“Payback Is A Bitch”: Renee Poche & Lawyers On Sweeping ‘Love Is Blind’ Suit & The Feds’ Big Reality TV Workers Rights Move

EXCLUSIVE: Love is Blind contestant Renee Poche speaks to Deadline about the potential legal tidal wave about to hit Reality TV thanks to the feds

EXCLUSIVE: “It’s like what Mark says, this is what you would call “the f*ck around and find out” stage,” former Love is Blind contestant Renee Poche tells Deadline today of a complaint by the National Labor Relations Board that hits at the heart of Reality TV.

Pulling back the veil on a Poche settlement that never happened, the attorneys, who jointly have been representing an ever-growing number of Reality TV performers in the past year or so in their battle over NDAs and on-show treatment, also laid out how the NLRB’s actions over LIB could lead to unscripted unionization over time.
