'Love is Blind' star Stacy Snyder reveals payout from class-action lawsuit
The "Love is Blind" production company settled with more than 100 cast and crew members in a 2022 class-action lawsuit. Stacy Snyder, one of the "Love is Blind" cast members who took legal action against the show, has shared how much she made off of the multi-million dollar class action lawsuit. Snyder was on Season 5 of the popular Netflix dating show, where she made it down the aisle with contestant Izzy Zapata, before calling the engagement off at the altar. Originally, the pair said they planned to stay together and work on things, but they ended up breaking up about a week after the season aired. Snyder joined in on what became a class-action lawsuit against the show's production company, Kinetic Content, after it was originally filed by Season 2 contestant Jeremey Hartwell in July 2022, alleging that cast members were forced to work long hours in poor conditions with no pay. In December 2024, Netflix chose to settle for $1.4 million to be divided amongst all parties, more than a third of which was designated for attorneys' fees. Here is what to know about the lawsuit and how much Snyder received from the settlement. What does the 'Love is Blind' lawsuit say? The complaint obtained by USA TODAY accuses Kinetic of enforcing "unsafe and inhumane working conditions," exerting "excessive control" over cast members' lives and pushing "sleep deprivation, isolation, lack of food and excessive alcohol" on contestants for "entertainment value." The cast and crew were required to work 20 hours a day, seven days a week, for just $1,000 per week, the suit also alleged, equating to just $7.14 per hour. The lawsuit ultimately included around 144 former cast and crew members. How much did Stacy Snyder receive from the settlement? Snyder shared what her cut looked like on TikTok in July, posting a video of herself opening the settlement check with the caption, "when the trauma turns into a direct deposit." "This is what I am owed for filming not even two full months," she said, showing an $8,287 check to the camera. "This is more than I got paid for filming an entire season of 12 to 20-hour workdays." In the TikTok, Snyder says she doesn't "know if (she's) mad or happy," adding that "it's more of the justice piece and not the money." "It's just sick that people who have power take advantage of people they know don't know any better in these situations," she said.

E.l.f. Cosmetics responds to backlash over casting comedian Matt Rife in new beauty ad
Rife was criticized in 2023 for making a joke about domestic violence in his Netflix comedy special. Beauty company E.l.f. Cosmetics responded to backlash this week over its new ad campaign starring comedian Matt Rife, who was criticized for making a joke about domestic violence in his 2023 comedy special. 'You know us, we're always listening and we've heard you,' the brand wrote on Instagram on Wednesday. 'This campaign aimed to humorously spotlight beauty injustice. We understand we missed the mark with people we care about in our e.l.f. community.' The commercial in question features Rife and drag queen Heidi N Closet playing 'beauty attorneys' who want to protect their clients from overpriced beauty products from other brands. The ad was posted on social media on Aug. 11, and the comments section was quickly flooded with questions about why the company would associate with Rife. The ad was still up on E.l.f.'s official Instagram page as of Thursday. Rife has not commented on the backlash but wrote 'Had a great time ❤️❤️' on E.l.f.'s post responding to the criticism. E.l.f. Beauty, the parent company of E.l.f. Cosmetics, did not respond to Yahoo's request for comment. 'We're very surprised,' Kory Marchisotto, E.l.f. Beauty's global chief marketing officer, told Business of Fashion about the negative response to the ad. 'There is a big gap between our intention and how this missed the mark for some people.' Marchisotto said that Rife was cast in the E.l.f. ad because of his TikTok following, which, she said, is 80% female and 75% under the age of 34. Rife's social media following showed strong, positive engagement, Marchisotto added, which factored into the casting decision. (Rife posted the E.l.f. ad on his own Instagram on Tuesday and received many supportive comments from fans.) 'We always aim to deliver positivity, and this one didn't,' Marchisotto told Business of Fashion. 'So we find ourselves in a position where, quite honestly, that doesn't feel good for us.' Rife has been a stand-up comedian for over a decade and made headlines in November 2023 over his Netflix special Natural Selection. In one of the first jokes of the special, he suggests that a waitress with a black eye must not work in the restaurant's kitchen because 'if she could cook, she wouldn't have that black eye.' 'I figure we start the show with domestic violence, the rest of the show should be pretty smooth sailing after that,' Rife says after the joke. Many slammed the joke online and criticized Rife for using a platform as big as Netflix to make light of domestic violence against women. In response to the Natural Selection controversy, Rife wrote in an Instagram Story, 'If you've ever been offended by a joke I've told — here's a link to my official apology.' The link led to a website that sold medical helmets for people with special needs, NBC News reported at the time. Most of E.l.f.'s ads from the last few years have aimed to be as culturally and topically relevant as possible, from casting Jennifer Coolidge at the height of her White Lotus popularity in the brand's first Super Bowl commercial in 2023 to partnering with activist and astronaut Amanda Nguyen for Blue Origin's first all-female spaceflight. In May, the company acquired Hailey Bieber's Rhode skin care brand in a $1 billion deal. Solve the daily Crossword

Jussie Smollett's 2019 Alleged Attack Gets Investigated in Upcoming Netflix Documentary: Watch the Trailer
Netflix has released a trailer for the streaming giant's The Truth About Jussie Smollett? documentary, which is set to uncover all angles of the alleged January 2019 attack against the Empire actor in Chicago. Jussie Smollett has maintained his innocence in the case, as the debate of whether or not the incident was a hoax or a hate crime has continued in the more than six years since the incident. More from Billboard Beats Wireless Earbuds Are Just $59 Right Now - An All-Time Low Price A Series on Flow La Movie's Life Is in the Works: Here's Everything We Know Taylor Swift Says Bad Bunny's 'Happy Gilmore 2' Performance 'Delighted' Her: 'His Comedic Timing Is So Good' 'The villains are the two people who assaulted me, the Chicago Police Department and, if I may be so brave, the mayor,' Smollett told Variety on Wednesday (Aug. 13). 'We're living in a world where the higher-ups, their main mission, in order to do all of the underhanded things that they're doing, is to distract us with the shiny object.' The doc invites various members of law enforcement, journalists, lawyers and investigators to uncover every angle of the case with one goal in mind: to find the truth about what happened on Jan. 29, 2019. Smollett claimed he was the victim of a hate crime executed by two men who tied a noose around his neck and poured bleach on him while screaming things like 'MAGA' and hurling racial and homophobic slurs at him. 'Some things kind of struck me as a little odd,' said former Chicago Police Department superintendent Eddie Johnson in the trailer. 'We were going through the polar vortex at the time. Who is out in the street with it being cold out there?' Smollett is then shown sitting down for an interview, but the clip ends without revealing what he has to say. The actor was found guilty by a jury in 2021 on five felony counts of disorderly conduct for a false police report. He was sentenced to 150 days in jail but served only six days before being released on bail. Smollett also reached a settlement with the city of Chicago to pay $50,000 to the Building Brighter Futures Center for the Arts in May. His conviction was ultimately overturned by the Illinois Supreme Court in November. Watch The Truth About Jussie Smollett? trailer below.
