[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m really not sure why Leona Lewis wants a piece of this mess.  Teigan has a pattern of behavior and the Costello situation reinforces that regardless of him sucking or not.[/quote]

Chrissy Teigan bullied a bunch of people online. Facts. But this costello thing has seemed different to me because it is clear in these text messages that she is not trying to bully him, she believes he is racist and is furious about that. He is not a random Lindsay Lohan like pop culture person she decided to eviscerate, he's a random project runway contestant, and she's not really saying anything mean to him other than that she doesn't want to talk to him because she thinks he's racist.

So IMO, and this isn't a defense of Chrissy Teigan at large, just this specific thing, I think he's taking advantage of the fact that people are piling on her to try to position himself as a victim of her to get rid of this racist label. And if I were someone to whom he had been racist, as Leona Lewis seems to be, this would enrage me and I would speak up too. I think the fact that she's speaking up means its certainly true because there is no reason to enter into this yucky public feud unless you have real strong feelings about it. And if your real strong feelings were about giving Teigan cover you would have spoken up a couple weeks ago. [/quote]

She said she hopes he suffers and dies.  I haven’t seen Lewis say anything about him calling her the N word but most of my news on teigan is coming from this thread.  Is there a quote from her?[/quote]

She says she thinks racist people should suffer and die. And she's a WOC married to a black man with two children of color. I think that is a FAR cry from the courtney stodden BS (which is heinous). She had a specific issue with this guy, this wasn't just piling on someone from the internet, this was a disagreement with this guy that was due to real things she thought about him. And based on twitter, I think the jury is WAY out on whether Michael Costello should be any type of sympathy victim here.

Yeah, I'm also a WOC, and I think this type of behavior (saying anyone should "suffer and die") is beyond the pale. Also, it looks like the kind of behavior she engaged in extended beyond just sending messages that she wasn't interested in talking to him, she also went out of her way to close professional doors and badmouth him in public. Obviously racism is bad and racists shouldn't get a pass, but I don't think it justifies going on a vigilante campaign to ruin someone's career based on a few tweets, especially when that person reaches out and tries to explain/tell you that at least some of the evidence of that is fake or inaccurate. At that point, the right thing to do is either ignore that person and move on (not try to ruin their career) or to at least hear them out before you start actively badmouthing them and doing things that will affect their career. So if this is true (I realize we are only hearing his side of the story), it reflects poorly on her despite the fact that she thought he was a racist, and IMO certainly qualifies as bullying.

I don't know who Costello is, and maybe he has said racist things/isn't the most sympathetic person, but I don't think using a power differential to crush someone's career is okay without giving them at least some due process first. [/quote]
