In case you don't already know who Marie Kondo is, she is a tidying-up master.
She has managed to become a household name and make a wildly successful career out of cleaning up other people's messes professionally.
Anyway, she was aggressively called out by a food critic for "selling out", and fans are not having it!
Say anything you want about any other celebrity. But if you talk smack about Marie Kondo, the gloves are off! She is off-limits.
Unfortunately, food critic, Alison Roman, is finding that out the hard way...
She never seemed like the type of person who would stir the pot (no pun intended).
But she recently made some rather scandalous remarks about Chrissy Teigen and Marie Kondo.
In a recent interview with The Consumer, she let people know who she really feels about Chrissy and Marie.
"There’s just too much stuff in the world. I want so much less stuff in my life, and I don’t want to contribute to that," she said.
"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."
"That horrifies me and it’s not something that I ever want to do. I don’t aspire to that."
She added that she wants to separate herself from people like Chrissy.
"To me, the only way that I can continue to differentiate myself from the pod of people that write recipes, or cookbooks or whatever, is by doing a different thing," she said.
I'm guessing that it's safe to assume that Chrissy is no longer a fan of Alison or her cookbooks.
"Like the idea that when Marie Kondo decided to capitalize on her fame and make stuff that you can buy, that is completely antithetical to everything she’s ever taught you…," she said.
"Someone’s like “you should make stuff,” and she’s like, “okay, slap my name on it, I don’t give a [expletive]!”
I'm judging by the amount of explicit language used in this quote, Alison really does not think too highly of Marie.
Calling Marie the b-word was definitely out of order and unnecessary considering she literally helps people for a living.
Let her live her life, damn!
If she wants to expand her brand and make more money, it is first of all her prerogative, and doesn't necessarily make her a "sell-out".
If you want to take shots at Marie Kondo, be prepared to face her fans.
They do not mess around!
Marie Kondo is a household name, Alison Roman is not, and who knows, maybe that's probably why she's so salty.
Were her comments out of line? Or does she make a good point?
