Alison Roman’s NYT food column suspended after Chrissy Teigen feud

It’s fair to say that Alison Roman is having a pretty tumultuous couple of weeks and that her feud with Chrissy Teigen isn’t going away anytime soon. After the cookbook author and food personality backtracked and apologized for the comments she made about Teigen running a "content farm", Roman’s popular food column for the New York Times has now been suspended.Daily Beast reports that the column is on “temporary leave” despite the fact that the latest story was supposedly submitted and ready to go, and a spokesperson declined to elaborate on why or reveal when readers can expect it to return. It could very well be that Roman needed to take a step back, or perhaps the powers that be weren’t interested in being dragged into a Twitter war with celebrities and it was getting a bit too hot in that kitchen.

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

Either way, it’s bad timing for Roman, who was in the middle of working on a new book and had just sold a TV show (you know the one that Chrissy Teigen was executive producing). It’s also bad news for her fans who have come to expect a new biweekly recipe to sink their teeth into.
