Australian Survivor contestant Jackie Glazier has filed a lawsuit against the TV show after undergoing an injury during her stint on the 2023 season.
As first reported by the Sunday Herald Sun, Jackie who appeared on the Heroes vs Villains season in 2023 is suing the show’s network Endemol Shine due to a broken collarbone she sustained while filming.
According to Jackie, from her collarbone injury, she developed thoracic outlet syndrome, which has given her pain and restricted movement in her shoulder and arm.
What did Jackie sue for?
Jackie lodged the lawsuit in the Victorian Supreme Court, seeking damages, loss of earnings, both past and future, and medical expenses.
The lawsuit noted that since the injury Jackie has been unable to do her household duties and it has had a “long-term” impact on her health and professional life.
The injury was sustained during one of the Australian Survivor challenges when herself and fellow contestant George Mladenov approached a rolling block and fell face down into a pit of mud.
Watch the moment below.
The lawsuit notes that the pit had only 30 centimetres of water rather than 1.5 metres, which didn’t provide a safe landing for the contestants.
Jackie had to pull out of the competition due to her injured collarbone. She was only paid $25,000 for her appearance and the prize money was $500,000.
At the time of publishing Jackie’s Instagram has no imagery from her time on Australian Survivor, the only mention of the show in her bio.
She has also made no public comment on the lawsuit.
Jackie played a villain during her stint in the 2023 season. Outside of Australian Survivor, Jackie is a professional poker player.
