Claims of Abuse and Sexual Assault on Set in Love Is Blind Lawsuits

Reading Time: 4 minutes

The reality dating show Love is Blind has become one of Netflix’s most successful properties at a time when the streaming giant is desperate for hits.

But the future of the series is currently in doubt, thanks to multiple lawsuits alleging shocking acts of abuse and harassment on set.

The first suit was filed by a contestant named Tran Dang, who alleges that she was sexually assaulted during filming.

Dang was cast on the show’s fifth season, and she eventually got engaged to castmate Thomas Smith.

Controversy and reality TV have always gone hand-in-hand, but the allegations made by Dang are so shocking that they may lead to long-overdue changes throughout the industry.

Dang is suing Love Is Blind‘s production company, Kinetic Content, for assault, false imprisonment, and negligence.

“The producers are throwing money at the problem by spending an inordinate amount of money on losing legal positions that do nothing but delay the parties from having their day in Court,” Dang’s lawyer Benjamin W. Allen told People magazine in October of 2023.

Another Love Is Blind lawsuit might soon land the show’s creator and production companies in front of a judge.

Like Dang, Texas veterinarian Renee Poche progressed beyond “the pods” and entered into an engagement with a fellow contestant during Love Is Blind Season 5.

However, Poches’ relationship with Carter Wall was also edited out of the season and is now the subject of a messy legal battle.

“My experience on Love is Blind was traumatic. I felt like a prisoner and had no support when I let Delirium know that I didn’t feel safe,” Poche said in a statement.

Kinetic Content and Delirium TV have yet to publicly respond to the allegations.
