Michael Costello took to his Instagram to write that he’s “traumatized” by the way he was allegedly treated by Chrissy Teigen.
He also shared a series of alleged nasty DM's the former model sent him.
"For the past 7 years, I’ve lived with a deep, unhealed trauma," he began his Instagram post.
"I didn’t share this with anyone because I was living in fear. In fear of losing some of my most profitable brand relationships; in fear of losing friends and allies; and in fear of being blocklisted even more by the power elites who run the industry."
"In 2014, I received a public comment from Chrissy Teigen on my Instagram page, accusing me of being a racist. She apparently formed her own opinion of me based on a photoshopped comment floating around the internet which has now been proven to be false by Instagram and since taken down," the 38-year-old continued.
"When I reached out to Chrissy Teigen to communicate that I was the victim of a vindictive cyber slander, and that everything she thought I was is not who I am, she told me that my career was over and that all my doors will be shut from there on."
But fans of Teigen have called out Costello for reportedly having a "problematic" past.
"There is a video of him (Costello) calling a black female designer the N word. It was all over the internet a few years back. I know her and I saw the video myself. So now he’s paying the price," one person wrote online.
"He’s a racist but wishing death on anybody is not cool… she actually wished it on herself truth be told," a second added.
"Micheal Costello is no saint himself, there was a lot of truth in that story and he was stealing designs from Black designers. He might’ve not said the n word but he said tons of other vile things to Black women. Chrissy isn’t the only one who needs to be cooked, boo hoo!" a third commented.
"This the same man who doesn’t like to dress black women? The same one who 'bullied' Kylie because she didn’t tag him for wearing a dress she BOUGHT (not promo)? The same one who made jokes about Lizzo’s weight? The same one who steals designs from black designers,??? Aw," a shady comment read.
"I know Chrissy might of went a bit too hard however, he’s not innocent he has a bad rep from many people for not being humble and rude before this situation blew up," a comment read.
Teigen publicly addressed her own bullying scandal, apologizing in a Medium post on Monday morning in which she admitted to being a "troll" and an "a**hole" while insisting that she is "no longer that person."
