Love Is Blind, the reality dating show where singles get engaged without seeing each other, is back with its sixth season on Netflix. The new batch of contestants includes Chelsea Blackwell, a 31-year-old flight attendant and event planner from Nashville, Tennessee.
Chelsea made headlines after she told her pod date Jimmy Presnell that she often gets compared to actress Megan Fox.
The pair hit it off in the pods and got engaged after a few days of talking. However, when they finally met face to face, Jimmy seemed disappointed by Chelsea’s appearance and said that she had “lied” to him about how she looked.
This got the event planner a lot of backlash from the media. Some viewers agreed that she did have some resemblance to the Transformers star, while others mocked her for being delusional and arrogant.
Chelsea responded by posting a video on TikTok and Instagram, where she danced to Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song” and captioned it: “Go on a show for love > get your butt dragged through the trenches.”
The Love Is Blind star also shared a message from her friend Presley Carter, who asked fans to “cool it” and respect the cast members. Carter also reminded fans that the show has editors who want to create drama and tell a narrative.
Furthermore, Chelsea Blackwell told Entertainment Tonight that she reached out to Fox via social media and said, “I’m so sorry I did this to you.” However she added that she has not heard back from the actress yet.
Blackwell also said that she did not see the resemblance herself and that she was just trying to make conversation with Presnell.
Netflix releases new episodes of Love Is Blind season 6 every Wednesdays. So tune in to find out who makes it to the altar and who doesn’t.
