A former contestant of VH1's Dating Naked reality show is suing the show's producers for $10 million after she asserts that her 'private parts' were shown on national TV. Nizewitz claims that she was promised before going on Dating Naked that the show would blur out "all frontal and genital nudity" during the broadcast, according to her lawsuit filed in New York City this week. 

US Magazine reports that Nizewitz, 28, was "shocked, horrified and outraged to observe this intrusion into her privacy for all to see," when the show was broadcast on July 31. During the episode, Nizewitz engaged in a wrestling match on the beach during which she claims that her crotch was visible for to the show's audience. 

The lawsuit says that the New York model suffered humiliation because of the incident and is seeking damages as a means of compensation.

"Plaintiff has suffered and continues to suffer extreme emotional distress, mental anguish, humiliation and embarrassment. [The] Defendants knew or reasonably should have known that broadcasting an individual's vagina and anus on national cable television would cause substantial and severe emotional distress."

Yikes. Talk about leaving nothing to the imagination--talking about the lawsuit description, not the episode in question. Nizewitz even claims that there were ramifications beyond her own humiliation online. She also claims that the man she was dating at the time of the episode's airing has since ended the relationship without an explanation. She even claims that her grandmother and parents are also (understandably) upset over the incident.

"I have no problem going to a beach in a bikini or people seeing me on TV in a bikini," Nizewitz explained in a statement through her attorney, Matthew J. Blit.

Nizewitz has filed a suit against Viacom (owner of VH1) in addition to two production companies associated with Dating Naked.

"Obviously, I did not expect the world to see my private parts, this is not what I anticipated or what any other contestants on the show anticipated."
