NBC has been under fire from reality stars and its looking like BRAVO is claiming that their reality stars have been put through “grotesque and depraved mistreatment.”
A letter sent to NBC from attorneys Bryan Freedman and Mark Geragos, claimed that former cast members and crew as well as current members of their reality shows are being tormented with allegations claiming:
— Deliberate attempts to manufacture mental instability by plying cast members with alcohol while depriving them of food and sleep
— Denying mental health treatment to cast members displaying obvious and alarming signs of mental deterioration
— Exploiting minors for uncompensated and sometimes long-term appearances on NBC reality TV shows
— Distributing and/or condoning the distribution of non-consensual pornography
— Covering up acts of sexual violence
— Refusing to allow cast members the freedom to leave their shows, even under dire circumstances
This letter claims it wants NBC to retain information about “nonconsensual pornography in connection with cast members … [and] alleged sexual violence perpetrated by or against cast members …”
Their lawyers have also claimed that NBC “threatened [cast members] with ruin should they decide to speak out about their mistreatment.”
This all lines up with Bethenny Frankel’s when she wanted reality stars to unionize.
