The fashion industry is no stranger to controversy and drama. The Chrissy Teigen and Michael Costello episode, which started a few days ago, is still raging. The latter accused Tiegen of bullying in years gone by, and netizens soon took to Twitter and began canceling her.Despite apologizing on Twitter for her overall past behavior, it seemed internet justice was about to prevail. However, as the saying goes, life is filled with unexpected twists and turns, and Chrissy Tiegen had a major u-turn up her sleeve for Michael Costello.Also read: "Cancel Chrissy Teigen": Model's apology for "horrible tweets" backfires as shocking new Michael Costello claims emergeHonestly I don’t know why anyone would fake DMs to insert themselves in this narrative, but that’s what happened.— John Legend (@johnlegend) June 18, 2021Chrissy Teigen claps back at Michael CostelloFollowing the fiasco between the two, it has come to light that the so-called "screenshots" spread by Michael are supposedly fabricated.According to Chrissy, he flaunted fabricated DMs to distort and destroy her image in the fashion industry. The model took to Twitter to post a picture of the statement given on her behalf, which read:"Chrissy is completely surprised and disappointed by Michael Costello's recent attack, which includes fictional 'screenshots' from 2014 of supposed private messages that Chrissy did not send. She has never conspired with anyone to harm his career."It's clear that the screenshots have no truth to them. In the same post, Chrissy Teigen also posted a conversation where readers can see that Michael had messaged her compliments and asked if she would be interested in helping out for a charity event.The statement further read:"Chrissy has acknowledged her past behavior and the pain she has caused, but she will not stand for anyone spreading false accusations to demean her name and reputation further. She will continue to do the work she needs to do to be the best person she can be, and she hopes that Michael Costello can do the same."Michael Costello also posted videos where he was VERY confused about Leona Lewis’ stylist reaching out and being kind.
