Love Is Blind Part 1: Jeremy Hartwell v. Netflix

Legal team, on the docket this week we’re starting off our Love Is Blind series strong with Jeremy Hartwell’s lawsuit against Netflix over unpaid wages. Even though they have reached a $1.4 million settlement, we still think this case is worth diving into, as it provides insight into how reality TV stars are compensated. We discuss Jeremy’s complaints and allegations against the network, how class action lawsuits work and who benefits, and the differences and advantages of hiring independent contractors vs. employees. Next week we’ll be discussing another Love Is Blind lawsuit!What’s on the docket?What is Love Is BlindLove is Blind rules about asking about looksMagic Castle anecdote from CesieCesie and Angela’s personal thoughts on the showJeremy Hartwell's labor exploitation and misclassification lawsuitHow class action lawsuits work and who  benefitsJeremy Hartwell’s allegations against the networkWhat are liquidated damages and why are they put in contractsBackground check requirements for Love Is Blind castProvisions in the contract that they’re opposing in this complaintNational Labor Relations Board complaint against Love is Blind Access additional content and our Patreon here: ⁠https://zez.am/thebravodocket⁠  The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.
