A contestant on VH1's Dating Naked is suing the show's producers and VH1 after a shot of her crotch made it past censors and aired on national television, the New York Post reports.

During a naked wrestling segment on the series' third episode, which aired on July 31, a non-blurred shot of Jessie Nizewitz accidentally aired on the final broadcast. "I felt lied to, manipulated and used. I was horrified," Nizewitz, 28, told The Post. She's now seeking $10 million in damages.

"I think they owe me a huge apology," she tells The Post.

After the episode, Nizewitz says she was assailed by text messages and on social media by friends and strangers alike. She claims the mishap torpedoed a "budding relationship" with a man she had been seeing, and says her family members are less than thrilled as well. "My grandma saw it," Nizewitz tells The Post. "I saw her this week and she didn't have much to say to me. She's probably mad. My parents are just annoyed."
