Love is blind viewers thought they would never see the live reunion special footage. It was later revealed that this was due to extreme technical difficulties experienced by Netflix. But reality TV fans aren’t the only ones worried about the streaming giant. A short clip from the show featured in the 2022 Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) Netflix documentary Jeen-Yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy is at the center of a new trial, according to TMZ.
A Chicago woman named Cynthia Love is seeking $30,000 in damages from the directors of the three-part series Coodie Simmons and Chike Ozah as well as Netflix. Love, who appeared in the video for Ye’s single “Through The Wire,” also directed by Simmons, claims in the lawsuit that the extended version of her used in the series shows her in an “altered state” in which she ” was not capable of giving consent.”
The defendant alleged that when the footage was first captured, she was compensated $20. Her appearance in the music video was minor as she is seen dancing in what appears to be a restaurant while not in a good frame of mind. Love shared that the use of the extended footage shows her “dark past” that she worked nearly two decades to escape from.
Love insists she was not contacted personally to consent to use the extended footage, saying Simmons told her son ‘he assumed she was dead’ instead of trying to contact her before the release of the documentary.
