Love Is Blind Star Chelsea Blackwell Reaches Out to Megan Fox Following Lookalike Comparisons

Love Is Blind season 6 star Chelsea Blackwell has revealed she reached out to Megan Fox following those lookalike comparisons.

While in the pods, Blackwell, 31, told Jimmy Presnell, 28, that she had often been told she looked like the Transformers star Megan Fox. Although Blackwell acknowledged she didn’t really see the comparison herself and told Presnell not to ‘get excited’ on the show, she’s since admitted on social media that people have been ‘so mean.’

The remarks garnered so much attention that Blackwell felt the need to contact Megan Fox herself. ‘I did reach out to her [Fox], and I was like, “I’m so sorry I did this to you,”‘ Blackwell told PEOPLE in an interview published Thursday.

After Blackwell and Presnell’s first meeting following her pod comments, he said in a confessional interview that, even though he was still attracted to his fiancée, she had ‘lied’ to him about her appearance.

Blackwell faced criticism online and took to TikTok and Instagram to weigh in on fans’ reactions. Posting a video of herself holding a drink and dancing to Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song,” she wrote in the caption, ‘Go on a show for love > get your butt dragged through the trenches.’

Meanwhile, Blackwell’s relationship with Presnell might have had its issues, but on Thursday he took to Instagram after she confronted him for not kissing her enough in recent episodes. Alongside a snap of the pair kissing, which was taken the day Blackwell first met his friends Barbara and Maddie, Presnell joked this is ‘proof I kiss chels 🤣.’

‘Chelsea is an amazing person and loves so hard,’ he added. ‘Due to time, a lot of the full story this far wasn’t shown. There are reasons we are both fighting for each other and sticking to our promise.’

Episodes 1-9 of Love Is Blind season 6 are now streaming on Netflix, with episode 10 set to drop next Wednesday.
