Love Is Blind contestant Chelsea Blackwell has told her haters to ‘cool it’ after she was slammed for saying on her series that people tell her she looks like Megan Fox.
It came after Blackwell named the 37-year-old Transformers star as her celebrity doppelgänger.
Chelsea, a flight attendant, noted that passengers often draw a comparison between her and the silver screen siren while she’s at work.
Blackwell made it clear that she didn’t really think that she looked like the Hollywood actress, but others did.
Once she said it, Jimmy Presnell, a romantic prospect who was on the other side of a partition and had never seen her, perked up.
Love Is Blind contestant Chelsea Blackwell is receiving backlash for comparing herself to Megan Fox on the Netflix series. After a recent episode, fans of the popular dating show took to social media to express their emphatic disagreement
Once Chelsea shared the Megan comparison, Jimmy Presnell, a romantic prospect who was on the other side of a partition and had never seen his fellow contestant, perked up and asked, ‘Can we get married?’
Chelsea followed up the comparison by noting that she didn’t necessarily agree that she looks like the actress.
She did, however, acknowledge that what the two have in common is dark hair and blue eyes.
The reality star attempted to manage Jimmy’s expectations before she muttered, ‘It’s uh, I don’t even know if it’s MGK’s wife or his girlfriend.’
That’s when he asked: ‘Megan Fox? You’re saying you look like Megan Fox?’
He smiled and then asked Chelsea, ‘I mean… can we get married?’
After the two got engaged, they were able to see each other for the first time, and Presnell admitted his disappointment with her appearance.
‘She definitely lied to me about some, uh, how she looked,’ he said to cameras.
Both Chelsea and Jimmy are now catching flack online — the former for mentioning the Fox comparison and the latter for seemingly proposing to her solely for how he thought she looked.
