Love Is Blind star Chelsea Blackwell has taken to social media to ask trolls to 'cease the death threats'.

If you've been watching season six of the hit Netflix show then you'll know about the absolute rollercoaster that has been Chelsea and Jimmy Presnell's relationship so far.

From the whole 'Megan Fox lookalike' fiasco to the current perceived 'clingy' conversation that made us all cringe from our couches, it's been pretty hard-going for the couple.

However, 31-year-old Chelsea has now addressed the influx of harsh criticism she has received.

Posting a video to her TikTok and Instagram, she said: “Here me out, you guys have every right to have your opinions because let’s be honest - woof.

“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 called it 'mental', before saying that viewers had 'every single right to have their opinion' on her life.

“But I don’t know,” she added. “Maybe we can cease the death threats for a minute? I don’t know, just a thought.”

Since Chelsea chose to get engaged to Jimmy over Trevor Sova in the pods, people have had a lot to say about how the reality star has reacted to certain situations, with many dubbing her as 'clingy' and 'annoying'.

The latest 'clingy' comments stemmed from an argument that took place between her and Jimmy, after he decided to go and meet friends for a drink for an hour and a half without her. Although Chelsea claimed someone Jimmy had prior relations with was in attendance at the party.

Either way, the argument seems to have polarised viewers, with some calling Chelsea's reaction 'overbearing'.

The couple have had a difficult journey so far.

One wrote: "I just feel bad for Jimmy. Not that I liked the other girl for him either but I just kinda hope he says no."

Another added: "Chelsea from Love Is Blind is insufferable and insecure like it’s beyond annoying."

However, others have shared their support for Chelsea amid the backlash.

Fellow Love Is Blind star Laura Dadisman wrote: “You are one of, if not THE, kindest, sweetest, most amazing people I’ve ever met.

“None of this hate is even remotely warranted and I can’t wait for everyone to see/understand your full personality. You are so STRONG and so INCREDIBLE. I love you more than Taco Bell.”

Co-star Jessica Vestal also penned: "Babe no one has the right to speak to someone the way people are speaking to you.

"And although people are entitled to their opinions, if they don't have anything nice to say, they should keep it to themselves."

While someone else praised: "You are beautiful and amazing! Don't listen to the haters."
