*Trigger warning* - this case involves sexual assault.

Legal team, continuing on with our Love Is Blind series, on the docket this week is a case from Season 5 contestant Tran Dang, whose time on the show was never aired. During her season, Tran formed a relationship with LIB contestant Thomas Smith, and they ended up getting engaged. This case that Tran Dang filed is against multiple parties including Kinetic Content, LLC, Delirium TV, LLC and Thomas Smith. A settlement has been reached, but we breakdown what Tran Dang was alleging, explain why there was an appeal, and discuss the extensive participation contract that Love Is Blind contestants are given. We also give some personal updates on the latest cases we’ve been working on.
