Designer says he has ongoing suicidal thoughts years after exchanges with Chrissy Teigen
NBC News reached out to a representative for Teigen and has not received a response. NBC News also has not verified the direct message exchanges between Costello and Teigen. A spokesperson for Rose said she did not have a comment.
Costello wrote that he has been living with"deep, unhealed trauma" for the past seven years after the interaction with Teigen, who has nearly 50 million followers combined between Twitter and Instagram. "So many nights I stayed awake, wanting to kill myself," he wrote."I didn't see the point of living. There was no way I can ever escape from being the target of the powerful elites in Hollywood, who actually do have powers to close doors with a single text."
He added that just last week he wrote personal letters to friends and family while contemplating taking his life because he"could not escape the false narrative that Chrissy Teigen, Monica Rose, and their friends believed in." "As a result of what Chrissy Teigen did to me in 2014, I am not okay," he wrote."I may never be okay, but today I am choosing to speak my truth."Costello's accusations about Teigen's online behavior follow revelations last month by model and TV personality Courtney Stodden, who identifies as nonbinary, that Teigen used to send them cruel tweets when they were a teenager. Teigen told Stodden in a since-deleted tweet that Teigen wanted them to take a"dirt nap.
