Now, she gets candid about her looks and details opting for a tummy tuck procedure.

Chelsea Blackwell caused a stir on Love Is Blind when she and her then-love interest started talking “celebrity look-a-likes.” After almost breaking the internet with all the Megan Fox comparisons, Chelsea is now something of a celebrity.

She tells the outlet she previously “felt crappy” about her body and wanted to remove excess skin and fat from the stomach area.

“…I was really open and honest about my weight and how I struggled with it my whole life,” she says.

Chelsea isn’t going to ‘lie’

While many people in the public eye opt for tweakments and surgical enhancements and keep things under wraps, Chelsea explains how she wants to be “transparent” about her journey.

The Love Is Blind star says she got the tummy tuck at 30 years old and took a “big leap of faith” in opting for the procedure.

She tells of how she “struggled” her whole life and “never had anything like that done” before the surgery.

When it comes to her results, Chelsea says she’s “so happy” and “…very, very grateful I did it.”

She also wants people who are struggling or in the same mindset that she was to know they’re “not alone.”

Chelsea explains: “I don’t ever want to be like, ‘I got this body by working out and eating healthy.’ No, I went and I got something done. I don’t want to lie to people. I want to be honest and raw.”
