‘EMOTIONAL DISTRESS’

‘Love Is Blind’ Season 5 Contestant Sues Producers Over Alleged Sex Assault

The lawsuit targets Kinetic Content and Delirium TV.

A Love Is Blind contestant has filed suit against the show’s producers, alleging that they were responsible for her “false imprisonment” on set and that they turned a deaf ear to her claims of sexual assault against a fellow contestant, People reports. The lawsuit targets Kinetic Content and Delirium TV, which Tran Dang alleges are responsible for her relegation to a hotel room and for not taking action after another contestant, Thomas Smith, allegedly groped her and made unwanted sexual advances. Both contestants were part of season 5 of the show, but neither one appeared in the season when it aired. Dang is seeking $1 million in damages against the producers, who have maintained that the claims against them are meritless.
