A "Dating Naked" contestant has filed a $10 million lawsuit against VH1 after the network allegedly featured her on the reality show completely unclothed.
The complainant, Jessie Nizewitz, an aspiring model, was initially told by the show's producers that none of her private parts would be shown. However, when one episode of the show aired, part of Nizewitz's crotch was shown, according to Pedestrian TV.
In an interview with the New York Post, Nizewitz said, "I immediately started getting text messages. Everyone saw it. My grandma saw it. I saw her this week and she didn't have much to say to me. She's probably mad. My parents are just annoyed," she said.
Nizewitz also stressed that VH1's error caused her a potential relationship, the same publication noted.
"He never called me again after the show aired. I would have hoped we could have had a long-term relationship. He was employed, Jewish, in his 30s and that's pretty much ideal," she explained.
Meanwhile, the aspiring model is currently suing not only VH1's parent company Viacom but also Firelight Entertainment and Lighthearted Entertainment, TIME reported.
Nizewitz's attorney, Matthew J. Blit, also released a statement on behalf of his client via Entertainment Weekly.
"I have no problem going to a beach in a bikini or people seeing me on TV in a bikini. Although I went on the 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," she told E! News.
