Brian Austin Green, the ex-husband of Megan Fox, recently shared his thoughts on the controversy surrounding Love Is Blind season 6 contestant Chelsea Blackwell. Since the release of the first episodes on February 14, Blackwell has faced criticism online for claiming that many people have told her she resembles Megan Fox, MGK’s wife.
During a conversation in the pods with love interest Jimmy Presnell, Blackwell mentioned the comparison but quickly dismissed it, saying it was likely due to her dark hair and blue eyes. However, Jimmy wasn’t convinced and accused her of lying after seeing her in person for the first time.
In contrast, Brian Austin Green empathized with Blackwell, stating that people often make celebrity comparisons based on certain physical attributes. He shared his own experience of being compared to Owen Wilson and advised cutting Blackwell some slack for her comments on the show. Despite acknowledging that discussing looks was not in line with the show’s premise, Green emphasized the importance of learning from such experiences.
In a recent interview with Glamour, Blackwell acknowledged her mistake in engaging in conversations about physical appearances in the pods and expressed hope that future Love Is Blind contestants would refrain from similar discussions. She emphasized that the focus should be on the experiment and forming meaningful connections, rather than superficial comparisons.
As the discussions surrounding Blackwell’s comments continue, it remains to be seen how the Love Is Blind community and viewers will perceive her journey on the show.
