'Love Is Blind': Natalie Lee and Deepti Vempati Think Co-Star Nick Thompson Can't Blame Show for Unemployment

etonline.com:

co-stars don't agree with the former reality star's take on his current job situation. After Nick shared that he was let go from his job as a VP of marketing last November and that he'smonths away from homelessness, his season 2 co-stars, Natalie Lee and Deepti Vempati, discussed his predicament on their podcast.

Nick partially blamed his time on the hit Netflix dating show for ruining his career prospects and for being partially responsible for being let go in the first place. «It's tough because Deepti and I are in a very different position than him… we have definitely monetized off our time on.

It sucks to read that he is in a really hard position,» Natalie says of Nick, who tied the knot with Danielle Ruhl on the show only for the former couple to file for divorce in August 2022. «It's tough to say because we both know Nick personally, but can I be honest, though, I don't think that he can blame the show.»«I agree,» Deepti replies. «You and I both had corporate jobs and yes, the show did impact our jobs, but I don't think it's impacted our ability to get hired.

It didn't impact our reputation that much,» Natalie shares. Noting that she felt she had a «sloppy» edit during the special, Natalie adds, «I don't think the show made me unhirable by any means.»Both women reveal that they have since quit their corporate roles after monetizing off their time on the show. «Yeah, I am very empathetic to his situation, but I think that there's more factors than Netflix being the reason why he's not able to find a position,» Deepti notes.
