'Love Is Blind' Contestant Sues Netflix and Delirium TV

Renee Poche alleges punitive treatment, unlawful employment practices, and challenges the legality of her nondisclosure agreement.

Renee Poche, a contestant on Netflix's 'Love Is Blind', has filed a lawsuit against Netflix and Delirium TV, the show's production company, alleging punitive treatment and unlawful employment practices.
Poche claims she was forced to continue an emotionally abusive relationship with a fellow contestant and was kept locked in a hotel room during the production.
The lawsuit also targets the nondisclosure agreement Poche signed with Delirium, which she alleges unlawfully restricted her from speaking on workplace conditions and threatened her with a $4 million penalty for violation.
Delirium initiated arbitration against Poche for violating her nondisclosure agreement, charging her with four violations that carried penalties of $1 million each.
A successful challenge to Poche’s nondisclosure agreement could have wide-reaching consequences for the entertainment industry, where similarly restrictive contracts are common.
