AceShowbiz - Chelsea Blackwell has seemingly regretted comparing herself to Megan Fox. Following backlash from viewers and fans of the actress, the "Love Is Blind" star says that she has apologized to the "Transformers" beauty.
"I did reach out to her [Megan], and I was like, 'I'm so sorry I did this to you,' " Chelsea tells ET Online. She, however, hasn't heard back from the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" star, noting, "I'm just waiting for Megan to respond."
While Megan has not given her take on Chelsea's comments, Julia Fox has shown her support for the reality TV star via social media. Recently, the flight defendant posted a funny video on TikTok seeking to clarify where the Megan comparison came from.
"This would be a great time for the people who have ever told me that I resembled her to come forward. Please. I'm begging you," she said in the clip. Seeing this, the "Uncut Gems" actress wrote in the replies section, "Don't worry sis. I see it."
Julia's comment didn't go unnoticed by Chelsea, who shares to the news outlet her feelings when she saw the actress' reaction. "I had a heart attack," she says with a laugh.
Julia faced backlash after she compared herself to Megan in season 6 of the Netflix show. In the pods, she told her love interest Jimmy Presnell, who couldn't see her at the time, that she's often told she looks like the "Jennifer's Body" actress. "It's just because I have dark hair and blue eyes. But I don't see it, so don't get excited," she cautiously told Jimmy as they developed romantic interest in one another without seeing their faces.
After Chelsea and Jimmy revealed their faces to each other, he proposed to her, though he later admitted disappointment with her appearance. "She definitely lied to me on how she looked. Chelsea told me she looks like Megan Fox," he said in a confessional. "But, you know, at the end of the day it doesn't matter. I'm very attracted to her. I can work with that."
Chelsea appeared to respond to the criticism in a TikTok video uploaded earlier this month. In the clip, she held a drink in one hand while Led Zeppelin's hit "Immigrant Song" was playing. "Go on a show for love > get your butt dragged through the trenches," she wrote in the caption.
The 31-year-old also re-posted a statement from her friend who appeared to support her amid the criticism directed at the "Love Is Blind" cast. "People are so mean here on the internet and take reality TV way too seriously," read the original message from Presley Carter which was posted on Instagram Story. "Like it's a show y'all, we need to cool it."
