<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Maxie continued to say, “Michael Costello got the nerve to be playing victim of being bullied, but called his self bullying 7 years ago, and called me a “Black Ni**er Bit**” in a fabric store downtown he had the wrong one tho cus I most certainly whooped his a** almost went to jail too.&#8221; Maxie added, &#8220;Thank God for his mercy Cus I certainly LOST IT I never experienced racism before All I knew to do was FIGHT”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As previously reported, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">in a detailed post, Michael released alleged messages between the two, in which she allegedly told him he deserved to die and suffer because he was a racist.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This exchange happened after a comment went viral and alleged that Michael used the “N” word, during an exchange with a boutique owner. Though denying it and insisting the comment was photoshopped, Michael stated Chrissy’s comments drove him to the brink of suicide.</span></p>
<p>On Friday, John Legend defended his wife, stating the alleged screenshots were fake.</p>
<p>“Chrissy apologized for her public tweets, but after her apology, Mr Costello fabricated a DM exchange between them. This exchange was made up, completely fake, never happened. Receipts below:</p>
<p>Honestly I don’t know why anyone would fake DMs to insert themselves in this narrative, but that’s what happened.</p>
<p>I encourage everyone who breathlessly spread this lie to keep that same energy when they correct the record”</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you know, Chrissy Teigen offered a lengthy apology for her trolling behavior online. As a result of her actions, she lost a partnership with Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s.</span></p>
