"To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize."

[Rubylove]

Christie Tiegan is famous for no reason.

[KonigGustavAdolph]

This is the thing that gets the NYT to take action. Look at everything they have whiffed on over the last few years and let that sink in.

[ghenulo]

I suppose I'll watch this to know who Chrissy Teigen and Marie Kondo are. Though, something tells me that it's not important to know who either one is.

[jeandelagarza]

Everything is about race when it comes to the cancel culture group.

[mechajerkzilla]

I feel I woke up one day about 5 years ago into an alternate universe where everyone just decided at the same time that Chrissy Teigen was going to be famous for zero reason whatsoever. It’s like she won a McDonalds “be a celebrity” contest when I was sleeping and everyone in the world just agreed it was now a thing.

[alinedorsaint]

She should sue the New York Times for defamation and mischaracterization of her beliefs.

[borisbadenov]

The lady that wants you to let go of your possessions, also wants you to buy her expensive crap.

[Hadit]

10 months later Chrissy Teigan cancelled! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 now thats funny

[Donegal]

This is more like a case of “celebrity privilege.”

[searose]

I had No idea Chrissy Tiegan is Asian.

[ronque]

KONDO: “Get rid of your stuff that doesn’t give you joy, and buy my stuff which does! DUH!!!!”

[lotsageorges]

Identity politics do the opposite of what most think. This response will not help reduce racism against Asians. Maybe blaming Russia or China for everything for everything bad is a little more destructive to racial justice.

[XanMan]

Fun fact: Chrissy Teigen is the ONLY person I’ve ever blocked on social media. She is SO obnoxious and so negative.. Always arguing with someone new.

[MundaneDave]

I haven't heard of any of these women until this segment. **is now considered sexist**

[thgearouttahere]

Every step of these people's response to this is gross.
She should never have apologised.

[scottmead]

This reporting left out a crucial detail... Alison didn't just coincidently went after two Asian women, she actually did a mocking Japanese accent when she did that Marie bit, critique whatever you want, but it's that bit that's racist. Any person of East Asian descent can immediately clock the implications of a phrase such as "please to buy my cutting board” (the poor, submissive Asian woman with broken English ready to please)

[markryan]

This kind of stuff is becoming way too common. I feel like everyday there's a story of somebody getting fired for criticizing somebody

[moomoocachoo]

I found it hypocritical that Alison Roman bashed two Asian women who are making money, while she was also trying to shill $200 spoons. "These women are selling stuff and it's so commercial, but make sure you check out my products which are amazing." No. It is odd that she only went after two Asian women, when there are many examples of people doing the same thing. I don't know much about her, but from what I've read this is something she's done many times before, especially with women of colour.

Teigen is the establishment's favorite mouthpiece. Total garbage.
