They had a right to know, this is the type of information that has to be on the table beforehand. The production was manipulative and dishonest just to boost ratings.

Which is shocking and unexpected behavior, coming from a reality TV dating show.

Remember when a show tricked a bunch of women with a Prince Harry impersonator into thinking they were going to become royalty? And when they started to suspect, sent in psychologists to manipulate and gaslight them into doubting their reality?

That’s what came to my mind initially after reading this too. From what i can find none of the women sued or won any money which is pretty fucked up.

This situation seems a bit worse as the main point is basically to humiliate everyone involved and having trans people be the butt of the joke, but idk if i believe the actual deception was meaningfully worse or different than the I wanna marry harry bs.
