Megan Fox has finally addressed the very viral Love Is Blind comparisons.
Earlier this year, Chelsea Blackwell featured on the most recent season of Netflix's hit reality TV show, Love Is Blind.
As per its title, the contestants don't get to see what each other look like until later on in the experiment and, while they're supposed to remain shtum about their appearances, Chelsea chose to tease what she looked like to love interest Jimmy Presnell.

In now-viral clips of the programme, Chelsea compared herself to Transformers star, Megan Fox.
While Chelsea meant no harm with the remark, she went on to receive a lot of abuse online - even getting death threats.
The 31-year-old later took to social media to ask people to stop trolling her about her very public celebrity comparison.
"Here me out, you guys have every right to have your opinions because let’s be honest - woof," she said.
"Imagine spending the year just really working on yourself, fighting those inner demons and really becoming the women you’ve always wanted to be.
“Sitting with hardships in your life that you’ve never really sat with before and then having to relive it.”
Chelsea went on to plead: "Maybe we can cease the death threats for a minute? I don’t know, just a thought."
She also addressed the moment on the Love Is Blind reunion where she expressed her regrets over the 'silly little comment'.
Noting the abuse she'd been getting, Chelsea added that she was 'really stinkin proud' of herself with how she'd handled it all.
Now, after weeks of waiting, Megan herself has commented on the ordeal.
Chatting to E! News, the Jennifer's Body star said: "I didn’t watch it, but I think in general, no one deserves to get bullied.
"I don’t think she deserved that. I think people went way too hard."
"I've never had more people text me about something," the 37-year-old continued to tell the showbiz outlet. "I don't really watch TV very much."
Megan also said that she understood people's comparisons to an extent and believed Chelsea when she said that people have said she looks like the star.
"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," Megan went on to say.
Elsewhere in her chat with E! News, the mom-of-three urged people not to 'waste your energy' on men.
"All they're going to do is drain you," she said. "Just move on. Invest in yourself."
