Love is Blind star Chelsea Blackwell has blasted her ‘edit’ on the hit Netflix series.
Appearing on Speidi’s 16th Minute podcast, the 31-year-old insisted that she was misrepresented and that her relationship with Jimmy Presnell wasn’t shown accurately.
‘We only film a very brief moment in the afternoon, so there’s so much that’s not captured and not on camera,’ she insisted.
‘I was reacting certain ways for a reason that wasn’t shown on camera,’ Chelsea continued.
‘It’s just crazy how the world views your edit and sees the show and thinks that’s you and it’s truly not the case.’

Reflecting on her romance with Jimmy, Chelsea said that many of their ‘big issues’ weren’t even captured by producers.
The flight attendant was adamant that Jimmy was spending too much time with his friends during filming and that he, ‘didn’t really want to spend time with me as much’.
‘He was more concerned with his social life and that was something that was a huge issue for us.’
Despite Chelsea being edited as clingy and wildly insecure on the series, podcast host Heidi Montag slammed Jimmy and said that she was on Chelsea’s side the entire time.
‘I felt like he was so out of line the whole time,’ she raged. ‘I felt like he was being sneaky!’
The couple ended up splitting towards the end of filming their season of Love is Blind, and while they remain friends now, they’ve closed the door on romance.
Chelsea was brutally trolled by Love is Blind viewers during her time on the series.

While her overly emotional antics shocked the audience, it was when she compared herself to Megan Fox that really made her the subject of widespread ridicule.
At one point, the backlash got so bad that she was forced to run to social media and tell trolls to ‘cool it’ amid all the nasty comments.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight about the doppelganger debacle, Blackwell said that she had personally reached out to Fox to apologize for making the comparison.
‘I did reach out to her, and I was like, “I’m so sorry I did this to you”,’ she admitted.
‘I’m just waiting for Megan to respond,’ she added optimistically.
