Mike Brockway, a contestant from Season 9 of the hit Netflix show Love Is Blind, is facing significant legal and financial challenges. The real estate investor, who was portrayed as a successful entrepreneur, is now dealing with a lawsuit and a wave of complaints from clients and service providers who allege they were never paid for their work.
The Colorado Hospitality Services Lawsuit
A company called Colorado Hospitality Services took legal action against Mike Brockway and his company, Mile High Event Management LLC, in September 2023. The lawsuit accused them of breach of contract. While court records show the case was settled by February 2024, the specific terms of the settlement were not made public. This legal dispute raised questions about whether Mike’s businesses were structured to handle large contracts reliably.
A Flood of Client and Vendor Complaints
Beyond the lawsuit, Mike and his companies face numerous public complaints. Clients of his firm, Peak Event Partners, have come forward with stories of paying deposits for wedding services that were never provided. Some customers reported that the company’s office was found empty and communication stopped entirely just before their events.
The allegations extend to his other business, Zen Haus Homes, a luxury Airbnb brand. A cleaning service named Scrub Club Denver publicly called out Mike on social media, claiming his company owes them thousands of dollars. They stated that Mike ignored all their messages and even letters from their lawyer. Their post on the official Love Is Blind Instagram page prompted many others to share similar experiences of unpaid services.
Social Media Backlash and Fan Reactions
The controversy quickly spread online, with viewers and alleged creditors using social media to voice their concerns. A detailed video from TikTok creator @storytimewithrikkii compiled screenshots of messages and legal letters from multiple people claiming Mike did not pay them. This fueled further discussion about his business practices.
Fans of the show have also expressed frustration with Netflix and the producers of Love Is Blind, questioning how thoroughly they vet their participants. Comments on social media and forums have criticized the show for potentially putting other cast members in uncomfortable situations.
Mike Brockway’s Response and On-Show Controversy
Mike has not directly addressed the specific allegations. However, he has posted cryptic messages on his Instagram. In one post, he wrote, “Still learning, still growing. I’m not perfect and I never will be, but my intentions have always come from a place of curiosity, care, and wanting to understand people better.” He added that stumbling is part of growth when moving outside your comfort zone.
During his time on Love Is Blind, Mike was involved in another uncomfortable moment. In a conversation with his pod connection, Megan Walerius, he seemed to suggest that a child’s Type 1 diabetes could be managed solely through diet, a comment that drew criticism from viewers who pointed out the cause of Type 1 diabetes is not fully understood and is not directly linked to diet.
Ongoing Fallout for the Reality Star
The legal and financial issues present a stark contrast to the image Mike presented on the show. His Love Is Blind bio described him as a “jack of all trades who loves to spread the wealth.” His companies are now under intense public scrutiny, and his reputation has taken a major hit. The situation highlights the intense scrutiny reality TV stars face and how their off-screen lives can collide with their on-screen personas.
