Love Is Blind Part 3: Renee Poche and Stephen Richardson

Legal team, we are returning to the Real Housewives cinematic universe and going to talk about one of our favorite house husbands to shade, Lenny Hochstein. We’ve covered him before, including his divorce with Lisa, but there’s been a wave of Lenny lawsuits lately that we’re here to dissect. On the docket this week are two cases - one involving allegations of sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress and the other involving medical malpractice. Lenny is being accused of drug facilitated sexual assault by a Jane Doe, and sued by three patients for failures in post operative care. Next week, we’ll be covering the two medical malpractice cases we didn’t get to!What’s on the docket?Jane Doe's Sexual Assault case against LennyBravo’s Docudrama Miami SliceOur thoughts on Jane Doe’s filingsTony Buzbee attached to one of the medical malpractice casesLenny v.

Legal team, on the docket this week we’re starting off our Love Is Blind series strong with Jeremy Hartwell’s lawsuit against Netflix over unpaid wages. Even though they have reached a $1.4 million settlement, we still think this case is worth diving into, as it provides insight into how reality TV stars are compensated. We discuss Jeremy’s complaints and allegations against the network, how class action lawsuits work and who benefits, and the differences and advantages of hiring independent contractors vs. employees. Next week we’ll be discussing another Love Is Blind lawsuit!What’s on the docket?What is Love Is BlindLove is Blind rules about asking about looksMagic Castle anecdote from CesieCesie and Angela’s personal thoughts on the showJeremy Hartwell's labor exploitation and misclassification lawsuitHow class action lawsuits work and who  benefitsJeremy Hartwell’s allegations against the networkWhat are liquidated damages and why are they put in contractsBackground check requirements for Love Is Blind castProvisions in the contract that they’re opposing in this complaintNational Labor Relations Board complaint against Love is Blind Access additional content and our Patreon here: ⁠https://zez.am/thebravodocket⁠  The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.

Legal team, this week on the docket we’re giving an update on Leah McSweeney’s lawsuit against Bravo…you know, one of those cases Andy probably wishes would go away. And then we dive into a new case —Tyra Banks vs. Netflix: why she’s filing this lawsuit, the claims she’s presenting, and of course, where we think she has valid points, and where she does not. Tyra agreed to be in the series Reality Check: Insane America’s Next Top Model, but now is claiming that she was a victim of defamation. We discuss entertainment contracts, and for the non America’s Next Top model watchers, we provide some necessary context around the specific incidents that are brought up in this lawsuit. We’ll be following this case closely…What’s on the docket?How Leah McSweeney gets to proceed with her case in federal court and not go into arbitrationTyra Banks vs. Netflix caseWhat is arbitrationBenefits and disadvantages of arbitrationLeah McSweeney vs. BravoReality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model docuseriesBackground about America’s Next Top ModelANTM controversial TV practicesTyra’s side of the storyOur takes on if Tyra’s arguments are valid or notShandi Sullivan’s storyTyra’s modeling storyNigel Barker, Jay Manuel, and Miss J.
