and Marie Kondo on Instagram today after excerpts from an interview made the rounds on the internet over the weekend. In the article, which was published in , Roman called out Teigen and Kondo, saying that they were cashing in and going against the things that they'd evangelized.
"Like, what Chrissy Teigen has done is so crazy to me. 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," Roman 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 f–king money.
"I'm a white woman who has and will continue to benefit from white privilege and I recognize that makes what I said even more inexcusable and hurtful. The fact that it didn't occur to me that I had singled out two Asian women is one hundred percent a function of my privilege ," she wrote. "I know that our culture frequently goes after women, especially women of color, and I'm ashamed to have contributed to that.
She continued, writing that there needed to be broader discussions about success in the food world and who is allowed to be successful by the industry at large. She adds that she's committed to hearing all sides of the story and open to any criticism that allows her to grow and "do better." "I've messed up," she finishes. "I promise I'm not putting this behind me in hopes that it goes away. I need to learn from this, and I'm going to use it as a motivation to do and be better."
