Chrissy Teigen isn't holding a grudge against Alison Roman and doesn't want the New York Times to either.
The newspaper recently put the cooking columnist on temporary leave after Roman made some disparaging comments about Teigen's food brand, Cravings, and Netflix organizational star Marie Kondo.

She also said that Kondo was a sell-out for trying to "capitalize on her fame and make stuff that you can buy" when her shtick is to declutter your life.

"I have made her recipes for years now, bought the cookbooks, supported her on social, and praised her in interviews," the TV personality said.
Roman was blasted on social media for knocking another woman's business and subsequently apologized to Teigen and Kondo in a long letter on social media a few days later.

They’ve worked extremely hard to get where they are, and both deserve better than my tone deaf remarks.”
Teigen publicly forgave Roman. They also are reportedly working on a TV show together but production has been put on hold during the coronavirus pandemic.

"When I said I don’t believe in being canceled for your honest opinion, that was very real. I don’t agree with what the NYT has done, I am not them. I didn’t call them, I didn’t write, and most of all, I’d like her back.”
