Overview

• Lana Love participated in a fake singing competition, 'Wings Of Voice,' staged by Nathan Fielder as part of HBO's The Rehearsal, believing it was legitimate for multiple audition rounds.
• Love incurred nearly $9,500 in expenses for travel, lodging, and other costs before realizing the competition was part of an elaborate meta-experiment on communication and safety.
• She described feeling exploited and claimed contestants were treated as 'the punchline of a joke,' drafting an open letter to producers to express her frustration.
• Breaking her NDA, Love shared her experience publicly through an interview and released a song titled 'Nathan Fielder,' with another single, 'Antidote,' set for release on May 16.
• The controversy has reignited debates about ethics, informed consent, and the use of NDAs in reality television and experimental programming.
