This past weekend, an interview with New York Times food columnist Alison Roman went viral because of the controversial comments she made about Marie Kondo and Chrissy Teigen. Chrissy took to Twitter to reveal how "bummed" she was about the comments and is now taking a break from the social media platform
ICYMI, in a story published by The New Consumer, Alison made comments about Marie Kondo insinuating the lifestyle guru is a sell-out, and then made similar accusations toward Chrissy.
"[Chrissy] 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," Alison said: "That horrifies me and it’s not something that I ever want to do. I don’t aspire to that. But like, who’s laughing now? Because she’s making a ton of fucking money."
When Chrissy read the article, she responded on Twitter. "I don't think I've ever been so bummed out by the words of a fellow food-lover. I just had no idea I was perceived that way, by her especially," she posted in a Twitter thread quoting an article that referenced the original story.
After receiving support from husband John Legend and fellow chef José Andrés, it seems like the hate Chrissy was getting online after addressing the conflict has become too much. "This is what always happens. The first day, a ton of support, then the next, 1 million reasons as to why you deserved this. It never fails," Chrissy wrote in a tweet on May 10.
Many came to her support, with celebrities like Patricia Arquette and Soledad O'Brien defending her choice. At the moment, Chrissy's Twitter account is now private, meaning new followers have to be approved and her posts cannot be retweeted.
