Love is Blind star fears he will soon be homeless as he can’t get a job after the reality TV show

Nick Thompson says he could 'soon be homeless' after losing his job.

The 38-year-old appeared on season two of Netflix's Love Is Blind and recently lost his job.

He told the Daily Mail he has struggled to find a new job in the wake of appearing on the reality TV show.

"I lost my job last November. I'm having an incredibly hard time finding [a new] one," he admitted.

Thompson said he was a VP in a software company and has plenty of experience but no one will offer him work.

"I burned through my savings that cashed out my 401(k). I've got two months left in the bank to pay my mortgage. I can't get a job because people don't take me seriously," he continued.

While he was a contestant on Love Is Blind, Thompson said he was paid just $10,000 for 10 weeks of filming and wasn't offered any residual pay.

"When you think about the amount of money that's being made, and the way that it's the path for future seasons, and the fact that anyone can go on and watch me… and I'm going to be homeless," he told the Daily Mail.

He also claimed that contestants on the show are filmed '18 to 20 hours a day' and were 'held captive like a prisoner'.

"Then when you go home at the end of the day, you're locked in your hotel room without a key, without your wallet, without money, without identification," he said.

"You literally are held captive like a prisoner and there is absolutely no reason that you shouldn't be considered an employee when you're technically under the control of your employer for 24 hours a day."

This isn't the first time Thompson has spoken about his experience on the show.

In a May interview with Insider, he compared being a contestant on the show to being in a cult.

"I recently met someone who was in a cult for 10 years, and this is like that. This is what they did to her," he said.

Along with fellow Love Is Blind alumnus Jeremy Hartwell and clinical psychologist Dr. Isabelle Morley, Thompson has launched the Unscripted Cast Advocacy Network (UCAN), which helps provide mental health and legal support to past, present, and future reality television stars.

Thompson matched with Danielle Ruhl on the show and the pair got married in the finale.

They parted ways just over a year later with Ruhl filing for divorce in August 2022.
