Chrissy Teigen has returned to Twitter to put the Alison Roman feud to bed.
Shortly after Roman’s “formal” apology, Teigen wrote a long-ass Twitter thread, beginning with: “Thank u for this, @alisoneroman.”
“To be clear, it never once crossed my mind for u to apologise for what you genuinely thought! The comments stung, but they more so stung because they came from u! It wasn’t my usual news break of some random person hating everything about me!”
She went on to call out folks who bullied Roman, writing: “I don’t agree with the pile-on, ppl waiting with bated breath for apologies, deciding if that apology is good, the ppl who say u were right & never needed to in the first place – there are so many different types in this kind of situation & tbh, I just want it to be over.”
Surprisingly, she actually stated that she thought she and Roman are “alike in so many ways.”
“I remember the exact time I realised I wasn’t allowed to say whatever popped in my head-that I couldn’t just say things in the way that so many of my friends were saying.
“Before, I never really knew where I stood in the industry, in the world.”

I think we are alike in so many ways. I remember the exact time I realized I wasn’t allowed to say whatever popped in my head-that I couldn’t just say things in the way that so many of my friends were saying. Before, I never really knew where I stood in the industry, in the world

Eventually, I realized that once the relatable “snarky girl who didn’t care” became a pretty successful cookbook author and had more power in the industry, I couldn’t just say whatever the fuck I wanted. The more we grow, the more we get those wakeup calls.

Oh! but how I still think some of those things. I just maybe don’t unleash on my peers on super public platforms lol.

I often comment about how I wish I could get away with what I used to, now, but the truth is, I don’t. I’ve learned a fuckton from my years being watched (& read) and I can really say it makes you a better person! It makes u think about the impact of what u say/who it might hurt

I still think you are incredibly talented. And in an industry that doesn’t really lend itself to supporting more than a handful of people at a time, I feel like all we have are each other!

And honestly, for the past few days, every time I saw a shallot I wanted to cry, but I do appreciate this and hopefully we can all be better and learn from the dumb shit we have all said and done.

Ah well, all’s well that ends well.
