Shortly after Chrissy Teigen released a lengthy statement Monday about being a « troll, » one of her alleged targets came forward to talk about the damage he says has been done.
« Project Runway » contestant Michael Costello posted a statement on his verified Instagram account saying he « wanted to kill myself and I still am traumatized, depressed, and have thoughts of suicide » after alleged bullying by Teigen in 2014. « I didn’t want to do this, but I can not be happy until I speak my mind, » he wrote in the caption. « I need to heal and in order for me to do that I must reveal what I’ve been going through. » CNN has reached out to reps for Teigen for comment. According to Costello, Teigen accused him of being a racist based on what he said was a « photoshopped comment » that he said has since been proven to be false and taken down.
