EX- LOVE IS BLIND CONTESTANT SUES NETFLIX

A former Love Is Blind competitor is suing Netflix, alleging that the production
violated labor rules by restricting food and water and encouraging alcohol
use. Jeremy Hartwell was part of the Season 2 of the dating program, which
places contestants in separate pods

and forces them to date without seeing each other.



Hartwell filed a complaint last week against Netflix, Kinetic Content, and
casting agency Delirium TV. While talking about his lawsuit to People,
[https://people.com/tv/love-is-blind-alum-jeremy-hartwell-sues-show-over-inhuman-working-conditions/]
Jeremy said that the companies “regularly refused timely food and water to the
cast while on set, severely restricting the availability of hydration
opportunities.”

Hartwell’s complaint also accuses producers of underpaying the participants,
claiming that they qualified as employees rather than contractors under
California state law since producers made judgments concerning the nature of the
cast’s work.

The complaint seeks unpaid pay, cash compensation for missed breaks, and other
monetary penalties for violations of company rules. According to the former
participant, the event left him “sleep-deprived, socially isolated and mentally
drained.”

In response to the allegation, Kinetic Connect told People that Mr Hartwell had
only been a member of the Love is Blind
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/love-is-blind] cast for less than a week after
failing to connect with another contestant.

According to the statement, “While we will not speculate as to his motives for
filing the lawsuit, there is absolutely no merit to Mr. Hartwell’s allegations,
and we will vigorously defend against his claims.”
