Megan Fox has finally addressed the comparisons between herself and Chelsea Blackwell from Love Is Blind. Of course, in true Megan Fox fashion, she showed nothing but grace and empathy in her response.
The actress was asked to share her thoughts on the situation during an interview at Coachella with E! News host @erinlimrhodes. Despite not being an avid TV watcher, Fox revealed that numerous people have reached out to her about the resemblance. She explained, “I’ve never had more people text me about something, because I don’t really watch TV very much,” Fox, 37, began saying. “But I’ve had a lot of people text me and stop me. Even other celebrities at like Oscar parties were like, ‘Do you watch Love is Blind?’ And I was like, ‘No, but I know what you’re talking about.'”
She went on to say, “I didn’t watch it, but I think in general, no one deserves to get bullied. I don’t think she deserved that. I think people went way too hard.” Furthermore, the actress admitted that she does see a resemblance between her and the reality star.
“I did see a picture of her. A hundred thousand percent, people have told her, ‘You kind of look like Megan Fox,'” the Jennifer’s Body lead stated. “So I believe she’s telling the truth.”
Having experienced her own share of bullying in the past, Fox expressed hope that Blackwell maintains her confidence and inner light despite the negativity.
“I hope like she still has that sparkle in her eye. I hope the world didn’t steal it from her,” Fox continued. “Mine died long ago from being bullied for 20 years. So I hope that didn’t happen to her. Best wishes and blessings. I don’t think she deserved that.”
