It’s Called ‘Dating Naked,’ But One Contestant Is Suing for $10 Million — Claiming the Program Showed Too Much

Aug 22, 2014  •  Post A Comment

VH1’s dating show “Dating Naked” teases the idea of showing potential mates meeting and dating while completely naked, but one contestant is suing the show for allegedly showing too much, reports Deadline.com.

Jessie Nizewitz, 28, is suing VH1 owner Viacom, along with show producers Lighthearted Entertainment and Firelight Entertainment, for $10 million, as well as unspecified damages related to her loss of income related to the show’s revealing shots. While she signed up for the show’s premise, Nizewitz alleges she didn’t realize that would mean she would be shown naked below the waist, given that the show is supposed to blur out contestants’ private parts, the story reports.

In a beach scene in the July 31 episode, Nizewitz claims the program “as broadcast, shows Plaintiff’s wrestling takedown of her date, but Defendants did not blur out her vagina and anus, which were fully exposed to all viewers,” according to the complaint.

The suit adds: “Plaintiff, who was watching the initial showing, was shocked, horrified, and outraged to observe this intrusion into her privacy to all to see.”

Nizewitz claims she was told while filming the series that her genitals would be blurred or cropped out, and that producers gave her additional assurances about blurring before she agreed to the wrestling scene.

“Since the initial airing of the third episode of ‘Dating Naked,’ Plaintiff has suffered and continues to suffer severe extreme emotional distress, mental anguish, humiliation and embarrassment, as the uncensored episode and uncensored pictures therefrom have been uploaded to various Internet websites including YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Tumblr,” the complaint alleges.

  1. If I were the judge in this case, I’d find for the defendant, and then award her a dollar. As if being on a show called “Dating Naked” wasn’t already an “intrusion into her privacy to all to see.”

  2. I’ll second that motion Scott !!

  3. And I’ll third that motion, Scott.

    That someone would agree to appear on something called “Dating Naked” them complain about the “intrusion into her privacy” when she’s shown naked is pretty hilarious.

  6. I wondered who came up with that show, anyway. I would throw out the lawsuit altogether and say, “Miss Nizewitz, you signed up for appearing on ‘Dating Naked’. Also, as I assume, your wrestling scene looked like a sex scene. Also, your breasts were not blurred out.

    “You assumed a responsibility to have certain expectations when you singed up for ‘Dating Naked’. Not only do I find for the defendant and throw out the lawsuit; I also ask them to file suit against you for having filed a frivolous lawsuit in the first place.”

  7. The infamous “Captain Kutchie Pelaez”.! That’s it!! I just got it!…It just popped into my head, right-out of the blue!
    I can’t believe that we have all been so stupid for the past 20 or so years about something that was right in front of our noses. Elder, you hit the nail on the head! Can’t you all see it?..Elder called the mystery key lime pie man “The Infamous Captain Kutchie Pelaez”. Can all of you Morons see it now? It’s just Brilliant, just Brilliant Elder. Elder called Kutchie Pelaez…..”The INfamous Captain Kutchie Pelaez”!!!..INFAMOUS! That’s It!!! INFAMOUS, INFAMOUS Means
    More than FAMOUS!

    Captain Kutchie Pelaez is MORE than FAMOUS, He’s more than famous, he is INFAMOUS! And that’s pretty DAMN SMART if you ask me. HELL, that’s “INSMART”. Captain Kutchie Pelaez is more than FAMOUS, Captain Kutchie Pelaez is MORE THAN SMART!….Pardon all the dots, no they’re not some kind of secret code or anything that I know of.

    The One really Big Thing that none of these crazy posts ever comments about are The Million’s of Dollars that the Infamous Captain Kutchie Pelaez gives away to his lucky Prime Rib eaters every month. We usually only hear about his famous cheese burgers in paradise but the man’s Prime Ribs in Swamp Water are the best thing that I have ever put in my mouth! The finest Prime Ribs this side if Heaven, they will melt in your mouth. Our whole family goes over to Kutcharitaville at least twice a week for Captain Kutchie’s amazing Prime Ribs. Also we can enter the contest for the monthly million dollar give away every month. My cousin won a million dollars last year. His wife won a new Jaguar car
    two months later. I won a car before Christmas and you talk about nice. It was INNICE!…that means it was more than nice.
    Y’all keep eating at Captain Kutchie’s and keep you’re fingers crossed whenever you enjoy Kutchie’s World Famous Roast Prime Ribs of Beef and Key Lime Pie and just maybe, if you’re lucky you might win yourself a cool Million Dollars!
