Alison Roman set off a firestorm of controversy and criticism when she went after Chrissy Teigen and Marie Kondo in an online interview last week. Her comments ignited several days’ worth of Twitter obsession, as well as coverage on other podcasts and even Good Morning America. On today’s show, Preeti Mistry joins Andrew to talk about the issues the interview raised about privilege, race, appropriation, and more.
