The New York Times, a far-left paper that recently allowed one of its columnists to disseminate a despicable lie about Fox News host Sean Hannity, has suspended another columnist for the apparent sin of criticizing anti-Trump celebrity Chrissy Teigen and organizing expert Marie Kondo.
In an interview earlier in the month with another outlet, this columnist, famed cook and food expert Alison Roman, dared to criticize the route Chrissy Teigen and Marie Kondo had taken career-wise. And now, roughly two weeks later, her column has reportedly been suspended.
“A spokesperson for the paper confirmed … on Tuesday that Roman’s column is “on temporary leave.” The paper did not elaborate on how long it would last nor did it give a specific reason for why,” The Daily Beast reported.
All this because Roman had expressed feeling as if Teigen and Marie Kondo had chased after fame and fortune instead of displaying real passion and interest for cooking and organizing, respectively.
“She had a successful cookbook, and then it was like boom, line at Target,” she’d said of Teigen. “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. But like, who’s laughing now? Because she’s making a ton of f—ing money.”
She’d added: “I’d rather stay small and always be myself. But at the same time, I do need to figure out how to turn this into money.”
In response, Teigen had thrown a “woe is me” fit.
Look:
this is a huge bummer and hit me hard. I have made her recipes for years now, bought the cookbooks, supported her on social and praised her in interviews. I even signed on to executive produce the very show she talks about doing in this article. https://t.co/9xrvQBInAp

I started cravings because I wanted something for myself. I wanted something John didn’t buy, I wanted something to do that calmed me, made me happy and made others happy, too. Cravings isn’t a “machine” or “farmed content” – it’s me and 2 other women.

I didn’t “sell out” by making my dreams come true. To have a cookware line, to get to be a part of that process start to finish, to see something go from sketch to in my hands, I love that.

to see that thing in my hand being used by people around the world makes me so happy. Watching a company grow makes me happy. I get joy from it and lots of people do.

I genuinely loved everything about Alison. Was jealous she got to have a book with food on the cover instead of a face!! I’ve made countless NYT recipes she’s created, posting along the way.

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. And Marie, too. Marie is awesome.

There was a certain irony to it, given as Teigen is a nasty woman who has no qualms about spewing genuinely vile remarks about President Donald Trump and his family.
But faced with simple criticism, she fell apart to such a degree that Roman felt compelled to issue an apology to her and also Kondo.
Look:
I’ve thought a lot this weekend about my interview and the things I said. I know this is a lengthy note (succinctness has never been my strong suit). I appreciate you taking the time to read. pic.twitter.com/3iGAyN3c9d

“I need to learn, and respect, the difference between being unfiltered and honest vs. being uneducated and flippant,” she wrote. “The burden is not on them (or anyone else) to teach me, and I’m deeply sorry that my learning came at Chrissy and Marie’s expense.”
But the apology was apparently not enough for the Times, which has no issues publishing blatant lies and smears — not to mention assassination fantasies about the president — but cannot tolerate one of its columnists uttering criticism toward a profanity loving anti-Trump zealot.
The apology was enough for Teigen, though:
thank u for this, @alisoneroman. To be clear, it never once crossed my mind for u to apologize for what you genuinely thought! The comments stung, but they moreso stung because they came from u! It wasn’t my usual news break of some random person hating everything about me!

It’s unclear if and when Teigen will ever be held accountable for her own stinging, hateful comments toward anyone who dares to think differently than her.
In a tweet posted two months ago, she described first lady Melania Trump’s successful “Be Best” program as “be best s–t” and labeled the president a “do nothing f—ing loser wimp.”
Look (*Language warning):
Has melania even thought about doing something with her be best shit during these times? I see regular ass awesome people on my timeline all day doing all they can to make people happy and this wifebot is working on whatever the fuck a tennis gazebo is

I expect Donald to be a do nothing fucking loser wimp but she could maybe possibly try to uhhh BE BETTER possibly the best be the best the best be best.

ALL I have seen this bot do is gently touch Christmas ornaments in a cape and stare in a cape and pat statues in a different cape and then change her cape into a rude ass jacket. Fuck you

It’s not clear why the Times is more concerned with not hurting this woman’s feelings than it is with not being a garbage paper.
