Megan Fox has broken her silence on the drama surrounding Love Is Blind’s Chelsea Blackwell, comparing herself to the actress in the most recent 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 on Saturday at the music festival.
Midway through the show’s sixth season, Chelsea said she was told she looked like the Transformers star while talking to fellow contestant Jimmy Presnell in the pods — and notably became the target of trolls shortly after.
Although Fox has not seen Love Is Blind, she explained that she was aware of the drama. “I’ve never had so many people text me about anything because I don’t watch that much TV.”
“But I’ve had a lot of people text me and hold me back. Even other celebrities at Oscar parties were like, “Are you watching Love Is Blind?” And I was like, ‘No, but I know what you’re talking about.'”

She then defended Blackwell, saying, “I haven’t seen it, but I think in general no one deserves to be bullied.”
‘I don’t think she deserved that. I think people went way too fast.”
Regarding the comparison, Megan revealed to E! News that she saw a photo of Chelsea. “One hundred thousand percent, people have said to her, ‘You look a bit like Megan Fox.'”
“So I believe she’s telling the truth and I hope she still has that sparkle in her eye. I hope the world didn’t steal it from her.’
Fox added: “Mine died a long time ago after being bullied for 20 years. So I hope that didn’t happen to her. Best wishes and blessings.”
During the sixth season of the hit Netflix reality dating show – which aired from February to March this year – Chelsea had a chat with Jimmy in the pods.
While getting to know each other, she told him she was being compared to the actress, but added that she didn’t exactly agree with the comparison.
When both Chelsea and Jimmy were revealed to each other during an episode, he specifically said that she had “lied” to him.

While talking to the cameras, Jimmy said, “She definitely lied to me about what she looked like. Chelsea told me she looked like Megan Fox.”
However, he added that he was still “attracted” to Blackwell. ‘In the end it doesn’t really matter. I feel very attracted to her, I can work with that.’
The flight attendant also had to deal with reactions and trolls on social media, with one token: ‘chelsea is megan fox from temu.’
Another wrote: ‘Jimmy actually said, ‘I can work with that.’ When he was interviewed after seeing her.”
“Megan Fox, who lied to her? And he only singled her out because she said so,” another social media user added.
However, one person came out in support of Chelsea, typing: “The Megan Fox joke is boring now guys, I think Chelsea is beautiful despite what she did,” while adding that it’s “not easy” to be bullied and to have “compassion ‘ to call up.
Blackwell himself also clapped back at haters earlier this year in February, telling trolls to “cool it down.”
She also apologized to Megan for the drama while talking Entertainment tonight. “I contacted her and I was like, ‘I’m so sorry I did this to you.’ I’m just waiting for Megan to answer.”

And while you’re talking GlamourChelsea admitted she wished she had never discussed the Megan Fox comparison. “I obviously 100 percent regret bringing this up.”
On the show, both Chelsea and Jimmy did not get married, which she later revealed Entertainment weekly last month in March they had tried dating after the series ended.
“We tried dating for four days after that, and we really tried. We did our best, but it just didn’t work out.’
She continued, “He called me and said he realized he didn’t want a relationship. This experiment took a lot of effort and it just didn’t work.’
Fox itself has also been busy, celebrating weekend one of Coachella in Indio, California.
On Saturday, the star attended the star-studded Revolve Festival and showed off her figure in a figure-hugging black mini dress with a hem that stopped a few inches above her knees.
A leather belt was wrapped around her waist for an edgy flair, and she also donned open-toe, clear heels.
