Megan Fox reveals what she REALLY thinks of her Love Is Blinds ‘look-alike’ Chelsea Blackwell
Megan Fox has broken her silence on the drama surrounding Love Is Blind’s Chelsea Blackwell comparing herself to the actress in the latest season of the Netflix reality series.
The Jennifer’s Body actress, 37 – who sizzled in a black dress and blue hair at the Revolve festival during Coachella – shared her thoughts on the subject during an interview with E! News Saturday at the music festival.
Midway through the show’s sixth season, Chelsea said she’s been told she looks like the Transformers star while talking to fellow contestant Jimmy Presnell in pods – and notably became the target of trolls soon after.
Although Fox has not seen Love Is Blind, she explained that she was aware of the drama. ‘I’ve never had more people write to me about anything because I don’t really watch much TV.’
‘But I’ve had a lot of people write to me and stop me. Even other celebrities at similar Oscar parties said, “Are you watching Love Is Blind?” And I was like, “No, but I know what you’re talking about.”

She then came to Blackwell’s defence, stating: ‘I didn’t see it, but I think in general no one deserves to be bullied.’
‘I don’t think she deserved it. I think people went way too hard.’
As for the comparison, Megan revealed to E! News that she has seen a photo of Chelsea. ‘One hundred thousand percent, people have told her, “You look a little like Megan Fox.”
So I believe she is telling the truth and I hope she still has that twinkle in her eye. I hope the world hasn’t stolen it from her.’
Fox added: ‘Mine died a long time ago from being bullied for 20 years. So I hope it didn’t happen to her. Best wishes and blessings.’
During the sixth season of the popular Netflix reality dating show – which aired from February to March this year – Chelsea had a conversation with Jimmy in pods.
While getting to know each other, she told him that she has been compared to the actress, but added that she didn’t exactly agree with the comparison.

Speaking to the cameras, Jimmy expressed: ‘She definitely lied to me about something, uh, how she looked. Chelsea told me she looked like Megan Fox.’
However, he added that he was still ‘attracted’ to Blackwell. ‘In the end it doesn’t matter that much. I am very attracted to her – I can work with that’.
The flight attendant also notably faced backlash and trolls on social media, with one writing: “chelsea is megan fox from temu.”
Another wrote: ‘Jimmy really said “I can work with that.” When he was interviewed after he saw her.’
‘Megan Fox, who lied to her? And he only chose her because she said so, another social media user added.

Blackwell himself also clapped back at haters earlier this year in February, telling trolls to ‘cool it’.
She also apologized to Megan over the drama as she spoke Entertainment tonight. ‘I reached out to her and I was like, “I’m so sorry I did this to you.” I’m just waiting for Megan to answer.’
