Who filed the case? “Love Is Blind” Season 2, star Jeremy Hartwell filed a lawsuit against series producers, alleging that the casts were mistreated while filming the show. What did his lawyer say to the media? “They intentionally paid them lower and also denied food, water, and sleep, and cut off their access to loved ones, which made cast members change in their emotions and decision-making," the star attorney alleged Wednesday in a statement to the media. How much will the penalty be? The contracts required contestants to agree that if they terminated the show before filming, they would be penalized to pay $50,000 as 'liquidated damages.'

Agitation With that being 50 times what some of the cast members would earn during the entire show, this certainly had the potential to instill fear in them and enable production to exert even further control. What does his lawsuit serve? According to Jeremy Hartwell’s legal team, his lawsuit serves as a proposed class action on behalf of all participants in ‘Love Is Blind and other non-scripted productions created by Kinetic Content from 2018 to 2022. What were the drinks provided to the casts? In court documents, Jeremy Hartwell alleged that "the drinks they regularly provided us were beverages, soft drinks, and mixers. He further claimed that hydrating drinks such as water were strictly out of sight during dawn.

Mental torture Additionally, the documents allege that they contributed to “inhumane working conditions and changed our mental state through a “combination of sleep deprivation, isolation, lack of food, etc. Jeremy Hartwell further claimed that contestants could not contact loved ones during filming — even though that is commonplace for many reality series. Minimum pay The suit also alleged that "Love Is Blind" Season 2 participants earned only $1,000 per week. This amount is less than minimum wage for the hours we work. Finally, Despite his grievances, Jeremy Hartwell promoted the show and said Filming for Love is Blind was one of my life's most intense and memorable events. It remains an experience regardless of the ups and downs.
