Netflix’s “Love Is Blind” Season 5 is currently airing and the drama outside of the show is even crazier than the drama on the show!!
Apparently, the show is now being sued by one of the Season 5 contestants that didn’t get any TV time.
Tran Dang, who filmed for season 5 but is not featured in the episodes, is suing production company Kinetic Content after claiming she was sexually assaulted on set by her former fiancé and Kinetic allegedly did nothing to stop it, according to a complaint obtained by PEOPLE. In the suit, Dang also claimed she was falsely imprisoned while filming and producers acted with negligence.
Since her initial filing, Dang has also sued production company Delirium TV, which Kinetic alleged that it “delegated responsibility for shooting the relevant season of Love Is Blind,” per the docs.
“The producers are throwing money at the problem by spending an inordinate amount of money on losing legal positions that do nothing but delay the parties from having their day in Court. They lost on three distinct legal issues before the trial court and then filed three separate appeals to multiply the proceedings we have to wade through before finally trying this case,” Dang’s attorney Benjamin W. Allen of Wallace & Allen LLP tells PEOPLE in a statement via email. “But we are confident that Ms. Dang’s position will be vindicated once we get there and are committed to seeing it through all of the way. We have to hold the show producers accountable. We have an ethical duty to our client to do so, but also feel a moral obligation to the next generation of reality show participants.”
Fans did catch on to cast members being cut out:

ABOUT LOVE IS BLIND (S5)
Premiere Date: September 22, 2023 (batched weekly)
Season 5 Synopsis: The fifth season of the cultural hit reality series returns with a new group of Houston singles ready to hit the pods and find love. As the experiment continues to expand, each participant’s individual journey, emotional growth, and ability to embrace a new approach to dating is key – whether they find love outwardly or within. In the most shocking season yet, the singles face new challenges, unexpected twists, and surprising turns that will test their personal resolve, and the strength of their connections, more than ever before. Even if the couples can forge a strong enough bond to get engaged sight unseen, can their love survive the challenges waiting for them in the outside world – including protective families, skeptical friends, and the exes they thought they’d left behind?
Series Synopsis: Singles who want to be loved for who they are have signed up for a less conventional approach to modern dating, and will choose someone to marry without ever meeting them. Over several weeks, the newly engaged couples will move in together, plan their wedding, and find out if their physical connection matches their strong emotional bond developed in the pods. When their wedding day arrives, will real-world realities and external factors push them apart, or will they marry the person they fell blindly in love with? Hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, this addictive 10-episode series will uncover whether looks, race, or age do matter – or if love really is blind.
