News on Friday, April 12. She stated that she did not watch the show, but she believes that nobody should be bullied. Fox expressed that she thinks Blackwell did not deserve the harsh treatment she received, and that people were too harsh on her.

Fox shared that she has been receiving numerous texts from people about a certain topic. She mentioned that she is not much of a TV watcher. However, she has had many individuals, including other celebrities at Oscar parties, approach her and ask if she watches "Love is Blind." Fox admitted that she doesn't watch the show, but is aware of what they are referring to.

Fox noticed a striking resemblance between herself and Blackwell, 31. She shared, "Many people have mentioned to her, 'You look a lot like Megan Fox.'" Fox expressed her belief in Blackwell's honesty and wished for her to retain her inner sparkle, hoping that the world has not dimmed it.

Blackwell caused a stir in season 6 of the popular reality TV show by mentioning to fellow contestant Jimmy Presnell that people have said she looks like a celebrity on Fox.

She explained that the resemblance is only because they both have dark hair and blue eyes. However, she personally does not see the similarity and advised Presnell not to get too excited. Presnell, who is 28 years old, jokingly responded by asking, "Can we get married?"

After the episode aired in February, her comments sparked a viral debate online as viewers discussed whether she resembled Fox or not. Despite facing criticism, Presnell stepped up to support her.

"Chelsea is facing a lot of backlash, and I feel responsible for it because it was my reaction that caught everyone's attention," he shared with We. "It was my exaggerated reaction with my dropped jaw and widened eyes that went viral, so I could have handled it more calmly."

Presnell noted that he does think Blackwell “resembles” Fox, but doesn’t think the twosome “look” alike.

He explained to Us that the woman didn’t directly say he looked like Megan Fox, but rather mentioned that people had told her. Despite his initial excitement, he acknowledged that he may have misunderstood her words. He felt that she was receiving unwarranted criticism and expressed his willingness to defend her. He emphasized her wonderful qualities and offered to take any backlash on her behalf.

Blackwell, who did not end up with Presnell in the end, admitted that she was uncertain about holding him responsible for the online uproar.

"I do blame him," she said. However, she also expressed uncertainty, stating that the situation escalated due to the "she lied" issue. The conversation between them was meant to be lighthearted and not meant to cause any harm. She was surprised by how much attention and controversy it received, considering it was a simple and forgettable exchange.
