A woman who participated in the filming of the fifth season of the reality series Love is Blind has sued the production companies behind the series. The woman claims, among other things, that she was assaulted and held against her will and also accuses the makers of negligence. The makers of the Netflix dating show have now announced that they do not recognize the accusations.
Tran Dang, who participated in the recordings but is not seen in the fifth season, is suing producers Kinetic Content and Delirium TV. In a court document, which the entertainment website Deadline published online, Dang claims, among other things, that the man with whom she was paired during the recordings groped her, was naked and “forcibly and repeatedly made sexual contact”, despite her “explicit objections’. The makers are said to have tried to mask the events by ‘dismissing it as a lack of appeal’.
Kinetic Content and Delirium TV refuted the allegations in a joint statement to People. “We support and stand with the victims of sexual violence, but Ms. Dang’s claims against the producers are unmerited,” the statement read. They argue that adults voluntarily participate in ‘a social experiment’ and they can choose to stop at any time. In addition, they say that Dang did not raise her concerns with them and they “cannot address undisclosed concerns.”
Love Is Blind creator Chris Coelen made a similar statement. He said that if someone comes to him with such complaints they “immediately remove them from the experiment, talk to them and try to get to the bottom of it.” Alleged misconduct was never brought to our attention, Coelen said.
