Love Is Blind's Chelsea

Chelsea haters haven’t eased up on slamming her for that Megan Fox comment, and Love Is Blind fans are over it.

At this point, even people who haven’t watched a single episode of Love Is Blind are aware of the Megan Fox fiasco.

In the Season 6 pods, hopeful single Chelsea Blackwell was speaking with her now-fiancé Jimmy Presnell, and told him that she has been told she resembles the A-list celebrity and he practically lit up like a Christmas tree.

Following this lookalike statement, Jimmy proposed to her and she accepted. However, the second the couple met after their engagement he called her a liar for not looking like Megan Fox at all.

The fiasco went viral, to the point where Chelsea personally reached out to the actress to apologize (and she hasn’t responded yet). It still hasn’t died down yet and fans are starting to feel bad for her.

Love Is Blind fans are rallying behind Chelsea

On February 29, LIB viewers took to Reddit to come to the defense of Chelsea and all of the backlash she’s received.

Specifically, people are continuing to write hateful comments regarding her appearance.

One fan wrote, “It’s one thing to say “I don’t think she looks like Megan Fox” but to make fun of her looks is a whole other story. It’s not only bullying her but does anyone ever stop to think about the other people in the world who might look like her?”

Another fan chimed in and wrote, “The internet needs to back off her. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to take everything in stride. I’m sick of people making fun of her.”

Chelsea is currently seeing a therapist following the premiere of Season 6.
