Judge Rules Against 'Love Is Blind' Contestant in $4M Legal Battle

Renee Poche must face arbitration with Netflix and Delirium TV, losing bid for public trial.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Bruce G. Iwasaki ruled that Renee Poche's lawsuit against Netflix and Delirium TV must be resolved through arbitration, denying her request for a public trial.
Poche had sued Netflix and Delirium TV, alleging unsafe conditions and being matched with a 'violent' alcoholic and drug addict during her time on 'Love Is Blind'.
The court noted Poche and her lawyers engaged in 'heated rhetoric' but lacked evidence that arbitration would cause her harm.
Delirium TV claims Poche violated her confidentiality and publicity obligations, seeking $4 million in damages.
Despite her allegations, Poche was warned multiple times about breaching her participant agreement, which outlined arbitration as the dispute resolution method.
