The comparison started when Chelsea Blackwell mentioned to her then-love interest Jimmy Presnell in the Love Is Blind pods that people had told her she resembled Megan Fox.

Despite Blackwell's denial of the resemblance and warning to Presnell not to take it seriously, he accused her of lying about her appearance.

The situation led to an online backlash towards Blackwell, which Fox addressed in an interview with E News, saying "I don't think she deserved that. I think people went way too hard."

Regarding the comparison itself, Fox admitted that she can see the resemblance.

“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 she still has that sparkle in her eye.” The actress told the publication.

Fox also admitted that her own sparkle was dimmed by bullying she experienced for two decades. “Mine died long ago from being bullied for 20 years,” she explained. “I hope that didn't happen to her.”

Fox concluded the interview by sending Blackwell best wishes and blessings.
