For the first time, Kinetic Content CEO Chris Coelen breaks down the allegations of mistreatment on 'Love Is Blind.'
, and says the cast is both physically and mentally protected — from the moment they join the experiment to long after the cameras stop rolling.
Though participants claimed in the Insider story that they weren’t in touch with therapists on set, Coelen says this is untrue, noting that during the pods, two psychologists are present, watching everything that happens from the control room. He says that on the getaway trip, and once the couples move in together, cast members are given a hotline for a specialist who is available 24/7.
Coelen says that in the early seasons, there was a clause that did state there would be a “$50,000 penalty if they quit — a clause that goes back to the earliest days of unscripted television, and it doesn’t apply to our show.” He points toward all of the contestants who’ve left the show since Season 1 including Diamond Jack, Carlton Morton, Shaina Hurley, Kyle Abrams, and says they left without being fined: “We never have enforced it. We’ve never threatened to enforce it.
“You’re asked to stay in your hotel to protect the integrity of the experiment,” Coelen says. “We disconnect their phones and internet so they can’t get online because people are tempted to look people up.” “That’s what we did, starting night two of Season 1. We heard somebody saw a cockroach, so we upgraded. We’re always upgrading our experience of our participants,” Coelen says. “We have people that are there — around the clock, literally 24/7 — who can attend to their needs, if they have any needs.”
