Warning: This post contains spoilers from season 6 of Netflix’sLove Is Blind.
Love Is Blind’sChelsea Blackwellis weighing in on fans’ reaction to her claim she’s been compared toMegan Fox.
Viewers were buzzing all weekend about Blackwell’s resemblance (or lack thereof) to Fox, 37, after the event planner and flight attendant, 31, toldJimmy Presnellshe had often been told she looked like theJennifer’s Bodystar.
That conversation — in which Blackwell also acknowledged she didn’t really see the comparison herself and told Presnell not to “get excited” — took place through an opaque wall in the pods before the couple got engaged and were able to see each other in the flesh. Immediately after their first meeting, though, Presnell said in a confessional interview that, even though he was still attracted to his fiancée, she had “lied” to him about her appearance. With Presnell struggling to compliment much more about Blackwell than her teeth, her growing insecurities are sure to spell for trouble as their engagement plays out on the show over the next few weeks.

Now that the show’s first six episodes have aired, Blackwell decided to address the Fox hubbub head-on Sunday onTikTokandInstagram.
Posting a video of herself holding a beverage and dancing toLed Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song,” she added the caption: “Go on a show for love > get your butt dragged through the trenches.”
Carter’s note also mentioned that there are editors behindLove Is Blindwho “want to get drama and tell a narrative” before concluding with a reminder not to be judgmental.

Before Presnell and Blackwell agreed to marry, she had also formed a connection withTrevor Sova, while he was considering taking the next step withJessica Vestal. Ultimately, Presnell admitted he wasn’t “100 percent” confident about proposing to Vestal, who isthe show’s first-ever single mom, and went straight from that breakup to the pod with Blackwell. And because Presnell’s meetup with Blackwell was scheduled before Sova’s, their fates were seemingly sealed.
Now the season 6 couples are on the brink of returning home to Charlotte, North Carolina, amid tensions over Presnell’s comment in Mexico aboutAmber Desiree “AD” Smith’s “stacked” body. And as a teaser for the next batch of episodes showed, both Blackwell and Presnell are going to reconnect with their former flames, which will certainly make for a rocky road to the altar.
