However, Chrissy’s group informed Business Insider simply days later on that the screenshots Michael were phony, indicating disparities in Instagram format and an old profile image of her. Michael’s associate then informed E! News that Chrissy “remains the same bully, despite her public apology.”
Chrissy later on dealt with Michael straight, tweeting on June 18, “you are now causing actual pain to people who are trying to better themselves. Enough. Or this WILL go further. Not here, but an actual court of law. And every dime we win will go to an anti bullying charity focused on turning this s–t show into a positive.” She attempted to negate his supposed DMs by publishing her own supposed screenshots, which revealed their harmless DM history.
Husband John Legend likewise pertained to her defense at the time. “Chrissy apologized for her public tweets, but after her apology, Mr. Costello fabricated a DM exchange between them,” the Grammy winner tweeted. “This exchange was made up, completely fake, never happened.”
John showed, “I encourage everyone who breathlessly spread this lie to keep the same energy when they correct the record.”
Chrissy published a declaration that was composed on her behalf, repeating that she excused public tweets she has actually made and specifying she has never ever “conspired” with anybody to damage Michael’s profession. Read the complete declaration here.
