Love Is Blind Brutally Mocks Chelsea’s Megan Fox Comparison With Los Angeles Billboard

Love Is Blind and Netflix are now openly making fun of Chelsea Blackwell’s controversial claim that she looks like Megan Fox. The hit reality dating experiment debuted in 2020 and has aired multiple seasons since then, with varying success among the contestants. Love Is Blind season 6 is now being released on Netflix. One of the Love Is Blind season 6 cast members, Chelsea, said that she looks like the Transformers actress. Unfortunately for her, the online reaction was extremely harsh.

After Chelsea and Megan trended online, Netflix decided to get in on the controversy even more by making fun of the situation. The streaming service put up a billboard in Los Angeles, California, that said, “‘People say I look like the Hollywood sign’ — Me on Love Is Blind.”

The streaming service posted a photo on Instagram and added the caption, “I’m flattered.” Next to the message was Netflix’s red “N” logo. It’s not clear where exactly this billboard is located, but E! News reports that it’s in Los Angeles.

“An entire corporation targeting one woman…on her appearance.”

Love Is Blind Fans Claim Netflix Is Bullying Chelsea

While Netflix is trying to make light of Chelsea’s Megan Fox comparison, the response on social media has been brutal. Sherryannecrowe called Netflix “mean” for puting up that billboard, despite the fact that this social media user isn’t a fan of Chelsea. Ok_pancake put is very bluntly by saying, “An entire corporation targeting one woman…on her appearance.” llaax9 thinks Netflix should target the men from Love Is Blind season 6 instead of the women. “Why don’t we make a sign about that?” they asked. Colemv546 called the billboard “low key bullying,” despite how funny the message might seem.

Netflix did have some social media users defending the billboard. For example, K.proctor_ said, “Chelsea knew exactly what she was doing when she said what she said,” adding that the Love Is Blind season 6 contestant is “emotionally immature.” After Netflix posted the photo to its Instagram page, Chelsea found out and shared it to her Instagram Stories. She said, “I did my service,” and added the saluting face emoji, making it appear that she has no issue with the billboard and is taking it all in stride.

Chelsea’s Megan Fox comparison was a big topic of discussion surrounding Love Is Blind season 6. Netflix wanted to take advantage of the controversy and assumed a lot of people passing by on that road would understand the reference. The fan reactions clearly show that it might not have been a smart move. Chelsea didn’t seem offended by the billboard, so at least she’s not feeling hurt by what Netflix did. However, the critical fan comments do make some great points about bullying when there are contestants with much bigger issues that should be addressed instead.
