Jessie Nizewitz, 28, appeared on an episode of VH1's summer reality show Dating Naked that aired back in May. Apparently, one scene features Nizewitz wrestling on a beach with her date, and a shot failed to blur out all of her private parts.
"I think they owe me a huge apology," Nizewitz said — and also $10 million, according to her lawsuit filed against Viacom, which operates VH1.

How a contestant on what has to be one of the more literally named reality shows ever was so caught off guard by a blurring fail is unknown. What Nizewitz does know for sure is that the shot — definitely the un-blurred shot and not the entire episode featuring her dating naked — ended a "budding relationship."
"He never called me again after the show aired," she said. "He was employed, Jewish, in his 30s and that's pretty much ideal."
Hey, there's plenty of fish in the sea and reality dating shows still to appear on and subsequently sue.
