Even after releasing not one, but two apologies following her feud with fellow lifestyle pro Chrissy Teigen, Alison Roman’s popular food column for The New York Times has been temporarily shelved.
A spokesperson for the paper confirmed to The Daily Beast that the 34-year-old cook’s column is now “on temporary leave.”
The “Nothing Fancy” author recently had some choice words about Teigen‘s trajectory in the food world and also took a swing at organizing consultant Marie Kondo for being a hypocrite.
“What Chrissy Teigen has done is so crazy to me,” Roman had told The New Consumer. “She had a successful cookbook. And then it was like: Boom, line at Target. Boom, now she has an Instagram page that has over a million followers where it’s just, like, people running a content farm for her. That horrifies me and it’s not something that I ever want to do. I don’t aspire to that.
“The idea that when Marie Kondo decided to capitalize on her fame and make stuff that you can buy, that is completely antithetical to everything she’s ever taught you,” Roman added, referring to Kondo’s online store. “I’m like, damn, bitch, you f–king just sold out immediately! Someone’s like ‘you should make stuff,’ and she’s like, ‘okay, slap my name on it, I don’t give a s–t!’”
She later apologized after model Teigen, also 34, shared her disappointment in Roman’s perspective.
“I shouldn’t have used you/your business (or Marie’s!) as an example to show what I wanted for my own career – it was flippant, careless and I’m so sorry,” Roman tweeted to the “Cravings” author May 8.
She added, “Being a woman who takes down other women is absolutely not my thing and don’t think it’s yours, either (I obviously failed to effectively communicate that). I hope we can meet one day, I think we’d probably get along.”
