Dating a naked stranger in front of production strangers yet suing for
being shown naked. Um, ok.
EW.com <http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/08/21/dating-naked-lawsuit/>: A woman
who went on *Dating Naked
<http://fellowshipoftheminds.com/2014/07/07/a-time-saver-dating-naked/> **has
filed a $10 million lawsuit after VH1 apparently showed her too naked*.
New York model Jessie Nizewitz, 28, says the headline-making freshman
reality series (trailer
<http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/07/11/naked-dating-trailer/>)* flashed her
crotch during one segment where she playfully wrestles with a date on the
beach*. Viewers noticed the unexpected reveal *despite it being a very
brief shot, and Nizewitz says she’s been humiliated on social media*.
Producers had allegedly assured Nizewitz that *her genitals would be fully
blurred during the episode*. (*Dating Naked* typically shows bare buttocks,
but breasts and genitals are heavily blurred.)
*“I have no problem going to a beach in a bikini or people seeing me on TV
in a bikini,” *Nizewitz said in a statement released to *EW* by her
attorney, Matthew J. Blit. “Although I went on this show *knowing that I
would be nude while taping it I was told that my private parts would be
blurred for TV*. If you watch an episode, you will see that the blur
actually makes it less revealing than a bikini would. Obviously, *I did not
expect the world to see my private parts*, this is not what I anticipated
or what any other contestants on the show anticipated.”
Nizewitz is suing VH1 operator Viacom and two production companies, none of
which had comment. The suit filed late Wednesday claims uncensored images
of Nizewitz were passed around Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Tumblr
after airing on VH1. “Plaintiff… was shocked, horrified and outraged *to
observe this intrusion into her privacy for all to see*,” reads the suit.
“Immediately Plaintiff became subject to ridicule by those watching. …
*Plaintiff
has suffered and continues to suffer extreme emotional distress, mental
anguish, humiliation and embarrassment.* … Defendants knew or reasonably
should have known that broadcasting an individual’s vagina and anus on
national cable television would cause substantial and severe emotional
distress.”
Adding insult to alleged injury, Nizewitz also noted in a *New York Post*
interview
<http://nypost.com/2014/08/20/dating-naked-cast-member-sues-after-crotch-blur-fail/>
that a *man she was dating never called her again after the show aired*. *(Is
that because she dated strangers naked perhaps?)*
*Dating Naked* is part of the current wave of nude reality shows led by
Discovery’s *Naked and Afraid*. Though the summer dating series has been
slammed
<http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jul/16/vh1s-naked-dating-outrages-parents-group/>
by a parents group for putting semi-nudity on basic cable, *the show has an
impressive match-making success rate—six couples who have met on the show
have stayed together, VH1 claims, and one of* those couples is getting
married <http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/08/05/dating-naked-wedding-special/>.
While the show has generated plenty of online buzz since it premiered last
month, viewership remains modest—averaging about 800,000 viewers per
first-run episode.
