Love is Blind’s Chelsea apologizes to Megan Fox after making comparison in pods
US WeeklyChelsea Blackwell compared herself to Megan Fox on Love Is Blind Season 6, and has now issued an apology to the Hollywood actress.
Chelsea Blackwell was interested in forming a connection with Jimmy Presnell on Love Is Blind Season 6.
The reality star told Jimmy she looked like the famous actress Megan Fox in the pods because of her eyes.
When Jimmy left the pods to meet Chelsea in person, he was shocked to find out that she didn’t resemble Megan as much as she’d claimed.
Chelsea received backlash online for falsely comparing herself to Fox, and is now doing damage control for the mishap.
NetflixChelsea’s viral moment still gained celebrity attention
In an interview with ET, Chelsea revealed that she contacted the movie star and apologized for saying she looked like her on Love Is Blind.
“I did reach out to her, and I was like, ‘I’m so sorry I did this to you.’ I’m just waiting for Megan to respond,” Chelsea explained.
On TikTok, Chelsea posted a video message for her followers, saying, “This would be a great time for the people who have ever told me that I resembled her [Fox] to come forward. Please. I’m begging you.”
While it’s unclear if Fox saw the video, Uncut Gems star Julia Fox commented and wrote, “Don’t worry sis. I see it.” Although she shares the same last name as the actress, they’re not related.
Even though Chelsea’s claim of being Fox’s doppelgänger received negative attention from fans, it went viral online and became an iconic moment on Love Is Blind Season 6.
Critics have accused Chelsea of taking advantage of her time in the pods by describing herself as a Megan Fox lookalike when it wasn’t really true.
As the rest of the season unfolds, viewers will see if Chelsea’s false comparison ruins her relationship with Jimmy and if Fox publicly responds to the apology.
