Megan Fox has been labeled for years because of her looks, but when Chelsea Blackwell said she was told she looked like Jennifer’s body star, the internet jumped at the opportunity to mock Blackwell. Now, Fox is talking about the viral moment.
Talk with E! OnlineFox was asked whether or not she was aware of the situation with Chelsea on Love is blind. “I’ve never had so many people texting me about something,” Fox said. “I don’t really watch much TV. But a lot of people texted me and stopped me. Even other celebrities at parties like the Oscars were like, “Are you watching ‘Love is Blind’?” And I was like, “No, but I know what you’re talking about.” »
Fox then explained how, looking at Blackwell, she could tell that people absolutely told him she looked like him. “I haven’t watched it, but I think in general no one deserves to be bullied,” Fox said. “I don’t think she deserved that. I think people went too hard. I saw a photo of her. One hundred thousand percent, people told her, ‘You look a little like Megan Fox.’
And Fox finished her answer by talking about the bullying and how it diminished the sparkle in her eye, and she hopes it didn’t do that for Blackwell. “I believe she is telling the truth and I hope she still has that sparkle in her eye. I hope the world didn’t steal that from him,” Fox added.
“Mine died a long time ago after being bullied for 20 years. So I hope this didn’t happen to him. Best wishes and blessings. She added: “I don’t think she deserved that. I think people went too hard. It was very weird. I don’t know why this got so much attention.
Once again, Blackwell was not wrong in this situation
The celebrity lookalike game can end up hurting people, as this situation shows. I know my celebrity lookalikes are all women with round, circular faces and pointy chins with light eyes. It’s not that we look alike, but our features are similar. Blackwell’s situation came at a time when the man she was talking to, Jimmy Presnell, couldn’t see her.
Many of us in the audience thought she looked a bit like Megan Fox, but Presnell and others reacted as if she was supposed to be a carbon copy of Fox. And that’s just not how this question usually works. Fox is absolutely right about all of this, and I hope Blackwell is doing just fine knowing that a lot of people understood where she was coming from, but it’s also weird that Fox had to bring this up.
Women are often diminished in their appearance, something Fox knows incredibly well given how Hollywood has treated her, and that’s what happened to Blackwell by using Fox’s looks against her, and this is not good.
