If you can’t beat them, join them… that’s exactly what Chelsea Blackwell seems to be doing after being dragged on the Internet over her Megan Fox comparison.
As previously mentioned, the super sweet contestant from “Love Is Blind” recently went viral after her conversation with Jimmy Presnell in the pods hit the internet over the weekend. In the clip, the event planner and flight attendant, 31, told him she had often been told she looked like the Jennifer’s Body actress. Of course, when social media users caught wind of the clip, they had a field day with it online.
While there were a few people who agreed she resembles Fox… even slightly, others were quick to compare her to other celebrities including Baddies star Natalie Nunn or Khloe Kardashian. Now, Chelsea has seen the wild tweets, memes, and posts, and while she’s not here for the trolling, she did share some funny and light-hearted clips of her own. In her most recent TikTok, she jokingly said, “This would be a great time for the people who have ever told me I resembled her to come forward… please.”
Aside from that, she recently urged trolls to ‘cool it’ after she was slammed for the comparison. She also re-posted a statement from her friend that pointed out how “mean” viewers can be. It read, “Thank you all who are from our hometown and know Chels for all of your love and support for her through this! It’s been so exciting to watch her and see everything! Also very hard because people are so mean here on the internet and take reality TV way too seriously. Like it’s a show yall, we need to cool it. Here’s what people who are criticizing the cast needs to understand…
These are real people with feelings, and emotions. With families and friends reading the comments. We’re ALL imperfect, all trying our best. Please respect the cast through this. Remember, this show has AMAZING editors… that want to get drama and tell a narrative. They are great at their jobs. We only see a little bit of the hours and hours they film. God talks a lot in scripture about judgment, and how we can’t judge others because we’re all imperfect. Let’s not forget.”
Either way, Chelsea feels extremely grateful for her experience on the show as she attempted to find love in an unconventional way.
