During Love is Blind Season 6, Chelsea Blackwell was often the topic of conversation. Early on, she shocked viewers by saying that people have compared her looks to Megan Fox in the past when not everyone agreed. And although she immediately intrigued her future fiancé Jimmy Presnell with the comparison, fans quickly dragged her, spawning hundreds of jokes on social media — even Megan’s ex-husband Brian Austin Green shared what he thought. And now, we're finally hearing from Megan herself on the situation.

Megan heard a lot about Chelsea's statements.
"I've never had more people text me about something," Megan told E! News over the weekend. "I don't really watch TV very much. But I've had a lot of people text me and stop me. Even other celebrities at like Oscar parties were like, 'Do you watch Love is Blind?' And I was like, 'No, but I know what you're talking about.'"
It all started when Chelsea briefly mentioned that people compare her to Megan on the show.
During one of her pod dates with Jimmy, Chelsea claimed that people had told her she looked like Megan Fox because of her "dark hair and blue eyes." She also admitted that she doesn’t really see the comparison, but Jimmy joked, "Can we get married?"
Once they met for the first time, he claimed that he had been duped, saying she "definitely lied about how she looks."
Apparently, Chelsea tried to apologize.
After the viral moment, Chelsea shared that she was "truly humbled by the internet," telling E! News that she had reached out to apologize to Megan.
But to the actress’ credit, she’s on Chelsea’s side. "I didn't watch it, but I think in general, no one deserves to get bullied," Megan said. "I don't think she deserved that. I think people went way too hard."
Megan thinks people went too far.
"I did see a picture of her," Megan admitted. "A hundred thousand percent, people have told her, 'You kind of look like Megan Fox.' So I believe she's telling the truth and I hope like she still has that sparkle in her eye. I hope the world didn't steal it from her.
"Mine died long ago from being bullied for 20 years," she continued. "So I hope that didn't happen to her. Best wishes and blessings."

Even Jimmy thinks people's reactions are a little much.
Megan isn’t the only person who defended Chelsea. Jimmy did, too, telling Us Weekly that she didn’t deserve the backlash she received.
"To be fair, that woman didn’t say, ‘I look like Megan Fox.’ She said, ‘People tell me.’ But I heard that and I was so excited. So yeah, maybe my bad," he admitted.
"She’s getting a lot of heat and she doesn’t deserve it. She’s an amazing person and I will shield her from all that s— if I need to. I can speak numbers to how she is as a person, and if they want to hate on somebody, they should hate on me," he added.
