Megan Fox has broken her silence after a reality show contestant was slammed for claiming she was her doppelgänger.
There was an infamous moment in the latest season of Love Is Blind when Chelsea Blackwell compared herself to Megan.
After viewers watched the Netflix reality show, they were quick to point out that they didn’t believe that Chelsea looked anything like the actress, but now we can hear from the Transformers star herself.
Megan, 37 shared her thoughts with E! News on Saturday 13 April and discussed the sixth season contestant.

It all began when Chelsea told her love interest, Jimmy Presnell in the pods that she had been told that she resembled the Jennifer’s Body actress and was trolled shortly after by naysayers.
"Do you ever get told you look like a celebrity?" the flight attendant asked Jimmy on the show.
Once he confirmed that he did, she replied: "I do, too. All the time on the planet. I get one person, and it's just because I have dark hair and blue eyes."
Jimmy was intrigued as Chelsea continued: "But I don't see it, so don't get excited. I don't even know if it's MGK's wife or girlfriend..."
"Megan Fox?!" Jimmy exclaimed. "You're saying you look like Megan Fox?"
"It's just because I have light eyes and dark hair," she quipped back.
"That's the only reason, there's nothing else. At least I'm assuming so."
Many viewers admitted they didn't see the likeness, and Jimmy accused her of 'lying' to him about it.
He said on the show: "She definitely lied to me about some, uh, how she looked. Chelsea told me she looked like Megan Fox.”
He went on to say that although he didn’t see it, he was still ‘attracted’ to her: “At the end of the day it doesn't really matter. I'm very attracted to her - I can work with that.”
In general, Chelsea had an incredibly rough ride on Love is Blind, and pleaded with viewers to stop sending her death threats at one point.
Admitting that she hasn’t watched the show, the real Megan Fox went on to confirm that she had heard about the comparison.
She said: “I've never had more people text me about something because I don't really watch TV very much.
“But I've had a lot of people text me and stop me. Even other celebrities at like Oscar parties were like, ‘Do you watch Love Is Blind?’ And I was like, ‘No, but I know what you're talking about.’”
However, she was quick to defend Chelsea: “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.”
Megan then mentioned that she had seen a picture of Chelsea and that even she sees the resemblance.
She explained: “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 like she still has that sparkle in her eye. I hope the world didn't steal it from her.
“Mine died long ago from being bullied for 20 years. So, I hope that didn't happen to her. Best wishes and blessings.”
