Days after its first attempt at a live reunion show failed spectacularly, Netflix's "Love Is Blind" is facing another public-relations nightmare.
On Tuesday, former contestants on the dating program alleged in an Insider report that they experienced inhumane working conditions and emotional distress on set. The "Love Is Blind" alumni accused the production of subjecting them to 20-hour filming days, rarely allowing them to go outside, failing to provide adequate food and mental-health services and ignoring their pleas for help.
Multiple former cast members told Insider they suffered panic attacks while shooting the popular reality show about singles who fall in love and get engaged without ever laying eyes on each other. They recalled succumbing to exhaustion and falling asleep during dates while working long hours on a windowless set, where they allegedly only saw the light of day when using the bathroom in a trailer outside.
