string of complaints participants have lodged against the series.
, this time from a contestant named Tran Dang, who alleges that she was sexually assaulted by her then-fiancé during filming of the reality show’s fifth season in May 2022. Further, she says producers did not take any action after she reported the incident to them. Though the show’s creators have denied Dang’s claims, news of the lawsuit became public shortly after season five — which is shaping up to be the show’sin a statement.
Dang also alleges that production sequestered her and the rest of the cast, taking away their cell phones, wallets, and passports. She says she had to ask permission to leave her hotel room or even use the restroom, and filming went on for as long as 18 hours a day. “On multiple days of filming, Delirium TV and Kinetic Content provided several alcoholic beverages while providing limited amounts of food.
“The combination of sleep deprivation, isolation, lack of food, and an excess of alcohol all either required, enabled or encouraged by defendants contributed to inhumane working conditions and altered mental state for the cast,”reads. “At times, defendants left members of the cast alone for hours at a time with no access to a phone, food, or any other type of contact with the outside world until they were required to return to working on the production.
These cast members also accused producers of ignoring mental-health emergencies and controlling their comings and goings, persuading them to stay on the show even when they expressed a desire to leave. Though Kinetic told Insider that it considers participants’ “well-being” to be “of paramount importance,” the report said the company contractually obligated that contestants pay $50,000 in damages if they leave early without an okay from producers.
