CHRISSY UNDER FIRE… again!

The dust had barely settled on Chrissy Teigen’s last online bullying scandal – where she was caught telling model Courtney Stodden to “take a dirt nap” in resurfaced tweets from 2011 – before new accusations of bad behaviour were levelled against the star. Fashion designer Michael Costello, 38, shared an emotional post to Instagram on June 14, where he recalled an alleged exchange that took place via text messages between the pair in 2014.

“For the past 7 years, I’ve lived with a deep, unhealed trauma,” Costello shared. “I wanted to kill myself and I still am traumatised, depressed and have thoughts of suicide,” he explained. The Fashion News Live star alleges he was met with a cutting response after he reached out to Teigen, 35, who called him a “racist” in a public Instagram comment, after a “photoshopped” social post of him using a disgraceful racial slur surfaced online.

“Racist people like you deserve to suffer and die,” the alleged text from Teigen read. “You might as well be dead. Your career is over, just watch,” it also states.
