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.
