"Chrissy apologized for her public tweets, but after her apology, Mr Costello fabricated a DM exchange between them," Legend tweeted on Friday."This exchange was made up, completely fake, never happened."
A missing blue check mark, different background colors and the presence of a video chat icon could all indicate the screenshots were fabricated, according to Insider.
Costello's Instagram page was changed to private on Friday, taking his post with the screenshots of the alleged exchange with Teigen from public view.He wrote that his initial interaction with Teigen came from what he said was a Photoshopped comment floating around online alleging that he used a racial slur. He said the image was false and eventually taken down by Instagram.
TODAY has confirmed that Instagram did not have a fact-checking policy in 2014 that would've resulted in the alleged image being taken down.In the screenshots that Costello shared on Instagram, a reply labeled as being from Teigen refuses to call Costello, saying"No! I do not have anything to say to you. You will get what's coming to you."
A screenshot of a subsequent alleged reply by Teigen says,"Racist people like you deserve to suffer and die. You might as well be dead. Your career is over, just watch."Honestly I don’t know why anyone would fake DMs to insert themselves in this narrative, but that’s what happened.
