On Friday, Chrissy Teigen issued a statement denying the recent accusations of bullying made by designer Michael Costello.

“She did not acknowledge nor apologize for sending private messages directing or encouraging self-harm.” As you might recall, Teigen recently apologized for targeting a then-teenage Courtney Stodden in public posts sent in 2011.

Stodden, however, alleged to the Daily Beast that Teigen also sent them DMs of a similar bullying nature.

While acknowledging an initial public comment she made in 2014 reacting to a racist post falsely attributed to Costello, a comment Teigen indicates she later deleted, however, the model and actress says the “receipts” Costello posted to prove Teigen subsequently threatened his career via DM are straight-up false.

“This exchange was made up, completely fake, never happened.” After Costello went public with his allegations, singer Leona Lewis accused the designer himself of bullying, allegedly refusing to dress her due to her size, an incident for which Costello also subsequently apologized.

“The fact that Chrissy Teigen’s team is desperately trying to prove the DM’s are fake and attempts to discredit Michael Costello, a victim of trauma and bullying by Chrissy Teigen both online and offline, confirms that she remains the same bully, despite her public apology,” he said via a spokesperson?
